Editorial
Dear friends,
Good morning, my dear Eucalyptus friends. Here we
are again, with the 13th issue of our Eucalyptus Newsletter. In this
edition, we are
again bringing a lot of information and knowledge about these wonderful
trees and their utilization. I hope you enjoy them.
In the section "The
Friends of the Eucalyptus", we are telling
to you the professional life, scientific production, and career of
one of the major icons of the Silviculture and Pulp and Paper Science
in Brazil, our dear friend Dr. Luiz Ernesto George Barrichelo. I know
professor Barrichelo since my times of agronomy student at ESALQ/USP,
when I worked under his advising and tutorship. As a consequence, to
tell you about professor Barrichelo and his achievements is a source
of happiness to me. I know him very well, and I have a great admiration
for his talent, dedication and faith in what he believes. I'm very
proud and happy to have had the chance to introduce him to you in this
issue of the Eucalyptus Newsletter.
In this issue of our newsletter,
we are bringing something new. Thanks to my dear friends from Appita,
the Technical Association of the Australia
and New Zealand Pulp and Paper Industry, it was made possible to create
this section. In it, we are to receive fresh news about the Eucalyptus,
straight from their homelands. That is the reason the section has been
named "News from the Eucalyptus Homelands". Our most sincere
thanks to Appita, helping in the diffusion of the knowledge about the
Eucalyptus.
In
this issue, we are also bringing to you the seventh chapter of our
Eucalyptus Online Book. The title
of this chapter, in
its English version,
is: "ECO-EFFICIENT
MANAGEMENT OF WOODY FOREST RESIDUES FROM THE EUCALYPTUS PLANTATION
FORESTRY".
In the Ester Foelkel's section
about "Curiosities and Oddities
about the Eucalyptus" she is telling us about the wonder of the
Eucalyptus trees and forests inspiring many artists to create art masterpieces
based on the emotions of interacting with them.
The mini-article in
this edition deals with "The Eucalyptus and the Eco-labels". This is a source of enormous opportunities to
the forest products using the Eucalyptus, no matter if pulp, paper,
essential oils, furniture, etc. The Brazilian forest sector is already
very active in the FSC and CERFLOR forest certification schemes. These
certifications help to guarantee that the forest operations are based
on environmentally and socially sound techniques and cares. They may
also guarantee the chain of custody of the forest products (traceability
of the wood source as being produced in certified forests). However,
there are also other opportunities, as the type I green labels, to
bring extra strengths to the image and performance of the industrial
segment based on the Eucalyptus.
As we are used to do, in this newsletter
issue, we are bringing a lot of interesting subjects about the Eucalyptus.
The purpose is to offer
knowledge in a way that you may learn more, and to enjoy doing such.
For this, we are forcing you, in some extent, to navigate the web
to grab as much on good information as possible. We also offer good
articles,
and recommendations of books and interesting events.

Floram Project. (Brazil)
During late 1980's, in Brazil, a selected group of renowned experts
and thinkers was created with the mission to propose strategies
to the phenomenon's of carbon sinking and greenhouse effect mitigation.
The results of this reflection was the proposal of a mega-project
for afforestation in Brazil, with an estimated area of 20 million
hectares of plantations. The Floram project, as it was named, had
as objectives to show the environmental, social and economic advantages
of such activity to the country. The archives of all main papers
that have been issued by these experts are made available to all,
thanks to the Advanced Studies Institute, University of Sao Paulo.
The files may be read both in English or Portuguese. There are
no doubts that this topic is still very actual and important. For
these reasons, we recommend a visit to the following addresses
to know more about the findings and suggestions of the Floram project.

In the past edition of our Eucalyptus Newsletter,
the main issue we have discoursed was about the Eucalyptus parts
being used as raw materials for art craft around the world. Now,
we are going to talk about the beauty of these trees, their morphological
forms and parts, such as flowers, leaves, fruits, branches and twigs
or even on their aggregations as forests. The marvelous trees and
their impact on emotions are in such level that they may even be
source of artistic inspiration to many people. Paints, illustrations,
artistic photos, rugs, jewelry and even water fonts can have Eucalyptus images and forms.
