          Abstract

          (Aspectos estruturais da comunidade arbórea em remanescentes de floresta estacional decidual, em Corumbá, MS, Brasil). Um estudo comparativo da estrutura da comunidade arbórea entre dois remanescentes de floresta decídua foi conduzido em diferentes altitudes: florestas deciduais de terras baixas (FEDTB) e submontana (FEDSM), localizados em Corumbá, MS, Centro Oeste brasileiro. Amostraram-se indivíduos arbóreos com CAP ³ 15 cm, utilizando-se método de quadrantes. Foram demarcados 80 pontos em FEDTB e em FEDSM 78 pontos foram distribuídos por altitude: 180 m (18 pontos), 220, 260 e 300 m de altitude (20 pontos cada). Em FEDTB foram amostradas 34 espécies, sendo que Calycophyllum multiflorum Griseb., Ceiba pubiflora (A. St.-Hil.) K. Schum. e Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan apresentaram os maiores valores de importância. Na área de FEDSM foram amostradas 33 espécies, sendo que Anandenanthera colubrina, Ceiba pubiflora e Acosmium cardenasii H. S. Irwin & Arroyo foram as mais importantes. O padrão de distribuição das espécies variou ao longo do gradiente altitudinal. Em ambas as áreas, o índice de diversidade de Shannon foi de 2,9 e a Equitabilidade de 0,8, onde as famílias mais representativas foram Fabaceae (8 spp.) e Rubiaceae (4 spp). As florestas estudadas apresentaram baixa densidade de indivíduos por hectare em relação a outros estudos, exceto na área a 300 m. A comunidade arbórea apresentou 22,46% de indivíduos perfilhados e em fases iniciais de sucessão. O dossel variou de 6 a 12 m, com indivíduos emergentes de até 18 m. Estes remanescentes representam fonte de diversidade biológica para a região do Pantanal sendo importantes componentes dos corredores naturais da região.

          (Structural features of the arboreal community in remnants of dry forest in Corumbá, MS, Brazil). The structure of the arboreal community of two types of dry forest was compared in an altitudinal gradient of lowland (FEDTB) and submontane (FEDSM) dry forests, in Corumbá, MS, Midwest Brazil. Tree species with circumference at breast height ³ 15 cm were sampled, using the point centered quarter method. In the FEDTB 80 points were demarcated, and in FEDSM 78 points were distributed in the following altitudes: 180 m (18 points), 220, 260 and 300 m (20 points each). In FEDTB 34 species were sampled; Calycophyllum multiflorum Griseb., Ceiba pubiflora (A. St.-Hil.) K. Schum. and Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan have the highest VI values. In FEDSM, 33 species were sampled, and Anandenanthera colubrina, Ceiba pubiflora and Acosmium cardenasii H. S. Irwin & Arroyo were the most important. The distribution pattern of the species varied along the altitudinal gradient. In both forests Shannon's diversity and equitability indexes were 2.9 and 0.8, respectively, and the most representative families were Fabaceae (8 species) and Rubiaceae (4 species). The studied forests have low density of individuals in relation to other studies, except for the track at 300 m. About 22.46% of the individuals of arboreal community had basal ramifications and were in the initial phases of succession. The canopy varied from 6 to 12 m, and emergent individuals of up to 18 m. These remnants represent a source of biodiversity for the Pantanal, being an important part of the natural forest corridors of the region.
