Summary The analysis of two sets of Acacia mearnsii De Wild (Black Wattle) samples by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is reported. Set 1 samples were characterised in terms of hot water extractives, Stiasny value and polyflavanoid content. Set 2 samples were characterised by nine different parameters, including tannin content. NIR spectra were obtained from the milled bark of all samples and calibrations developed for each parameter. Calibrations developed for hot water extractives and polyflavanoid content (set 1) gave very good coefficients of determination (R2) and performed well in prediction. Set 2 calibrations were generally good with total and soluble solids, tannin content, Stiasny value-2 and UV-2, all having R2 greater than 0.8. Owing to the small number of set 2 samples, no predictions were made using the calibrations. The strong relationships obtained for many parameters in this study indicates that NIR spectroscopy has considerable potential for the rapid assessment of the quality of extractives in A. mearnsii bark.

The objective of this work was to analyze the efficacy of different methods of dormancy break in seeds of Acacia mearnsii De Wild. The work was performed at the UFSM Botany Lab and Forest Nursery, in Frederico Westphalen, RS. The treatments were: (T1) control; (T2) immersion in hot water (90 °C) for 5 minutes, followed by rest; (T3) immersion in hot water (90 °C) for 10 minutes, followed by rest; (T4) chemical scarification with concentrated sulfuric acid for 3 minutes, followed by washing under running water; (T5) chiseling with concentrated sulfuric acid for 5 minutes, followed by washing under running water. The seeds were sown in plastic trays with Oxisol and vermiculite. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and data were differentiated by Test t with 5% of probability. The most efficient treatment to overcome dormancy was T2, presenting 81.29% of germinated seeds and IVG of 18.23 days for germination. This treatment was also the best for the variables of physical vigor and best performing root length and aerial part, and did not differ from improved treatments for diameter and green mass weight.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of inclusion of condensed tannins (CT) from black wattle (Acacia mearnsii) on feed intake, ruminal protozoa population, ruminal fermentation, and nutrient digestibility in Jersey steers. Five ruminally-cannulated steers were used in a 5 × 5 Latin square design, with five periods of 20 days each (14 days for diet adaptation and six days for sample collection per period). Treatments were composed of dietary inclusion levels of condensed tannins at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g/kg of diet dry matter. Intakes of dry matter, organic matter, ether extract, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and total digestible nutrients were not affected by condensed tannins. The ruminal pH was reduced linearly with tannin levels. Ruminal ammonia nitrogen concentration was not affected by tannins. Tannins reduced the molar proportion of acetate and did not affect the ruminal protozoal population, which might be related to the low doses used. Digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber were not altered; however, there was a linear reduction in crude protein digestibility. Based on these results, CT extracts from black wattle are not recommended for improving nutrient utilization in steers at the tested levels.

O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar o ponto ótimo de amostragem para a quantificação de nutrientes em árvores de Acacia mearnsii com quatro anos de idade. O trabalho foi realizado em um povoamento de acácia-negra localizado na cidade de Arroio dos Ratos/RS, em uma fazenda pertencente à empresa SETA S/A, nas coordenadas 30°07’12” de latitude sul e 51°57’45” de longitude, com altitude média de 90 m. O primeiro passo foi a realização do inventário florestal no povoamento, onde foram derrubadas 21 árvores, distribuídas em 7 classes diamétricas, sendo determinados a biomassa e o teor de nutrientes dos componentes folha, galho vivo, galho morto, raiz, madeira e casca. Para os componentes madeira e casca, foram retiradas amostras ao longo de fuste nas posições de 1, 3, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 e 90% da altura total das árvores. O ponto ótimo de amostragem para quantificação dos nutrientes (N, P, K, Ca, Mg e S) no fuste deve situar-se a 50% da altura total das árvores de Acacia mearnsii. É possível a estimativa do estoque de macronutrientes por amostras coletadas no DAP aos 4 anos de idade. Recomenda-se para isso a utilização de trado para não ser necessário derrubar as árvores amostradas. Palavras-chave: Acácia-negra; ponto de amostragem; nutriente.   Abstract Sampling point determination for macronutrients quantification on Acacia mearnsii De Wild. The objective of this study was to quantify the biomass and to determine the optimal sampling point for nutrients quantification in four year old Acacia mearnsii trees. It was conducted in black wattle stand, located in Arroio dos Ratos city in a farm belonging to SETA S/A, having as coordinates 30° 07’ 12” of south latitude and 51° 57” 45” of longitude, with 90 m of average altitude. The first step was the forest inventory, where 30 trees were felled, distributed in 7 diametric classes, to cover the stand heterogeneity, then the biomass and the nutrients amount in the leaves, live branches, dead branches, roots, wood and bark were determined. Samples of wood and bark were taken along the stem in the positions of: 1, 3, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% of the total height. The optimal sampling point for nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) quantification along the stem should be 50% from the total height in Acacia mearnsii trees. It’s possible to estimate the stock of macronutrients by samples collected at DBH at 4 years of age. For this it’s recommended to use the borer, for not to be necessary to fell the sampled trees.Keywords: Black wattle; sampling point; nutrient.

The aim of this study was to evaluate fine root biomass density (FRBD) in mixed and monospecific stands of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla and Acacia mearnsii(black wattle) in Bagé-RS (Southern Brazil). An experimental trial was installed with three treatments: 100% Eucalyptus (100E); 100% Acacia mearnsii (100A); 50% Eucalyptus + 50% Acacia mearnsii (50E:50A). The trial was carried using a randomized block design with three replicates. The fine root (≤ 2.0mm) biomass density was determined 8 and 18 months after planting the trees. Soil samples were collected, with a cylindrical extractor auger (d = 7.0 cm), from four depths (0 - 5, 5 - 10, 10 - 20 and 20 - 30 cm) at each sampling point. After 8 months, the FRBD distribution was the same in both species and in all soil layers, reaching the maximum projection at 125 cm from the tree trunk. After 18 months, the root biomass density was higher in the monospecific black wattle stand than in the monospecific eucalyptus stand and the mixed stand. The fine root biomass density was highest in the 5 - 10 cm layer close to the trunk, for the planting row spacing, the planting line and the diagonals between two planting lines. Knowledge about fine root growth and distribution in soil at initial stages of stand development may help in decision-making for intensive forestry, thus ensuring more efficient use of soil resources.
