          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Studies on the natural regeneration of tree species communities are important for providing information on forest development capacity. This research aimed to evaluate the floristic-structural variations of the tree regenerative component along a topographic gradient in an ecotonal area between a Mixed Ombrophilous Forest and a Deciduous Seasonal Forest of Santa Catarina, Brazil. 30 sampling units of which all regenerating tree species individuals have been identified were allocated in the forest fragment. The sampling units were then distributed along a topographic gradient into lower, intermediate and upper sectors. Abundance, richness, Shannon's diversity index (H') and Pielou's evenness index (J) have been determined for both the whole community as for each sector. The community floristic-structural organization was verified by the means of the non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), the indicator species analysis and the permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA). Abundance differences among sectors were analyzed through the Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc multiple nonparametric test while richness differences were verified through rarefaction. Regenerating individuals density in the upper sector [129 (21.300 ind.ha-1)] was lower than both in the lower [401 (63.800 ind.ha-1)] and intermediary [241 (36.300 ind.ha-1)] sectors. There was variation in the floristic-structural composition (p < 0.001) among topographic positions; the lower sector was the most distinct one and showed the highest number of indicator species.

          RESUMO Estudos sobre a regeneração natural de comunidades de espécies arbóreas são importantes por fornecer informações sobre a capacidade de desenvolvimento da floresta. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar as variações florístico-estruturais do componente arbóreo regenerativo ao longo de um gradiente topográfico, em uma área ecotonal entre Floresta Ombrófila Mista e Floresta Estacional Decidual em Santa Catarina. No fragmento florestal, foram instaladas 30 unidades amostrais, onde todos os indivíduos arbóreos regenerantes foram identificados. As unidades amostrais foram distribuídas em três setores ao longo de um gradiente topográfico: setor inferior, intermediário e superior. Para a comunidade como um todo e para cada setor, foram determinados a abundância, riqueza, índice de Shannon (H') e equabilidade de Pielou (J). A organização florístico-estrutural da comunidade foi verificada por meio do Escalonamento Multidimensional Não-Métrico (NMDS), análise de espécies indicadoras e Análise de Variância Multivariada Permutacional (PERMANOVA). Diferenças de abundância e riqueza entre os setores foram avaliadas, respectivamente, pela Análise de Kruskal-Wallis, com teste múltiplo não paramétrico, e rarefação. Houve baixa densidade de indivíduos regenerante inferior e 241 (36.300 ind.ha-1) no intermediário]. Observou-se que a composição florístico-estrutural foi variável entre as posições topográficas (p < 0,001), sendo o setor inferior o mais distinto dos demais e com maior número de espécies indicadoras.

            Light-Gap disturbances, recruitment limitation, and tree diversity in a neotropical forest

            Light gap disturbances have been postulated to play a major role in maintaining tree diversity in species-rich tropical forests. This hypothesis was tested in more than 1200 gaps in a tropical forest in Panama over a 13-year period. Gaps increased seedling establishment and sapling densities, but this effect was nonspecific and broad-spectrum, and species richness per stem was identical in gaps and in nongap control sites. Spatial and temporal variation in the gap disturbance regime did not explain variation in species richness. The species composition of gaps was unpredictable even for pioneer tree species. Strong recruitment limitation appears to decouple the gap disturbance regime from control of tree diversity in this tropical forest.
