CHARACTERIZATION OF PLANTING PATTERN ADOPTED FOR URBAN AFFORESTAION IN THE CITY OF CURITIBA, PARANA STATE,

ABSTRACT planting on sidewalks should conciliate two objectives: species diversity and composition uniformity aiming at environmental quality and quality of management practices. The objective of this research was to evaluate species composition patterns and changes may have occurred between the years of 1984 and 2010. For that purpose, we re-measured 15 sample plots of an inventory conducted in 1984. For results comparison, we analyzed planting patterns of each street and each city unit plot. Complete changes in planting patterns occurred in three unit plots (Bacacheri 03, Boqueirão and Centro), however the patterns were maintained in the other plots. The comparative analysis between planting patterns and the most often planted species in each district showed that only in seven unit plots, more than 50% of streets showed occurrence of from the species pattern corresponding to the most frequent occurring species, both in 1984 and 2010. Among the main species introduced as a planting pattern, chrysotrichus stood out as the most usual option for new planting patterns between 1984 and 2010. The analysis of species similarity showed that species composition of unit plots remained the same (p<0.01), except for Bacacheri 03 and Boqueirão unit plots where we detected composition dissimilarity. We concluded that by defining planting patterns for urban trees of Curitiba allowed to learn about trends for tree planting adopted by municipal administration and that for the general context sampled, no changes of planting patterns between 1984 and 2010 were observed.

RESUMO O plantio de árvores nas calçadas deve conciliar dois objetivos da arborização de ruas: diversidade de espécies e uniformidade de composição, visando a qualidade ambiental dos plantios e a qualidade das práticas de manejo. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os padrões de composição de espécies utilizadas e as alterações ocorridas entre os anos de 1984 e 2010. Para isso, foram remedidas 15 unidades amostrais de um inventário realizado em 1984. Para comparação dos resultados foram analisados os padrões de plantio de cada rua e de cada parcela. As alterações completas de padrão de plantio ocorreram em três parcelas (Bacacheri 03, Boqueirão e Centro) sendo mantida a mesma composição para as demais. A análise comparativa entre os padrões de plantio e a espécie mais frequentemente plantada em cada parcela demonstrou que apenas para sete parcelas foi constatado mais que 50% das ruas com ocorrência de espécie padrão da amostra correspondente à mais frequente, tanto em 1984 quanto em 2010. Dentre as principais espécies introduzidas como padrão de plantio destacou-se Handroanthus chrysotrichus como a opção mais usual para estabelecimento de novos padrões de plantio entre 1984 e 2010. A análise da similaridade de espécies demonstrou que a composição de espécies das parcelas manteve-se igual (p<0,01), exceto para as parcelas Bacacheri 03 e Boqueirão onde foi constatada dissimilaridade de composição. Concluiu-se que por meio da definição dos padrões de plantio na arborização de ruas de Curitiba foi possível conhecer as tendências de plantio adotadas pela prefeitura municipal e que para o contexto geral amostrado não houve mudança no padrão de plantio entre os anos de 1984 e 2010.

Bobrowski Master Plans for urban afforestation in Brazilian cities (2011) maintains that public governments have several and utility network companies, in general, have provided technical measures to provide life quality and orientations about procedures concerning tree planting environmental conservation, namely the planning and standards (RGE, 2000; COELBA, 2002; CAMPO implementation of urban afforestation.

For Castro (2010), uniformity should be kept within For the macro-planning of a city, tree planting on blocks or even the same street or avenue using one or sidewalks plays an important role to enrich landscaping, even two species. For Campo Grande (2010), the tree- once it acts as a spatial structural axis (guide and planting pattern adopted for road afforestation should be identifier), as a homogenization factor and urban forestry maintained in replanting activities. However, this integration, creating patches in the urban environment depends on the successes and mistakes observed in the compatible to the road system (BUSARELLO, 1990; review of the City Master Plan and maintenance MILANO, 1991). procedures adopted. Araújo (2008) states that maintenance of aesthetic On the other hand, the Urban Forest Commission (2011) standards in an urban environment, concerning urban does not recommend the use of one or two species on a forestry, has broad interests once it relates to life quality street or square, because this procedure significantly and population welfare. Thus, urban forestry should be increases risks of pest and disease attacks and hampering planned and preserved by governments, which hold the road afforestation. The commission recommends that one responsibility to regulate tree planting to ensure a balance single species should not exceed 35% of the tree between the altered environment and built areas population of a street side or a block and no more than (SANTOS, 2001). five individuals should be planted in sequence. However, The use of standardized urban afforestation confers to the planning and implementing of this procedure requires cities peculiar characteristics that allow the city’s caution and prudence, because enhanced species diversity recognition, as well as its avenues and streets (DANTAS; should be attained (COELBA, 2002; BIONDI; LEAL, SOUZA, 2004).

After defining and only in 1967, there was the first real concern with the the tree-planting pattern per street, we carried out the introduction of native tree species (BIONDI; ALTHAUS, tree-planting definition for each plot, such as the adoption 2005) such as Handroanthus chrysotrichus (ipê-amarelo- of species with most occurrence used as tree-planting miúdo), Handroanthus albus (ipê-amarelo-graúdo), pattern for the street, i.e., the species that was repeated as Handroanthus heptaphyllus (ipê-roxo), Tibouchina tree-planting pattern on the streets studied. Therefore, we sellowiana (quaresmeira) and Poincianella pluviosa performed a comparison analysis of pattern changes in (sibipiruna). Until then, urban forest in Curitiba consisted tree planting between 1984 and 2010 as an indicative of essentially of species such as Acer negundo (acer), trends for the introduction of species adopted by the City Ligustrum lucidum (alfeneiro), Melia azedarach Hall of Curitiba.

Based on the results analysis, we calculated the Jaccard The Jaccard coefficient is a beta diversity index used to coefficient (REAL; VARGAS, 1996; RODE et al., 2009) study species coexistence or similarity between sample to test similarity between species composition for pairs of units (REAL; VARGAS, 1996), being a correlation plots in each year of study. The similarity significance measure ranging from 0 to 1 (RODE et al., 2009). was observed at 1% probability, in accordance to Real According to Real and Vargas (1996), the Jaccard (1999). coefficient may be described in the formula:
