PRATA, E.M.B., ASSIS, M.A. & JOLY, C.A. Floristic composition and structure of tree community on the transition Lowland - Lowermontane Ombrophilous Dense Forest in Núcleo Picinguaba/Serra do Mar State
Park, Ubatuba, southeastern Brazil. Biota Neotrop. 11(2): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n2/en/abstr act?inventory+bn02211022011 Abstract: We conducted floristic and structural surveys on arboreous component (circumference at breast high ≥ 15 cm) in 1 ha plot (100 sub-plots of 10 × 10 m) located in a stretch of Atlantic Ombrophilous Dense Forest
Lowland-Lower montane transition, in Núcleo Picinguaba/PESM, Ubatuba, São Paulo State. The regenerating layer (H ≥ 1.5 m and circumference at breast height < 15 cm) was sampled in 0.4 ha (40 sub-plots of 10 × 10 m) within the plot. The richness and diversity were 156 species and H’ = 4.00 for the arboreous component in 1 ha,
173 and H’ = 4.25 for arboreous (113 species) and regenerating (134 species) layers together in 0.4 ha, and 192 species considering the whole sample. The most abundant species in the tree layer were Euterpe edulis, with
191 individuals (14.8%), Mollinedia schottiana (5.1%), Rustia
