          Abstract

          As formações florestais sobre tabuleiros terciários ocorrem hoje na forma de pequenos fragmentos desde o Rio Grande do Norte até o Rio de Janeiro. No norte fluminense, a Mata do Carvão (1.053 ha) é o maior remanescente. Este trabalho descreve a estrutura e a composição florística desta mata, tendo por objetivo compará-la com outras matas da região. Foram estabelecidas quatro parcelas de 50 m x 50 m em uma área selecionada, sem vestígios de corte e de fogo. Todas as árvores com DAP > ou = 10 cm foram amostradas e plaqueadas. Árvores mortas foram medidas mas não plaqueadas. Um total de 564 árvores foram amostradas. Foram encontradas 34 famílias, sendo as de maior número de espécies Leguminosae (18), Myrtaceae (8) e Euphorbiaceae (6). As famílias mais abundantes foram Rutaceae (189), Leguminosae (97) e Euphorbiaceae (47). As espécies com maior índice de valor de cobertura (IVC) foram Metrodorea brevifolia, Paratecoma peroba e Pseudopiptadenia contorta. Embora a Mata do Carvão tenha uma diversidade (H = 3,21 nats) menor que outras matas estacionais semidecíduas (ex. mata de tabuleiro de Linhares), ela possui uma alta similaridade de espécies arbóreas com as matas de tabuleiro do sul da Bahia e do norte do Espírito Santo. Na Mata do Carvão foi observada a ocorrência de espécies raras típicas de mata de tabuleiro, como Paratecoma peroba, Centrolobium sclerophyllum e Polygala pulcherrima (novas ocorrências para a flora fluminense).

          The forests on Barreiras formations are located in fragmented areas extending from the Rio Grande do Norte State to north of Rio de Janeiro State. In the north of Rio de Janeiro State, the "Mata do Carvão" (1053 ha) is the largest remaining fragment. This study describes the structure and floristic composition of a remnant forest on tertiary tabuleiros and its main aim was to compare this forest with other "tabuleiro" and Atlantic forest remnants in the region. To carry out the inventory, four plots of 50 x 50 m were allocated in a selected area without vestiges of logging activities or fire. All trees > or = 10 cm DBH were sampled and numbered with aluminium tags. Dead trees were measured but not tagged. A total of 564 trees was sampled being distributed within 34 families. The families with higher number of species were Leguminosae (18), Myrtaceae (8), and Euphorbiaceae (6). The most abundant families were Rutaceae (189), Leguminosae (97) and Euphorbiaceae (47). The species with higher cover index values were Metrodorea brevifolia, Paratecoma peroba and Pseudopiptadenia contorta. Although the "Mata do Carvão" showed lower tree diversity (H = 3.21) than those found for other semi-deciduous seasonal forests, it has a high species similarity between the tabuleiro forests of South Bahia and North of Espírito Santo. In the "Mata do Carvão", the occurrence of rare species at risk of extinction (e.g. Paratecoma peroba) was observed. Furthermore, these are new occurrences for the Rio de Janeiro State (Centrolobium sclerophyllum and Polygala pulcherrima).
