Resumo
O crescimento e a capacidade de sequestro de carbono (C) de árvores nativas dependem de fatores ambientais e características intrínsecas de cada espécie. Em ambientes urbanos, há uma lacuna no entendimento comparativo do potencial de crescimento e de sequestro de C entre espécies arbóreas pioneiras e não pioneiras. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o crescimento e acúmulo de C na biomassa aérea de espécies arbóreas pioneiras e não pioneiras na arborização urbana. A partir de dados de inventário florestal, os incrementos médios anuais em diâmetro (AAIDBH), altura total (AAIH) e C (AAIC) foram calculados e comparados entre grupos ecológicos e espécies da arborização do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo. O grupo das pioneiras apresentou maiores AAIDBH e AAIC, mas não houve diferença significativa entre grupos para AAIH. Entre espécies, AAIDBH, AAIH e AAIC variaram consideravelmente, sendo que as pioneiras Cenostigma pluviosum, Enterolobium contortisiliquum e Schizolobium parahyba demonstraram grande potencial em estocar C na biomassa acima do solo. Dada a variação interespecífica, é preciso considerar características intrínsecas na seleção de espécies para maximizar o sequestro de C em ambientes urbanos. Os resultados deste estudo destacam a influência do grupo ecológico e das características individuais das espécies no sequestro de C e podem orientar estratégias de plantio e manejo da arborização urbana visando a mitigação de emissões de gases de efeito estufa.
