Attributes of forest restoration assessed across ecological indicators in a semidecidal seasonal forest
Abstract
By monitoring and evaluating areas in the process of restoration, it is possible to monitor the evolution of the ecosystem as a whole and even make decisions in these areas. The objective of this work was to evaluate the attributes of the species composition, structure and functionality of the forest restoration process in a semideciduous seasonal Forest area at 8 years. The data for the arboreal vegetation were evaluated in total area, for soil cover in transects and for natural regeneration in plots. In the floristic survey of the arboreal stratum were recorded 257 individuals distributed in 19 species, being the Fabaceae family the one that presented the greatest richness of species; being Trema micranta the arboreal species with the highest value of basal area and of absolute density. The predominant ecological group was that of pioneer species with predominance of zoocoric dispersion. In the evaluation of the floristic composition of the natural regeneration, 54 individuals were found distributed in 19 genera and 13 families. The Shannon index (H ') found for the tree species was 2,375 and for the species of the regenerating stratum it was 2,584. In the soil cover the percentage of litter predominated. The attributes of the species composition, structure and functionality of the forest restoration process of this seasonal semideciduous forest, through the use of ecological indicators, suggest the efficiency of the restored area.
