Abstract
Morphometric analysis of trees can help in the selection of the most suitable species in urban areas, by allowing us to understand the dynamics of tree growth forms. The objective was to develop a morphometric index for trees located in green areas of Curitiba, Paraná. 122 trees of the five species with the highest number of records of fall and removal in Curitiba were selected: Tipuana tipu, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Erythrina falcata, Melia azedarach and Ligustrum lucidum, in the Passeio Público Municipal of Curitiba and in nine squares located in the Centro district. From the biometric data obtained in the field, the Integrated Morphometric Index (IMI) was calculated through multivariate factorial analysis performed in the statistical software IBM SPSS® Statistics. There was low variability between interdimensional sizes, indicating a pattern of growth among species, especially for T. tipu. On the other hand, J. mimosifolia, E. falcata and M. azedarach present greater variability of the morphometric data, with trees of size considerably higher than the average of the others, while L. lucidum was the species with the smallest interdimensional size. The biometric variables total height, crown height, north crown radius, east crown radius and DBH were the most correlated with the tree growth pattern, explaining 57.9% of the data variation. The generated IMI was adequate to evaluate the behavior of the variables, as it explained 72% of the data variation. The T. tipu trees showed the lowest variability between their interdimensional sizes, thus indicating a more evident growth pattern for this species.

期刊介绍:
Revista Floresta admits articles of scientific contribution in Forest Science, in the areas of Nature Conservation, Economy and Forest Policy, Forest Management, Silviculture and Wood Technology. The main task is to promote and divulgate the development of Forest Science in Brazil and in the world. Articles published in Revista Floresta are under total responsibility of the authors, who are aware that they are original studies. It remains implicit that articles were not submitted for publication to any other divulgation media. It remains explicit the agreement of authors to norms of the journal and, along the development of their work, the observance of ethic aspects and respect of the current copyright legislation.
