Successional groups and dispersal syndromes of tree and shrub species at the riparian forest fragment in Conchal, SP, Brazil to evaluate its potential as a source of seeds to the enrichment of revegetated riparian areas along the Mogi-Guaçu River, SP

This work was conducted in a reminiscent Riparian forest fragment at the Mogi-Guaçu River, in Conchal, SP, Brazil, to evaluate the potential of this fragment as a seed supplier to other projects regarding the preservation and enrichment of this type of forest in the region. Thus, the tree and scrub species sampled in floristic surveys were classified according to their dispersal syndromes and successional groups, with 38 families and 99 species being recorded in the area. The families with the most species were Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, and Rubiaceae. A balance was observed between late secondary species (28.3%) and understory species (23.2%). Zoochory was the most frequently observed syndrome (64.6%), followed by anemochory (20.2%). These results show the good conservation of the fragment studied, and confirm the viability of using it as a source of seeds in Riparian forest revegetation projects in the Mogi-Guaçu region.
