          Abstract

          O objetivo do trabalho foi de verificar as mudanças ocorridas na comunidade arbórea em um intervalo de 14 anos. O estudo foi realizado em uma área de floresta semidecidual utilizando 50 parcelas de 10 m×10 m, onde foram amostradas todas as árvores com DAP > 3,18 cm em 1990 e em 2004. No primero inventário encontrou-se 95 espécies, 818 indivíduos e área basal de 14,43 m² . No segundo levantamento amostrou-se 95 espécies, 866 indivíduos e área basal de 13,42 m² . No período de 14 anos, 10 espécies desapareceram e o mesmo número ingressou na comunidade. O índice de diversidade de Shannon, na primeira amostragem foi de 4,05 e na segunda 3,72. A taxa média anual de mortalidade foi de 4,1% e a de recrutamento 4,5%. A meia-vida, o tempo de duplicação, a estabilidade e a reposição, para o número de indivíduos foi 16,92, 15,04, 1,86 e 15,98 anos, respectivamente. O fragmento florestal manteve a riqueza de espécies, porém houve mudanças no índice de diversidade, número de indivíduos e área basal podendo possivelmente ser o resultado do processo de fragmentação e do isolamento dessa comunidade.

          Translated abstract

          This study describes the dynamics of a tree community based on two successive surveys carried out with a 14 years interval in order to analyze changes in the community structure during the period. The study was done in a semideciduous forest area using 50 plots of 10 m×10 m, where all trees with DBH > 3.18 cm were sampled. In 1990 there was registered a total of 95 species, 818 individuals and basal area of 14.43 m², while in 2004, 95 species, 866 individuals and basal area of the 13.42 m² . The floristic composition changed but the number of species remained same. The Shannon's diversity index was 4.05 and the Pielou's evenness 0.62 in 1990 and 3.72 and 0.57 in 2004, respectively. The mean annual mortality rate was 4.1% and the mean annual recruitment rate 4.5%. The half-life, the time duplication, stability and turnover were 16.92, 15.04, 1.86 e 15.98 years, respectively. The changes whitch occurred in the forest community shows that this fragment, althought maintaining general structure and species richness, is undergoings changes in diversity and equity which may be still the result of the fragmentation and isolation process.

            Forest tree growth and dynamics at La Selva, Costa Rica (1969-1982)

            Permanent plots totalling 12.4 hectares were established in 1969 in primary tropical wet forest at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica; all stems ≥10 cm diameter at breast height were tagged and measured. In 1982, the plots were again censused, and all live trees re-measured. Mortality over 13 years was 23.2%, or 2.03% per year based on a logarithmic mortality model. This suggests a stand half-life of around 34 years. Mortality was independent of size class in trees ≥10 cm diameter. Recruitment was equal to mortality. Tree growth curves and age-size relationships for 44 species were projected from 13-year diameter increments using a growth simulation procedure. Understorey trees grow slowly and consistently, and have short life spans; subcanopy trees also grow slowly, but live longer; shade-tolerant canopy trees show variable and often rapid growth and are long-lived; and shade-intolerant canopy trees grow rapidly, show little variation, and have short life spans. The longest imputed life span in our sample was around 440 years (years from 10 cm diameter to the maximum diameter); the shortest life span was around 50 years.

              Growth, recruitment and mortality in the Gama gallery forest in central Brazil over a six-year period (1985–1991)

              Diameter increments, recruitment and mortality were studied over a six-year period in a 3.02 ha sample in an area of 64 ha of undisturbed gallery forest alongside the Gama stream. The study site is located in Fazenda Água Limpa in Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. Trees ≥ 31 cm gbh (10 cm dbh) were measured every three years from 1985 in 151 (10 m × 20 m) permanent plots in Gama forest.
