Abstract

The objective of this work was to carry out a qualitative and quantitative census inventory in Santa Clara neighborhood, Santarém/PA, Brazil, about Ficus sp. Data were collected in relation to its height, DBH, crown diameter, relation with the spinning, recommendation regarding the management, position and health of the root, stem and crown. Fifty-four Ficus individuals were found, most of them (44%) presented medium size with sidewalk outcrops in 83% of the cases. Regarding sanity, 57% of the roots had some level of rot and 43% had no problems. The health of the stem was favorable with 96% of individuals without interference and 4% with rot. In the wiring, 56% were not in contact with the power grid and 44% were present or with potential risk to the wiring. Based on these conditions, the management recommendation indicated that 81% of the cases required pruning, 6% for removal and 13% for individuals who did not require silvicultural treatments. It is concluded that the use of Ficus is not suitable for afforestation near spinning and paved structures, and its gradual replacement is advisable.
