| description | The basic density of wood from 59 tree species was determined in order to estimate the weight of woody biomass from the volume of wood measured in forest inventories. Published information about wood properties of some of these species is scarce. The 59 species considered belong to the families Anacardiaceae, Burseraceae, Meliaceae, Rutaceae, Sapindaceae and Simaroubaceae, all of which are included in the order Sapindales. The basic density was determined in samples obtained in forest inventories performed in the last two decades in various regions of Brazil. Most of the species analyzed (68%) had light or semi-heavy wood (basic density between 0,51 and 0,80), although the density varied widely between species, ranging from 0,38 for Simarouba amara to 1,25 for Schinopsis lorentzii. A literature search revealed data on the basic density of the wood of three quarters of the species under study. According to this data, the wood considered in the present study is 21% more dense than wood from the same species growing in other regions. This study provides new information on wood of tree species about which very little was previously known. The analyzed Brazilian tree species in the order Sapindales were found to be important because of the high basic density of their wood. These trees thus contribute efficiently to biomass accumulation and to the corresponding carbon fixation. |

Para estimar la biomasa leñosa a partir de las existencias maderables en volumen obtenidas en inventarios forestales, se determinó la densidad básica de la madera en 59 especies arbóreas, para algunas de las cuales escasea la información publicada sobre las características de su madera. Se trata de especies pertenecientes a las familias Anacardiaceae, Burseraceae, Meliaceae, Rutaceae, Sapindaceae y Simaroubaceae, todas ellas incluidas en el orden Sapindales. La densidad básica se obtuvo a partir de muestras procedentes de inventarios forestales realizados en las dos últimas décadas en diversas regiones del Brasil. Se comprobó que la mayor parte de las especies analizadas (68%) presentan maderas livianas o semipesadas (densidad básica entre 0,51 g/cm3 y 0,80 g/cm3) aunque la densidad se mostró muy variable entre especies, desde 0,38 g/cm3 para Simarouba amara hasta 1,25 g/cm3 para Schinopsis lorentzii. Se encontró información bibliográfica sobre densidad básica de la madera para tres cuartas partes de las especies objeto de estudio, resultando que según referencias bibliográficas la madera analizada en este trabajo es 21% más densa que la procedente de las mismas especies en otras regiones. Este trabajo aporta información sobre especies de maderas poco conocidas hasta el momento. Así mismo, las especies arbóreas del orden Sapindales procedentes de Brasil y que fueron analizadas en este trabajo, destacan por la alta densidad básica de su madera, por lo que contribuyen de forma especialmente eficaz a la acumulación de biomasa y a la correspondiente fijación de carbono.
