dc.descriptionThe aim of the study was to assess seed rain in a stretch of conserved forest, addressing seasonality and the potential of seed production for natural forest regeneration. Thirty five 1m2 collectors were randomly distributed between seven 50x50m plots. Material was collected monthly for a period of one year. Data analysis was carried out using species richness, density, frequency, period of production and type of seed dispersal. A total of 2,391 seeds (corresponding to 68 seeds.m-2) were sampled from 50 different species. 19 were classified as morphospecies and the remaining 31 were distributed in 18 families, 25 genera and 17 species. The family with the highest number of seeds was Annonaceae (15.65 seeds.m-2). The species with the highest seed densities were Bocageopsis multiflora (12.97 seeds.m-2) and Ilex affinis (10.49 seeds.m-2). In relation to frequency, Bocageopsis multiflora occurred in 97.1% of the points, followed by the Morphospecies 19 with 68.5%. The dry season (May to October) showed higher seed production at 47.4 seeds.m-2, as well as the highest number of species dispersing seeds at 27. Finally, the wind dispersion (anemochory) predominated, characterized by the occurrence of 20 species. Overall, it was observed that the production of seeds in the study area followed a seasonal pattern in response to varying precipitation, with higher seed production and the end of the dry season correlated as a possible species survival strategy.en-US
