| Abstract | |
The bio diversity of Brazil is a subject that is being argued more frequently in the direction of its preservation, conservation and sustainable use. The anatomy of the wood, important branch of Dendrology, is an essential tool for the determination of the floristic composition, since the taxonomic identification is restricted and limited for the difficulties of finding reproductive material or flowers in the arboreal species, besides the lack of information on the true identity of young trees and the difficult access in field. For the displayed one, this design of research has as objective to relate the more important forest species of the Cerrado (open pasture) and the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) of the State of São Paulo, to collect samples of log for the anatomical macro and microscopic characterization, to develop a key of identification of these species and to provide one better knowledge of the forest ecosystems that occur in the State of São Paulo. In the Ecological Station of Ibicatu, in the State Hold of Port Blacksmith, in the Experimental Arboretum of Duratex, in the Experimental Station of Tupi, in the Experimental Station of Santa Rita of Passa Quatro, in the Forest Hold of Santa Genebra and in the area of the Sao Luiz small farm in the city of Jundiaí. Wooden samples and botanical material had been collected by non destructive method and, to carry out macro and microscopic anatomical descriptions of the log of the arboreal species of these forest ecosystems.
