AI Article Synopsis
- The study was conducted in a protected semideciduous Atlantic Forest in Minas Gerais, Brazil, monitoring tree community diversity and structure over several years.
- Two stands were monitored, revealing that larger trees (over 20 cm in diameter) were key for biomass accumulation, indicating an advanced successional stage in the forest.
- The results highlighted significant differences in structure, diversity, and species richness between the two surveyed stands over time.
Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to report the long-term monitoring of diversity and structure of the tree community in a protected semideciduous Atlantic Forest in the South of Minas Gerais State, Southeast Brazil. The study was conducted in two stands (B and C), each with 26 and 38 10 m x 30 m plots. Censuses of stand B were conducted in 2000, 2005 and 2011, and stand C in 2001, 2006 and 2011. In both stands, the most abundant and important species for biomass accumulation over the inventories were trees larger than 20 cm of diameter, which characterize advanced successional stage within the forest.
New Information: The two surveyed stands within the studied forest presented differences in structure, diversity and species richness over the time.
