Abstract: -The structure of a population can be seen as the result of biotic and abiotic interacting forces. The studies of population characteristics are vital to improve the understanding of ecosystem functioning. In this study, we attempted to answer the two following questions: What are the population structure of Attalea phalerata? and Are there any influence of reproducers presence, canopy openness, declivity, basal area and soil coverage on recruitment of individuals in this population? We distinguished four onto… Show more

“…Advanced regeneration was also higher on the restored site (higher TNR), indicating motacú have greater regeneration potential on this site. Brazilian studies found similar [ 70 ] and slightly higher [ 40 ] proportions of saplings in motacú populations within forests where cattle were excluded over comparable periods [ 71 , 72 ], suggesting cattle may negatively impact sapling recruitment. Over time, inhibited recruitment can lead to demographic bottlenecks in tree populations, threatening the long-term dynamics of forest composition, structure and function [ 73 ].…”

“…For broadleaf saplings, dbh was also recorded at 1.3 m. Where impossible due to height or structure in adults or saplings, dbh was taken under the first branch off the main stem. We did not record motacú sapling dbh as growth as juveniles is acaulescent (stemless) [ 40 ]. The line intercept method [ 41 ] was used to describe the shrub layer.…”
