- Abstract
Natural regeneration was analyzed on Restinga Forest, located in extensive cattle ranching area in the Municipality of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Two areas were delimited, one with cattle access and the other without (control). Two transects with 20 systematic plots of 2 m x 2 m distant 5 m were used. We collected 27 species from 14 families. In control area 23 species and 316 individuals were registered, while in the area with cattle only 10 species and 36 individuals were sampled. The species with the highest abundance in control area were Psychotria carthagenensis Jacq. (91 ind.), Sorocea bonplandii (Baill.) W.C.Burger et al. (82), P. brachyceras Müll.Arg. (62), Trichilia elegans A.Juss. (15) and Eugenia uruguayensis Cambess. (11) and in the area with cattle access were Daphnopsis racemosa Griseb. (17 ind.), P. brachyceras (6), Solanum mauritianum Scop. (5), P. carthagenensis (2) and T. elegans (1). The results showed significant differences in natural regeneration, corroborating the hypothesis that livestock activities influence negatively the richness and the structure of natural regeneration of forest communities.
