Assessment of the natural regeneration of the forest (fragment) of the IF Goiano, Campus Rio Verde

Abstract

The regeneration succeeds from the interaction of natural processes of rebuilding the forest ecosystem, it is considered one of the most promising tactics for restoring areas that have been degraded. Thus, studying them allows us to know a little about the way the forest will develop, since it provides the number of species it has and their distribution in the area. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential and characteristics of natural regeneration in the recovery process of the forest forest at the IF Goiano - Rio Verde campus. For this survey, 15 plots of 5x5m were allocated. All shrub-tree individuals that had at least 10 mm in diameter at ground height (DAS) were sampled; or height of at least 50 cm and that did not meet the criterion for inclusion of the tree extract (CAP ≥ 10 cm).  Classic phytosociological parameters were calculated. A total of 707 individuals were sampled, belonging to 14 families and 23 species, with a predominance of the species Senegalia polyphylla (DC.) Britton & Rose, from the Fabaceae family, in almost all plots. Thus, it is concluded that the study area has low diversity and little species richness.
