Diameter increment and growth patterns for individual tree growing in Central Amazon, Brazil
Information on diameter increment and growth patterns for individual trees are important tools for forest management primarily to: (i) select tree species for logging; (ii) selecting tree species for protection; (iii) estimate cutting cycles and (iv) to prescribe silvicultural treatments.

Information on diameter increment and growth patterns for individual trees are important tools for forest management primarily to: (i) select tree species for logging; (ii) selecting tree species for protection; (iii) estimate cutting cycles and (iv) to prescribe silvicultural treatments. Most growth and yield studies in tropical moist forests have emphasized only the stand level instead of individual trees. This study dealt with the analysis of individual growth patterns for 272 trees distributed over two transects (East-West and North-South) measuring 20 m × 2500 m, which were stratified by plateau, slope and "baixio" (lowland areas near small streams), and tree diameter at breast height (DBH) classes (10 cm ≤ DBH < 30 cm, 30 cm ≤ DBH < 50 cm and DBH ≥ 50 cm). For each tree, a metal "dendrometer" band was fixed to the trunk and growth in circumference was measured with digital calipers. Measurements were carried out for 19 months, from June 1999 to December 2000; for this study, only 12 months of year 2000 were considered.
