This book presents reports and recommendations on the cultivation of trees - silviculture - in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, mainly using eucalyptus, a fast-growing exotic species, focusing on practices carried out in the campanha region of the Pampa biome. Practical, operational and ecological aspects of growing eucalyptus in the three main soil conditions that occur widely in the state are covered, including Neossolo, Cambissolo and Argissolo. The main objectives of this work are to recommend planting, management and silvicultural management practices, in a conservationist and environmentally correct manner, in each of these soil conditions, as well as presenting information on the productivity observed in the state's forest plantations.
