Abstract

The projects "Diversity, dynamics and conservation in São Paulo State Forests: 40ha of permanent parcels” will be carried out in four Conservation Units (P. E. da Ilha do Cardoso, E. E. de Carlos Botelho, E. E. de Caitetus, E. E. de Assis), representing the four main forest formations of São Paulo State (Restinga Forest, Slope Atlantic Forest, Semideciduous Seasonal Forest and Cerradão). 256 permanent sub-parcels of 400m2 will be placed in each area, in a major parcel of 320x320m, totalizing 10.24ha of represented area in each area and 40.96ha at the four areas. The major parcel in each area will be placed using images produced by multiespectral videography. In each sub-parcel all specimens with PAP bigger or equal to 15cm will be sampled, georeferenced and identified. In each represented area soil (three depths in each parcel) and topography (1:500 scale) will be characterized in detail; a continued characterization (4 years) of weather, ground water and light will be carried out, considering all units of the forest mosaic, and also a characterization of the microbian soil fauna, through the 16S rDNa profile produced by DGGE method. A characterization of the species occurring in each area (in various forms of life) will be carried out, and illustrated guides for field recognition of each forest species sampled will be elaborated. The structure will be characterized with two phytossociological, physiognomic and sylvigenc surveys, with intervals of 3 years between them and the spatial distribution will be estimated through K function. Literature models of generation and maintenance of biodiversity and forest dynamics will be tested for the community and species and compared between the areas. The vegetational data will be correlated with physical data of each area, between areas, in order to understand the difference between the vegetational types and adequate practices of management and conservation. The data will be also compared with those generated in permanent parcels for typically tropical formations. (AU)