Differently
from the art craft, in which the artisans make products using the
parts of the Eucalyptus trees, many artists
like to represent
this gorgeous and charming tree as the Eucalyptus is, interacting
with the environment. The great variety of Eucalyptus species contributes
to distinguish colors, architectures, shapes and textures that can
even make this inspiration stronger and more pronounced.
Besides
that, in the nature, these trees can show many light contrasts
as the wind shakes the leaves and the sunshine hits them. This
fact
may create interesting images and landscapes which have been registered
in many paintings, illustrations and photos for the eternity.
One
of the most common paintings and drawings of the Eucalyptus and its
morphological parts are the botanical illustrations. Many artists
use water color and pastel techniques to illustrate detailed botanic
characteristics of the Eucalyptus species and their parts. They paint
in detail flowers, leaves, fruits and other tree parts. But there
is another group of artists who are used to paint in oil and to put
the emotion and feelings in the landscape that they see. In many
of these cases, the Eucalyptus that is observed in the view inspires
them.
The same way as it occurs with the art craft, many
artworks that were inspired by the Eucalyptus can be found in its
origin country:
mostly in Australia. However, since these trees are spreading over
the world, they are inspiring people's art in many parts of the planet.
Next, some of the famous Australian artists who
create botanical illustrations and drawings from the Eucalyptus species
are briefly
introduced to you:
Beverley
Graham: She expresses in
her designs the Australian flora, including the Eucalyptus, using
watercolor
technique and graphic
design. Member of the Botanical Illustrators Group of the Friends
of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Berveley has part of her artwork exhibited
in the Australian National Gallery and in RMIT University in Melbourne,
Australia. Some copies of her illustrations were also included in
Australian post cards and in mail stamp collections. This artist
loves her country native plants and hopes her artwork can bring concern
to people for conserving such an unique flora. Perhaps that’s
why we may find innumerous of her art pieces available in many web
pages.

New
Section:
News from the Eucalyptus Homelands
(a cooperation from Appita / Australia - http://www.appita.com.au)
Starting in this Eucalyptus Newsletter
number, we are bringing a new section to you. It consists in
a special cooperation
from our dear Appita friends (Appita - The Technical Association
of the Australian and New Zealand Pulp and Paper Industry -http://www.appita.com.au).
We are receiving the usual support from our dear friends Ralph
Coghill, Roberto Miotti, and many other Appita members. I have
also the privilege to be an Apitta member, taking the chance
to enjoy the excellent services this association provides to
members. My most sincere thanks to them for allowing us the
chance to know more about the Eucalyptus in their homelands.
In
this edition: Albany resources (Western
Australia) pay off for forward thinking
By
David Wettenhall (Appita member, davidw@plantall.com.au )
Under circumstances of very strong international demand for
high quality Eucalyptus wood fiber, the blue gum (Eucalyptus
globulus) plantation resource around Albany is maturing at
a very fortunate time.
The
plantation industry around Albany, Western Australia, was
initiated in the late 1980’s with
a view to establishing more trees in the landscape for environmental
benefits especially
to combat rising water tables and burgeoning salinization of
soils and waterways. It was recognized by the far sighted foresters
that need for trees was so extensive that governments could
not meet the costs. It was essential to establish profitable
tree crops using private investment in order to achieve the
environmental benefits. Early plantings were of radiata pine
(Pinus radiata), but the short rotation blue gum soon proved
more attractive to investors because of the shorter crop cycle
to grow pulpwood.
The
government agency CALM (Conservation and Land Management)
developed the technical knowledge and established
early blue
gum plantations in partnership with Japanese paper companies
and trading houses. Managed Investment Schemes soon recognized
the potential and by the mid-1990’s there were a number
of schemes active in the Albany hinterland.
Managed Investment
Schemes have proved to be a very effective conduit for urban
and mining wealth to be invested in forestry
projects in accordance with government policy and partially
relieving governments from their traditional forest products
supply role. The schemes are sensitive to changes in government
policy and subject to competition from alternative investment
vehicles such as superannuation. This causes significant
variation in the areas planted each year. The total area planted
in the
Albany supply zone exceeds 150,000 hectares.
The
first shipment of woodchips departed Albany in March, 2002
on the ‘MS
Oji Universe’ bound for Abaratsu, Japan.
There are now four vendors of woodchips operating from Albany
representing the major plantation managers in the region. Exports
for 2007 totaled 1.4 Million green tonnes and this is expected
to rise to 2 to 3 M green tonnes annually in the next few years.
