- Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of fire on the structure and carbon storage of a capoeira, and to compare the impact on the vegetation of the prescribed burning (QP) in relation to uncontrolled fire (INC). The study was conducted in a forest fragment at the initial stage of regeneration of 1.94 ha. INC were observed at the site between the years 2014 and 2017. In one of these fires, in the year 2017, part of the capoeira (0,37 ha) was affected. The rest of the area (1.57 ha) was submitted to the QP procedure, for comparation between the two actions in the vegetation. A census-type forest inventory was carried out in the years 2013, 2015 and 2017, followed by assessments of horizontal structure, volumetry and carbon stock. The absolute density (AD) in 2017 was 64.37% lower than the first survey. The absolute dominance (DoA) was 74.24% lower than in the inventory of 2013. Mabea fistulifera Mart. was the species with the highest coverage value (CV) in all three inventories. The INC affected drastically the structure of the forest. The number of individuals ha-1 of QP was 51.86% higher than that of INC. The impact of the fire has damaged the forest structure as well as its potential to mitigate climate change and QP has a smaller impact on the forest than the INC.
