ABSTRACT
The knowledgement about the nutritional status of the urban trees has a great importance for the evaluation and adoption of management practices. This work has the objective to investigate the foliar chemical composition of Tabebuia chrysotricha (Mart) Standl in an urban environment. The analyses of the trees were performed under different pollution and soil impermeability levels of the plantation sites. Through the chemical analysis was possible to observe that the P and Zn nutrients differentiate superior trees from inferior categories, while Cu and Zn nutrients, differentiate the place where the trees are planted.
Key words:
urban trees; Tabebuia chrysotricha; ipê -amarelo