All vendors report strong demand. There have been numerous
enquiries from potential purchasers but the vendors are inclined
to maintain the good relations with current markets given
that they are taking all available wood. The export price has
defiantly
moved upwards every year since 2002 in the face of increasing
shipping costs and strengthening Australian currency.
The plantation
managers utilize a range of plantation harvesting systems
including log harvesting and haulage to a woodchip
mill from where chips are railed 25 km to the port. Other
managers prefer to chip in-field and deliver woodchips directly
to the
port where they are screened. Some managers are using the
capacity of blue gum to sprout from stumps to regenerate a
second crop.
Others are removing the first rotation stumps and planting
genetically advanced seedlings on the site.
There have been
few issues with blue gum forestry in the region. Application
of agricultural pesticides causes community concern,
land prices have escalated strongly, transport infrastructure
requires upgrading to cope with expanded activity and some
small communities have declined as populations move to regional
centers. However, it is generally recognized that plantation
forestry is well managed and regulated and only partially
the cause of the adverse social impacts. The economic activity
generated by plantation management, harvesting, transport
and
exports coinciding with unprecedented boom in the mining
sector in Western Australia is stretching available labor and
accommodation
supplies in the region.
To cap it all off, government studies
have established that the plantations have arrested the salinization
of waterways
which will soon return to drinking water standard. The visionary
foresters who dared to think plantations could achieve all
this and create the economic and social benefits deserve
our thanks, praise and respect.
The
Friends of the Eucalyptus
Dr.
Luiz Ernesto George Barrichelo
Dr. Luiz Ernesto George Barrichelo
is one of the major icons in the Brazilian forestry and pulp
and paper science
and technology segments. I have the privilege to have had him as
my professor, adviser, colleague at work, and today, a dedicated
and fraternal friend. Barrichelo has always been an enthusiastic
chemist, something that was a great complement to his career as
an agronomist, with expertise in forestry. His love for chemistry
was so great, that during his time of student at ESALQ/USP his
given nickname was Berzelius, one of the chemistry science father.
Barrichelo was able to introduce me to chemistry and to the principles
of this science. Chemistry depends on quality, reliability, accuracy
and precision. When we make mistakes on chemistry, they may be
easily noticed, and sometimes, they are dangerous. For this reason,
we must be attentive, careful, persistent and innovative. All these
virtues Barrichelo has in abundance. As usual, he was good enough
to teach me these features, when I was his student. On top of these,
we should add his dedication, enthusiasm, profession and career
believes, and faith and respect to human beings. Over his guidance
he had tens of agronomy, chemistry and forest engineering students.
With him, they were able to learn the fundamentals of the wood
chemistry and quality, and the technology of the pulp and paper.
Barrichelo was one of the responsible in Brazil to allow the forest
engineers to fill an important room in the pulp and paper industry
and also in the chemical forest products industry (essential oils,
resins, gums, charcoal manufacturing, chemical supplies, etc.)
His success as a professional may be confirmed by his hundreds
of published articles, papers, reports, speeches, book chapters,
hand-outs, standards, etc., etc. We shall also mention his administrative
and managerial virtues. Thanks to them, he could reach important
positions at E.S.A."Luiz de Queiroz"/USP, such as: mayor
of the ESALQ campus; head of the Forest Sciences Department; executive,
scientific and administrative director of the IPEF - Institute
of Forest Researches and Studies; responsible to the Forestry Experimental
Station of Itatinga from ESALQ. Besides these achievements at his
work, he has also been very active in associations as ABTCP - The
Brazilian Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry,
in which he is a founding member.
Professor Barrichelo was born
in 1941, at the town of Rio das Pedras - SP. He belongs to a
well-known Brazilian family, both in his
homelands or even in the entire country. His devotion to his
family, to his wife Sonia Maria, to his three daughters (Renata,
Viviane
and Marcia) and one son (Luiz Fernando), were key factors to
him to develop a special website to the Barrichello family. Besides
all these, he is also very well related to other people. His
abilities
have guided him to search places where he could exercise human
relations and to work in favor of the society. Thanks to these
orientations, he has been converted to a devoted Rotary Club
member, since 1968. At the Rotary Club he reached important positions
in
the hierarchical chain, and was able to succeed in many social
achievements projects. Another of his recreation is the internet.
