Inventário florestal para regularização ambiental do Areal Serra Branca, Caetité, Bahia

Abstract

The Forest Inventory is a method for collecting information concerning the vegetation cover which shows the qualitative and quantitative species characteristics distributed in the forests. Therefore, it consists in a technique that is applied to measure and, consequently, to obtain information about the living species in a predetermined area. The Forest Inventory by sampling is the most efficient method for collecting and estimating the community or population parameters. The aim of this inventory is to describe the floristic composition in addition to estimate the wood volume and also to obtain the phytosociological parameters of the component arboreal and shrub in an area of 22,617 m2 in which one intends to start a sand tillage, located 6.75 km from the city of Caetité, Bahia. Thus, six fixed tranches of 20x50 meters have been distributed to obtain a simple casual inventory, totaling 6,000 meters which represent 26.5% of the total area. The data collected in the field have been counted by software MATA NATIVA 4 and it subsidized the results that led us to conclude that the volume to be suppressed is 0.2327 m3 in an area of 2.26 hectares. Therefore, there is no wood yield in the interested region. The data show an estimate of the reality in this area related to the present wood volume.
