“…Coarse-scale, episodic disturbances of riparian forests, such as harvesting (Chen et al, 2005), large floods (Acker et al, 2003), fire (Hedman et al, 1996), ice storms (Kraft et al, 2002) and insect outbreaks, are the major contributors of LWD into streams. Following stand-replacing disturbances, the contribution of LWD will vary with stand development processes.…”

“…Broadleaved stands are more complex than conifer plantations, as tree diameter within broadleaves has higher variability (expressed by the coefficient of variation) ( Table 2). Standard deviation has been used more often to measure the stand complexity (Acker et al, 2003), but the coefficient of variation is a better measure when there are great differences between means (Fowler et al, 1998).…”

“…However, vegetation that becomes near the new margins created by dams are located on hillsides (Truffer et al 2003;Vale et al 2013), without species associated with high water saturation, in other words, with different species composition (Acker et al 2003) and with different traits compared to typical riparian vegetation. Terrain with steep slopes facilitates water flow and reduces water infiltration into the soil (Sidle et al 2006).…”

Background: Plants in a seasonal environment that become close to the artificial lake after dams construction may have enhanced growth or die due to the new conditions. Changes in mortality or growth rates lead to changes in community diversity, and we do not know if the community functions will change; our main hypothesis was that a few years after impoundment, species richness and diversity will increase because the increased supply of water would favor the establishment of water-associated species. Therefore, we evaluated the consequences of proximity of three dry seasonal forests to the water table after damming, with a dynamic evaluation of the species studied to understand changes in diversity in these areas. We sampled 60 plots of 20×10 m in each forest and measured all trees with a diameter equal to or greater than 4.77 cm before damming and 2 and 4 years after damming. We calculated dynamic rates and compared species changes during these periods. We also compared diversity and richness using Shannon index and rarefaction curves.
