Abstract

This paper presents a phytosociological study of shrub stratum inside an Araucaria angustifolia forestry on the Mixed Araucaria-Broadleaf Forest region at São Francisco de Paula National Forest (29°23’S, 50°23’W), Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The point-centered quadrant method was used to record the shrubs each 5m in a transect of 150m length. In the survey, we sampled 32 different species, including dead ones, distriuited in 26 genera and 18 botanical families. Styrax leprosus, Ilex paraguariensis, Mollinedia elegans, Rudgea parquioides, Eugenia ramboi, Sebastiana brasiliensis, Matayba elaeagnoides were themost important species by representing almost 40% of the importance value (IV). The results must help for best conduction of the actual and future management plans and conservation action in this National Forest.
