Abstract

In order to enhance large-scale forest restoration in different ecoregions within Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), it is fundamental to understand more about the potential of natural regeneration, to use it to enhance forest cover. It is very important to understand about the dynamics of those forests. Therefore, the aim of this scholarship is to measure attributes of trees that were recently recruited, after the first inventory, in different ecoregions of the Atlantic Forest. Soil attributes will be measured, as well. (AU)
