Use‐history Effects on Structure and Flora of Caatinga

Abstract: Floristic composition and vegetation structure of plants 3 cm stem diameter or greater were compared at four sites in the Agreste of Paraiba, Brazil: (1) little disturbed for five decades (LD); (2) grazed fragment, selectively logged 16 years before sampling (GF); (3) naturally regrowing for 30 years after 39 years of agriculture (OR); and (4) naturally regrowing for 20 years after 35 years of agriculture plus 15 years of pasture (NR). Cattle graze frequently in the last three sites but very seldom in LD. The … Show more

“…According to Sampaio (2010), typical Caatinga areas contain <50 woody species. Although the number of species of regenerating areas ranges from 16-45 woody species ha -1 , this depends on the history of use, inclusion criteria, and abandonment time (PEREIRA et al, 2003;ANDRADE et al, 2007;DANTAS et al, 2010). The results of the present study confirm the account of Sampaio (2010) for a preserved area and are within the range indicated for regenerating areas.…”

“…However, these values of density and basal area include those found in the study area, as well as in other areas of Caatinga of Northeastern Brazil (PEREIRA et al 2003;ANDRADE et al 2005;MOREIRA et al 2007;DANTAS et al 2010;CALIXTO;DRUMMOND, 2011;FERRAZ et al, 2014), regardless of the inclusion criteria, the successional stage, or history of vegetation usage. These results indicate that the magnitude of these values is so large that all kinds of dry vegetation can be included in the structural interval, independent of modifying variables.…”

“…Isto causa impactos tanto no solo quanto na vegetação, uma vez que promove o desmatamento para atender à demanda de lenha e dendroenergia. Portanto, a área de caatinga estudada nestes municípios, mesmo sendo a melhor que se pôde encontrar, refl ete de maneira contundente os impactos dessa exploração, o que explica o valor de área basal abaixo dos padrões geralmente apresentados pelo bioma caatinga Mendes & Castro 2003;Pereira et al 2003).…”

“…São escassos os estudos abordando aspectos da regeneração da flora arbustivo-arbórea na caatinga paraibana (Pereira et al 2001;Pereira et al, 2003) e não se conhecem trabalhos com esta abordagem em áreas antes cultivadas com sisal.…”
