The phytosociological structure was studied in an area of semideciduous mesophytic forest lied on the ascent of the Cuesta of Botucatu. Once the relief of the area was very heterogeneous, the forest, for the sampling process, was divided in three sampling regions: the upper one (on the plateau), the middle one (on the ascent properly said) and the lower one (on the plain). Through the point-centered method, 1224 (408 in each region) trees were sampled. For this work, only the trees with shaft equal or higher than 1.30m high were considered. The three sampling regions showed some interesting differences in regard to the phytosociologic structure. Once there are differences among the soil of the three regions, the variations in the structure must be connected to the differences in the soil.

The objective of this work was to analyze the floristic variation and phytosociological structure of weeds as influenced by relief and time of year in eucalyptus plantations in Santana do Paraíso and Guanhães - MG. The total area sampled for each locality was approximately 10 ± 3 hectares, comprising three types of relief: lowland, slope, and upper area. In each type of relief, 10 plots of 1 m² were sampled, corresponding to 30 plots per locality, where they were randomly allocated in a zigzag. The taxonomic identification was performed in four assessments, corresponding to the months of November and March, comprising two ratings each season, always at the same points, and geo-referenced using the Global Positioning System (GPS). A total of 3,893 individuals, 18 families and 61 species, were identified in Santana do Paraiso and a total of 1,166 individuals, 13 families and 58 species, in Guanhães. In both localities, the most representative families in terms of wealth were: Poaceae, Asteraceae, and Fabaceae. Galinsoga parviflora was the most abundant species. The Vernonia polyantes was identified only in the lowlands, while Arrabida florida was identified in the slope and upper area. On the other hand, Emilia coccinea, Sida rhombifolia, S. paniculatum and Spermacoce latifolia were common to all three environments. Commelina benghalensis was present only in the month of March, while G. parviflora was present only in the month of November. It was concluded that the floristic and phytosociological variation of weeds in eucalyptus plantations is influenced by the type of relief and time of year, which should guide the management practices used in the culture.

O objetivo deste trabalho é de comparar a diversidade específica e a estrutura comunitária de mata de várzea (MV), inundada anualmente, e de mata mesófila semidecídua submontana (MS) situada em áreas adjacentes a cursos dágua, mas que não sofre inundações freqüentes. Para realizar esta comparação, foram estudados 15 fragmentos de mata ao longo do rio Jacaré-Pepira, no centro do estado de São Paulo. Utilizou-se o método de quadrantes para amostrar os indivíduos dos estratos arbóreo e arbustivo com 3 cm ou mais de diâmetro do caule a 1,3 m de altura do solo. Os fragmentos de MV apresentam uma baixa diversidade (1,6 nats/tree £ H £ 2,9 nats/ind.) em relação aos fragmentos de MS (3,2 nats/ind. £ H £ 4,3 nats/ind.). Essa diferença é significativa numa análise discriminante (F= 9,544, p= 0,013). No entanto, alguns fragmentos podem conter os dois tipos de mata (MV e MS) e apresentarem, então, valores altos de diversidade (H próximo de 3,9 nats/ind.). Em relação à densidade total (DT) e à área basal total (ABT), os valores apresentam grandes variações, particularmente para os fragmentos de MS (2040 ind./ha £ DT £ 5479 ind./ha; 21,05 m2/ha £ ABT £ 65,35 m2/ha). Nenhum destes dois parâmetros permite distinguir significativamente MS de MV (p > 0,05). Os valores do Índice de Valor de Cobertura (IVC) mostram que os fragmentos de MV apresentam sempre as mesmas espécies de maior IVC (Croton urucurana e Inga affinis ), enquanto os fragmentos de MS apresentam uma grande variedade de espécies de maior IVC, apesar dos levantamentos terem sido feitos num trecho curto do rio e em condições semelhantes de solo e topografia. Nas bordas dos rios, existe uma faixa de mata transicional, de largura variável em função do relevo e da descarga do rio, que apresenta estruturas intermediárias entre as de MV e MS.

A composição florística e a estrutura fitossociológica foram investigadas em uma área de 7,55 ha de floresta ripária em Itutinga, MG. Essa floresta acompanha um pequeno curso dágua e tem limites bem definidos com um campo limpo montano. O levantamento fitossociológico foi realizado em 28 parcelas de 10 x 30 m, onde todos os indivíduos com diâmetro do tronco à altura do solo igual ou maior que 5 cm foram registrados, tendo seus diâmetros medidos e alturas estimadas. O levantamento florístico baseou-se em coletas dentro e fora das parcelas. Encontraram-se 162 espécies pertencentes a 54 famílias. A área de estudos foi comparada com outras florestas dos Estados de São Paulo e Minas Gerais por meio de análises multivariadas. As áreas floristicamente mais semelhantes com a floresta estudada foram as da mesma região (alto rio Grande). Sugeriu-se que as variáveis mais fortemente ligadas à diferenciação florística entre as florestas comparadas sejam a estacionalidade das chuvas e a altitude. No levantamento fitossociológico, foram registrados 2145 indivíduos distribuídos em 141 espécies. As maiores semelhanças estruturais ocorreram com as florestas de Itutinga e Bom Sucesso e as maiores diferenças com Madre de Deus e Poço Bonito, diferenças que podem ser decorrentes de variações de propriedades dos solos.

