The ESECAFLOR/LBA experiment was carried out at the Caxiuanã National Forest, Pará State, and this article intends to investigate the effect of hydrological stress on the total soil respiration. Two adjacent 1 hectare plots were defined in January 2002. One plot remained in its natural conditions and was used as a control (A), while in the exclusion plot (B) plastic cover panels were installed in order to drain about 70% of the total rainfall to outside of the plot. Accumulated monthly rainfall was recorded from 2005 January to December. During 2005 the rainfall over the ECFPn was 2,211.6 mm, or 9.96% above the mean of 2,011.2 mm. The average soil moisture was 15.6±9.2 and 9.5±3.4% in the plots A and B, respectively. The average soil temperature was 25.6±0.4 and 25.7±0.5 ºC, for the A and B plots, respectively. The average soil CO2 flux was 3.46±0.44 and 3.21±0.84 μmolCO2 m-2s-1 in the A and B plots, respectively. With the exclusion of part of rain in plot B, it had a reduction of 7.23% in the soil CO2 flux (0.25 μmolCO2 m-2s-1), 39.1% in the soil humidity (6.1p.p.), and an increase of 0.39% in the soil temperature (0.1ºC). The soil moisture in parcel B was lesser than in the parcel A, due to the exclusion system of rain. However at the beginning of the year, site B undergone some changes causing the measuring values to be about the same on both areas.

Transpiração em espécie de grande porte na Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã, Pará

During the “Long-term of impact drought on water and carbon dioxide fluxes in Amazonian Tropical Rainforest Experiment” (ESECAFLOR), this study was carried out, which is a subproject of Large Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in Amazônia (LBA), located in the Ferreira Penna Scientific Station (FPSS) in the Caxiuanã National Forest (CNF) in Pará State (1o 42’ 30’’ S; 51o 31’45’’ W; 62 m altitude). The region has a well-preserved forest, with canopy of 35 m. The predominate tree species in the landscape are Eschweilera coriacea (White Matá-matá), Voucapoua americana (Acapu) and Protium pallidum (White Pitch). Sap flow measurements were made in the wet season (03-16 December 2000 and 12-25 January 2003), to evidence the effect of long term induced drought, aiming to determinate the transpiration of Eschweilera coriacea. The ESECAFLOR site consists of two different areas with 1 ha each. Plot A (control) and Plot B (rainfall exclusion). The Trunk Heat Balance (THB)method was applied to sap flow measurements, by Sap Flow Meter P4.1 system. Between analysed periods, the mean transpiration of E. Coriacea increased 56% in the tree A237 (control plot) and decreased 68% in B381 (drought plot)