It is a passion to him, since the early days of this technology,
during the mid 1980's. His passion to family, friends, and to
the web have directed him to the creation of several websites,
none
of them a technical one. All these websites reflect his care
and respect to people, to his family, to his friends from the university
time and from the Rotary Club, and also to his father Luiz Augusto
Barrichello.
Know more about the Luiz Ernesto's websites, navigating
on them for entertainment:
• the
Barrichello family (http://www.familia.barrichello.nom.br),
• his father Luiz Augusto Barrichello (http://www.luiz.barrichelo.nom.br/Papai/index.htm),
• his own website (http://www.luiz.barrichelo.nom.br)
,
• his friends in the 1966 ESALQ graduation ( http://f66.esalq.nom.br),
• the Rotary Club he is a member ( http://www.rotarycidadealta.org.br),
• the district of the Rotary Club where it is inserted (http://www.rotary4310.org.br).
Dr.
Barrichelo started his studies at the ESALQ/USP (College of Agronomy "Luiz
de Queiroz" -
University of Sao Paulo) in 1962. His aim was to become an agronomist,
a promising
career in Brazil at that time. Exactly in that same year, the Department
of Silviculture was created at ESALQ, under the leadership of Professor
Helladio do Amaral Mello. In 1966, Barrichelo got his graduation
in Agronomy, and in 1967 he was hired by ESALQ as assistant professor.
Under his responsibility he had the courses about wood chemistry
and pulp and paper technology. There, he had the guidance and the
opportunity to work with Dr. Ronaldo Algodoal Guedes Pereira, another
great name of the Brazilian forestry sector. Dr. Ronaldo was surely
one of the major responsible to introduce in Brazil the science
of pulp and paper, first to the agronomists, and later to the forest
engineering students. Luiz Ernesto was first a trainee and soon
an efficient co-worker under the advising of Dr. Ronaldo. His objectives
were to combine his love to chemistry with the chemical and practical
application of wood, converting the chips to pulp and paper. His
dreams to be well-succeed in chemistry were becoming real. Chemistry
and Forestry could complement and complete each other. From that
time onwards, Barrichelo's career took its course with a lot of
innovation, creativeness, hard-working, and a stupend scientific
production.
Everything
was happening in Brazil along those "golden
years" in
the 1960's and 1970's. A Federal Government program to incentive
the plantation of forests was created, and some few years later,
another program was launched to promote the development of the
pulp and paper industry. It was absolutely natural that the forestry
segment and career would grow concomitantly. In 1967, the ABTCP
(Brazilian Technical Association of Pulp and Paper) was born.
In 1968, the new born was IPEF - Institute of Forest Researches
and
Studies. To both, Barrichelo's participation was vital, to their
foundations and to their developments and trajectories. Since
the forestry and market pulp segments had had the decision to
grow
more in Eucalyptus, Barrichelo's studies were directed to discover
the secrets of these new raw materials, their woods and their
short hardwood fibers. Dr. Barrichelo had fundamental role in
defining
Eucalyptus species and provenances for kraft pulping, the required
wood quality, the paper potential of the Eucalyptus fibers, the
integration between forestry and wood industrial conversion areas,
and also in the development of new chemical standards to this
just fast-growing industry in Brazil.
Along
his career as an ESALQ professor, he advised over 50 students
(graduate and undergraduate). He has over 200 published scientific
papers, reports and articles in renowned magazines. Also, an
enormous number of speeches in scientific and technical conferences
and
meetings. Besides all this, he has also some books and book
chapters
written, a fantastic academic production. As a professor for
over 30 years, he had a fast growing career, reaching the position
of
USP Office Holder Professor in 1987. This is the maximum position
a professor may reach at this university.
After
retiring as an USP professor, he continues very active as an
invited professor
at the same university, advising graduate
students at the Department of Forest Sciences in Piracicaba.
He
is also the IPEF executive director, what means that he is
definitively still very dynamic and still tied to the same
sector he always
helped to grow. The conclusion is that the family, the work,
the forestry science, the human relations, and the people
education are part of his life, they are vital things to him,
impossible
to live without.
