Name (native language): Störung, Fragmentierung und Regeneration des atlantischen Regenwaldes in der Region Pernambuco im nordosten Brasiliens
Coordinating organisation: University of Ulm
Description: Rests(Leftovers) of the Atlantic rain forest are found in Pernambuco particularly on surfaces which can be used not agriculturally. Forest fragments are sprinkled in the northern part(section) of the federal state in the midst of sugarcane monocultures and are often limited to precipitous Talungen. Therefore, the woods(forests) are defeated disturbances which have an effect from the edges on the vegetation. To estimate(appraise) the long-term consequences of these disturbances on the regeneration capacity of the supplies, the flower biology and reproductive biology of important types of tree(tree species) is examined(investigated). Besides, is grasped the Blühphänologie is examined(investigated) is observed which conception success and which seminal beginning as well as the seminal germination and –etablierung as well as the age structure. The structural change of the vegetation from the edge to the central areas of the fragments is grasped by the elevation of plant-sociological parametres (Individuendichte, family diameter, family height etc.) in Transekten.