Foi realizado um estudo fitossociológico de lianas em uma floresta estacional semidecidual na Fazenda Canchim - Embrapa/CPPSE. A floresta formada por dois fragmentos, possui uma área total de 112 ha, localizada a 21º57' S e 47º50' W. Foram amostrados em 75 parcelas de 10 × 10 m todos os indivíduos de lianas que apresentavam diâmetro maior ou igual a 2,5 cm a uma distância de 1,3 m a partir da base do caule fixo no solo. Foram encontrados 528 indivíduos, pertencentes a 45 espécies, o que representou uma diversidade específica (H') de 3,20 nats. Bignoniaceae, Malpighiaceae, Sapindaceae e Apocynaceae foram as famílias com maior número de espécies e, juntas, representaram 71,11% do total amostrado. A espécie com maior valor de importância (VI) foi Mansoa difficilis (Cham.) Bureau & K. Schum. Os indivíduos amostrados apresentaram pequenos diâmetros e somente quatro tiveram diâmetros maiores que 10 cm.

We analyzed the structure of the understory community in the Atlantic Forest sensu lato, for which phytosociological descriptions of the understory are lacking. We delineated 50 plots of 10 × 20 m each at four sites within an Araucaria forest (a subtype of Atlantic Forest), located in the municipalities of Bananal, Campos do Jordão, Itaberá and Barra do Chapéu, all of which are in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. To sample the resident species of the understory, we randomly selected five 1 × 1 m subplots within each plot, resulting in a total sampling area of 250 m² at each site. We identified differences among the locations, mostly due to proportional differences in growth forms, in terms of species richness and the importance values within the community. Factors potentially influencing the understory structure include macroclimatic and microclimatic conditions, as well as forest fragmentation, the abundance of deciduous trees in the canopy, the surrounding vegetation and geographic location.

The objective of this study was to obtain homogeneous groups of species and information on their density, dominance and volume, in terms of ecological group and diameter structure of an area of Submontane Semideciduous forest (Mata do Mumbaça) in Dionísio, MG. This work was conducted with data of the diameter distribution per species from floristic and phytosociological (Mata do Mumbaça) survey of 120 plots with 10 x 10 m each one. The 120 plots were contiguous and corresponding to a total sample area of 12,000 m² distributed over the topographic units (Low Ramp, Lower Slope, Upper Slope and Hill Top). The topographic units Low Ramp, Lower Slope and Upper Slope were in the middle stage of succession as they presented incipient stratification into two strata (canopy and understory) i.e. canopy ranging from 5 to 12 m high. However, the stratum Hill Top was classified as intermediate/advanced succession because it had a total height equal to or greater than 12 m. The distribution of individual trees of the four strata on diameter classes showed a typical J-inverted pattern that is, high concentration of individuals in smaller diameter classes and a sharp reduction towards the larger classes. In relation to absolute dominance and total volume of species, the ecological group that stood out in the four strata (Low Ramp, Lower Slope, Upper Slope and Hill Top) was the initial secondary, which were in the intermediate stage of secondary, rapidly developing into the mature phase.

The horizontal and vertical tree community structure in a lowland Atlantic Rain Forest was investigated through a phytosociological survey in two 0.99 ha plots in the Intervales State Park, São Paulo State. All trees > 5 cm diameter at breast height were recorded. 3,078 individuals belonging to 172 species were identified and recorded. The Shannon diversity index was H' = 3.85 nat.ind.-1. The Myrtaceae family showed the greatest floristic richness (38 species) and the highest density (745 individuals) in the stand. Euterpe edulis Mart. had the highest importance value (33.98%) accounting for 21.8% of all individuals recorded. The quantitative similarity index was higher than the qualitative index, showing little structural variation between plots. However, the large number of uncommon species resulted in pronounced floristic differences. A detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) generated three arbitrary vertical strata. Stratum A (> 26 m), where Sloanea guianensis (Aubl.) Benth. and Virola bicuhyba (Schott. ex A.DC.) Warb. were predominant showed the lowest density. Stratum B (8 m < h < 26 m) had the greatest richness and diversity, and stratum C (< 8 m) showed the highest density. Euterpe edulis, Guapira opposita (Vell.) Reitz, Garcinia gardneriana (Planch. & Triana) Zappi, and Eugenia mosenii (Kausel) Sobral were abundant in strata B and C. The occurrence of strata in tropical forests is discussed and we recommend the use of DCA for others studies of the vertical distribution of tropical forest tree communities.
