“…However, as observed in the present study, as the succession moves towards greater diversity, biotic interactions lead to greater complexity and, hence to traits divergence between ecosystems(Vitória et al, 2019;Chazdon and Guariguata, 2016). In this sense, the present study results are in line withPastório et al (2020), who also veri ed the existence of great variability in several structural and compositional parameters when comparing different types of forests in the Atlantic Forest biome.The in uence of environmental variations on the ecosystems in the Atlantic Forest, such as weather conditions and topographical aspects, has been reported in several previous studies(Pastório et al, 2020;Higuchi et al, 2012;Klauberg et al, 2010;Budke et al, 2007;Roderjan et al, 2001).Regarding weather conditions, the DOF and SDF regions have a subtropical climate, without a dry season and a hot summer (Cfa). In contrast, although its subtropical climate without a dry season, the MOF ecosystem is a place of temperate summer and severe winters with extreme frosts (Cfb)(Alvares et al, 2013).…”

“…This hypothesis is based on the fact that, due to the natural variability of environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, soil and water regime, the Atlantic Forest biome is characterized by a certain dissimilarity between ecosystems (Vitória et al, 2019;Dullius et al, 2017;Almeida et al, 2015). Without taking into account these possible differences, the classi cation of successional stages in regenerating becomes an even more challenging and complex task (Pastório et al 2020;Mota et al, 2019;Barretto and Catharino, 2015;Siminski et al, 2013;Magnano et al, 2012).…”

For the monitoring and assessment of forest ecosystems of the Atlantic Forest biome, the Brazilian guidelines define a set of indicators to classification of successional stages in regenerating. However, such guidelines do not consider possible differences between forest ecosystems in this biome. This study presents a comparative analysis to verify the hypothesis of differences between forest ecosystems in the Atlantic Forest biome when compared at equivalent successional stage. The analysis employed a database of the Floristic Forest Inventory of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil, with 460 sample units, evaluated based on 5 key indicators variables of successional stages. Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Dunn's procedure were applied to compare the forest ecosystems with basis on the key indicators. The entire analysis considered two-way tests with 5% significance (α), 95% of power (1-β), and a minimum detectable effect size (ρ) of 20%. The statistical tests confirmed the research hypothesis. At least in one of the multiple paired comparisons in later forest successional stages, the indicator variables showed significant differences. Considering that the stage of forest succession comprises the primary criterion for analyzing vegetation suppression requests, the presented results should support and motivate the review of current guidelines. As a perspective for future studies, artificial intelligence methods should be evaluated as a support tool for classifying the forest regeneration stage.

“…Several authors have studied forest fragments (Ribeiro et al 2009, Esposito et al 2018, and many forest areas are in extremely degraded conditions, thus, forest recovery should be an instrument to mitigate this situation (Costa et al 2019). Sustainable management practices are instruments that may be used to long-term recovery of these forests, which are mainly focused on planting a community of native species of the Atlantic Forest biome (Hatfield et al 2018, Pastório et al 2020.…”

The Vale do Ribeira region has a large extension of Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and in most cities, low environmental impact activities predominate, such as sand mining. Sand mining has been trying to adapt their industrial activities to low environmental impact, aiming at the protection of permanent preservation areas (PPAs) of riparian forests. The objective of this work was to conduct a case study focused on monitoring and initial growth of forest species by 18 months. This study was performed in a riparian forest site on the Ribeira de Iguape River, Registro, state of São Paulo, Brazil, in a PPA with extraction of river bed sand. Forest species height, stem diameter and mortality index, and rainfall were evaluated in the period. Non-pioneer species accounted for 42.7 % of the forest, while pioneer species accounted for 53.1 %. These proportions are in accordance with local legislation, which establishes a lower limit of 40 % in planting for both groups. Drought periods and leaf-cutting ants at the beginning of growth stages contributed to a higher mortality index and irregular development of some species, however, even during such adversities, forest species indicated resistance to these conditions. Pioneer species had more important development, with emphasis on Senna multijuga, Alchornea triplinervia, Citharexylum myrianthum and Trema micranta, these species must be taken into consideration during the first stages of a project which aims at recovering degraded areas in riparian forests of Atlantic Forest.
