- Los carbohidratos son la principal fuente de energía de los árboles urbanos
- Un alto contenido en almidón es importante para hacer frente a las condiciones de estrés del árbol
- La vitalidad del árbol puede estar asociada al contenido en carbohidratos
Resumen
La concentración de carbohidratos, producto de la fotosíntesis, varía de acuerdo con las condiciones ambientales y las etapas fenológicas de los árboles urbanos. Como la distribución de azúcares es controlada por las relaciones fuente-demanda, la reserva de carbohidratos se vuelve una parte fundamental para afrontar las condiciones de estrés. Algunas investigaciones en Inglaterra y Estados Unidos han demostrado que la aplicación de azúcares al suelo mejora la vitalidad del arbolado urbano; sin embargo, se debe considerar el uso de éstos por los microorganismos. Por lo anterior, la inyección de azúcares al tronco se propone como un método alternativo. La vitalidad de los árboles se determina con base en diferentes variables como el crecimiento, la concentración de carbohidratos y la fluorescencia de clorofila. El trabajo integra información que describe la relación de los azúcares con la vitalidad del arbolado urbano.
