SUMMARY:

The species Tachigali vulgaris L. G. Silva & H. C. (white tachi), is a pioneer, arboreal species, native to the Amazon region and has ecological, silvicultural and technological characteristics that allow the insertion of the species in plantations for energy purposes. Evaluating the anatomical aspects, as well as the influence of planting spacing, radial position and bifurcation of the stem, is important to determine the energetic potential of the species. The objective of this study was to understand how the initial planting spacing, the radial position and the type of stem affect the interspecific and intraspecific anatomical variations of the T. vulgaris wood. Eight-year-old trees were collected from an experimental plantation, located in the District of Monte Dourado, state of Pará. The species was cultivated in different spacing (3 x 1.5 m, 3 x 2 m, 3 x 2.5 m, 3 x 3 m, 3 x 3.5 m and 3x4 m). In the wood, basic density and macroscopic and microscopic analyzes were evaluated, qualitatively and quantitatively. The macroscopic analysis of the wood showed that the species has characteristics that corroborate with other species of the genus Tachigali. The vessel elements did not show significant differences in the different planting spacing. However, in the marrow-shell sense, it was observed that the vessel frequencies decreased and the diameter and length increased with respect to age. The basic density of the wood had no effect on planting spacing. However, the fibers were characterized with thicker walls in the denser spacing. The bifurcation in the wood affected the composition of the cellular elements, presenting waves of variations along the rays. The results demonstrate that the species has potential for bioenergetic purposes, especially thermochemical conversion processes. The species T. vulgaris showed anatomical characteristics similar to other species used commercially for energetic forest plantations.
