TL;DR: It is observed that the natural regeneration of native forest species originating from remnant forests in the general vicinity of the study sites was significantly greater within the direct-seeded plots than in unplanted control plots that were protected from fire and other disturbances.

TL;DR: Results in terms of using galactomannans and arabinans in chemotyping, support the suggestion of Rizzini that S. parahybae and S. amazonicum are not different species.

TL;DR: Evaluating the effect on the plant growth and plant survival of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with three N-fixing bacteria strains suggested that some microbial combinations were effective in stimulating plant growth, but further experiments need to be carried out to evaluate which N- fixing bacteria and AM fungi is more effective for each planting systems for S. amazonicum.

TL;DR: Six-yrs old Schizolobium-based plantations and ~25-yr old regrowth forests showed comparable rates of litter + fine root production, suggesting that young forest plantations may be an interesting alternative to restore degraded areas due to early reestablishment of organic matter cycling under the studied conditions.
Abstract: Forest plantations and agroforestry systems with Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum have greatly expanded in the Brazilian Amazon, generally as an alternative for reforesting degraded areas. To our knowledge there are no reports of above- and below- ground production in these forest systems. We quantified litter and fine root production in 6-yr old Schizolobium-based plantation forests (monospecific: MON, mixture: MIX, and agroforestry system: AFS) and in ~25-yr old regrowth forest (REG) over 8- 12 months. We used litter traps and ingrowth cores to quantify litter and fine root production, respectively. Annual litter production was significantly lower in Schizolobium-based plantations (mean ± standard error, MON=5.92±0.15, MIX=6.08±0.13, AFS= 6.63±0.13 Mg ha −1 year −1 ) than in regrowth forest (8.64±0.08 Mg ha −1 year −1 ). Schizolobium-based plantations showed significantly higher litter stock (MON=7.7±1.0, MIX=7.4±0.1 Mg ha −1 ) than REG (5.9±1.3 Mg ha −1 ). Total fine root production over an 8-month period was significantly higher in Schizo- lobium-based plantations (MON=3.8±0.2, MIX=3.4± 0.2, AFS=2.7±0.1 Mg ha −1 ) than in REG (1.1± 0.03 Mg ha −1 ). Six-yr old Schizolobium-based planta- tions and ~25-yr old regrowth forests showed compa- rable rates of litter + fine root production, suggesting that young forest plantations may be an interesting alternative to restore degraded areas due to early reestablishment of organic matter cycling under the studied conditions.

TL;DR: Its presence in the endosperm after germination demonstrated that it is not a reserve material as described for seeds of other species, and was found to be dominant reserve material in higher plants.
