Regeneração natural em nascentes degradadas

Abstract

In the search for methods and application techniques of degraded areas recovery projects fall within this study. This work is a floristic survey of natural regeneration and assesses how the refined layer can act as a good environmental indicator of natural restoration of an ecosystem. The goal is to make a floristic and structural survey of regenerating and mature trees and shrubs communities in a riparian area in the vicinity of a spring. The results show that the comparison between the structural and phytosociological communities between woody strata and adults can be a good indication of how is the natural regeneration process in an ecosystem. The study was developed in the basin of Capivari river in the southern region of Minas Gerais. The findings point to the potential importance of species discovery for use in restoring springs where there is need for planting and provides information that can assist in making conservation decisions and ecological data on fores
