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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
