Análise da arborização do trecho revitalizado da avenida dos Holandeses, nos municípios de São Luís e São José de Ribamar - MA

Abstract

The planning of afforestation in the central median of avenues is of paramount importance, especially when it comes to a road with a large flow of vehicles. Given this context, the present work aimed to carry out a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the afforestation of the central median on Avenida dos Holandeses, starting at Araçagy and ending at the Caolho intersection. The floristic data collection was carried out from May to June 2023, considering all individuals planted in the central bed and roundabout in a 7,6 km route in the revitalized extension. With the help of a field form, it was possible to fill in all the relevant data for each individual. A total of 181 individuals were registered, 11 distinct families and 19 species, with a predominance of 72,93% of species of native origin. Regarding the qualitative analysis, it was observed that only two individuals are in conflict with the electrical network, requiring constant safety pruning management to free them from the wiring and that 96% of the individuals are in good phytosanitary conditions. The present work showed that a large part of the median site is devoid of vegetation, in the proportion of one tree every 41,9 m, requiring a more clinical look by the public authorities, so that a replanning of the urban landscaping in this environment is carried out.
