Industrial Crop: Hydrocarbon  Management: Standard  Regional Crop

Climate: tropical. Humidity: semi-arid to humid. A plant of the 'Caatinga' dry forest region of northeast Brazil. The climate is hot and dry, there are usually 6 to 11 months without rain each year. The mean annual rainfall varies from 250 - 1,000mm, and the mean annual temperature is from 24 - 26°c. Requires a sunny position to be at its best[419 ]. Grows best in a sandy soil, often growing in quite poor soils in the wild[335 , 419 ]. Established plants are drought tolerant[419 ]. Young plants grow slowly and are difficult to cultivate[416 ]. A very variable plant, a number of varieties have been described[416 ]. Plants grow slowly. Carbon Farming - Cultivation: regional crop. Management: standard.

Carbon Farming

• Industrial Crop: Hydrocarbon  Materials, chemicals and energy include bioplastics, rubber, biomass products gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, butane, propane, biogas. Plants are usually resprouting plants and saps.
• Management: Standard  Plants grow to their standard height. Harvest fruit, seeds, or other products. Non-Destructive management systems.
• Regional Crop  These crops have been domesticated and cultivated regionally but have not been adopted elsewhere and are typically not traded globally, Examples in this broad category include perennial cottons and many nuts and staple fruits.
