Abstract

Native species regenerating in an area of Pinnus elliottii plantation were surveyed 5 years after a disturbance by fire. THe studied area belongs to IBAMA (Córrego Grande, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil) at 27º36'N - 48º30'W. All woody plants ? 50 cm in height were counted and measured (circumference 10 cm above ground) in 5 plots of 10m x 10m. Melastomataceae was the family with the greatest number of species (5/19 registered). Cecropia cf. glazioui Snethlage, Trema micrantha (L.) Blume and Mimosa bimucronata (DC.) O. Ktze. presented the highest density and basal area, T. micrantha being in populational decline. The species registered in this study are usually found in secondary vegetation of the Atlantic Forest. Alchornea triplinervia (Spr.) M. Arg. and A. iricurana Casaretto, particularly, also occur in primary forests. Is spite of the low species richness, the results show the regeneration potential of native vegetation in areas utilized for silviculture.
