Riqueza e composição arbórea de parques municipais de trindade-go: subsídios para a gestão ambiente

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the urban tree coverage of the municipality of Trindade (GO), focusing on the municipal parks Lara Guimarães and Dona Maria Pires Perillo (Municipal Nursery). Methodology: The research adopted a quali-quantitative approach, based on field surveys and direct observation of tree species, as well as the analysis of seedlings produced and distributed by the Municipal Department of Environment. Results: The results indicated that the Municipal Nursery has a predominance of native species (69%), while Lara Guimarães Park has a higher proportion of exotic species (57%). The most frequently identified species were the Imperial Palm (Roystonea oleracea) (156 individuals) and the Guapuruvu (Schizolobium parahyba) (130 individuals), which stood out in both parks. The Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa), although present, showed a low number, with 13 individuals, indicating low representativeness of this native Cerrado species. Conclusion: It is concluded that the municipality has positive initiatives for the management and production of native seedlings, but it is still necessary to increase the use of species from the Cerrado biome and strengthen environmental education and management actions to ensure more sustainable and suitable urban tree planting for the local conditions.
