Aspectos quali-quantitativos da arborização urbana da Área Norte do campus da UFSCar, São Carlos (SP)
Abstract
The urban trees plays an important role in providing a wide range of economic,
ecological and social benefits. This study was carried out to analyze the urban trees of
the North area of the Federal University of São Carlos campus by performing a tree
inventory to assist in planning and management of this. The survey was conducted
based on the General UFSCar Map - Campus San Carlo (2013), which used a random
sampling for the individual analysis of each individual component of urban trees. The
survey consisted information as the name of the species, origin, conflicts, physical
damage, size, planting, phytosanity, integrity and functionality. As a result, we found
4193 individuals composing the afforestation of North campus area, where they were
identified to species level in 2548 individuals, the community consists of 130 species
belonging to 107 genera and 46 families, among species, 52 were as local native, native
13 from other regions of Brazil and 65 exotic to Brazil. For technical analysis were
sampled 1422 individuals. 18.9% of individuals were found presenting conflicts with
urban infrastructure and 53.7% with physical injury by pruning. The urban trees is
mostly with good physical integrity, with low numbers of risks and fitossanidades. The
mapping was an issue for space indication of individuals enabling an analysis of its
composition and distribution. Also reveals the need for planning for better conflict
management and management of trees, which can be started with the information
generated in this work.