Barrichelo
had several very important and desired awards in his career,
some uniques to most of the researchers
working
in his
field in Brazil. The most important were:
• "Moinho
Santista" Award, in 1994, for his relevant research works
with the utilization of the Eucalyptus as raw material to the
Brazilian pulp and paper industry;

Following, for your navigation, we will include links to a series of articles
written by Dr. Barrichelo along his career. It would be an audacious intention
to bring to this Eucalyptus Newsletter all Dr. Barrichelo's academic and
scientific production. We were able to recover in the web a small fraction
of Dr. Barrichelo's technical production. The other papers were published
in a time where the digital world was still incipient, and virtual publications
were not common or inexistent. Fortunately, IPEF decided to bring to the
digital format the majority of its publications. Because of this fact,
a great number of Dr. Barrichelo's publications could be rescued. About
50 articles and other type of publications from Barrichelo are then brought
to you. Barrichelo has been a regular writer in magazines as: Silvicultura
(SBS - Brazilian Society of Silviculture - http://www.sbs.org.br ),
O Papel (ABTCP Journal -http://www.abtcp.org.br),
Silvicultura em Sao Paulo, Embrapa Florestas Forest Research Bulletin (http://www.cnpf.embrapa.br),
Brasil Florestal magazine. He has also been a frequent author in the
Brazilian Forestry Congresses and in the ABTCP Annual Congresses. In case you
reader, may become interested in some of Dr. Barrichelo's papers (when reading
his curriculum) and that are not included in this newsletter for downloading,
please get in touch with Dr. Barrichelo or to the organization responsible
to the publication, either SBS, ABTCP, Embrapa Florestas, etc. I'm sure that
you will get a reprint as a courtesy in a due time.
In
his career, Dr. Barrichelo had several frequent co-workers, a
great number of scientists and technical people who have worked
with him in developing science and technology. Some were his
former students, other are ESALQ colleagues, IPEF professionals,
researchers from the IPEF company members, etc. I had the honor
to be one of them.
Some
of his most usual co-authors and co-workers in Dr. Barrichelo's
papers and publications are:

During
our search to rescue the papers written by Luiz Ernesto to bring
them to you through this Eucalyptus Newsletter, we had a very
interesting surprise. We discovered that Barrichelo is not only
an Eucalyptus' friend, but a Pinus, too. There
is an enormous number of papers written by Barrichelo about species
of Pinus,
including his free-docency thesis discoursing on the kraft pulp
production using Pinus caribaea wood. This fact is due
to the leadership Barrichelo had from mid 1970's to mid 1980's
in an
ESALQ research project. He was responsible to the Tropical Pines
Project, a research project that had the aim to promote the growth
in the area of pine plantations in Brazil, at that time very
restricted to the Southern states of the country. The study also
had the objective to find suitable alternatives to the Araucaria
angustifolia wood, at that time starting to become endangered
and scarce. Soon, the Araucaria reached the stage of protected
forest species, being no longer allowed to be used as raw material
to the industry. For this reason, so intense was his production
about Pinus, that we decide to create a special section
in our number 03 PinusLetter (http://www.celso-foelkel.com.br/pinusletter.html).
to bring all these articles to you in the right newsletter.
Visit the PinusLetter website to know this collection. The papers
are equally precious.
In
order to facilitate the search and location of the publications,
we decided to divide the files in seven main groups: theses;
books; interviews; wood anatomy, chemistry and quality; pulp
and paper technology; biomass and energy; R&D management.
Please, remember that more than 20 Dr. Barrichelo's articles
about Pinus, their woods and pulps, are to be introduced
to you in the number 03 issue of our PinusLetter.
My dear friend Luiz Ernesto Barrichelo, for all
your career, for the charismatic and unique person you are, for
everything you have done, are doing and will do for the Eucalyptus,
for the Pinus and to the Brazilian forestry and forest-based industry,
we all want to thank you very much. These acknowledgements reflect
the will of all your former students, your friends, your admirers,
and all the Brazilian forest community. Thanks for you dedication
and work to us.
Know
more about Dr. Barrichelo's talent reading some of his theses,
articles, books, and papers. Among them, please find a fantastic
book recently edited by Duratex S/A about the Eucalyptus, in
which he was co-author. Most of his publications are written
in Portuguese, but they have a summary in English. Precious works,
have a look.
