Structure of a tropical rainforest 10 years after selective logging in Moju-Pará

ABSTRACT Studies of the floristic and structural dynamics in forest exploitation areas allow to assess the impacts and provide basic information for the rational forest management. In this context, the floristic and structural dynamics were evaluated in a rainforest, ten years after its logging. The experiment was performed in 200 ha of the Experimental Field of Embrapa Eastern Amazon, in Moju - PA, where logging was done. Around the nine gaps selected, 10 m x 50 m tracks were installed, divided into square plots of 10 m side (1-5), where the plants with DBH ≥ 5 cm were inventoried. In plots 1, 3 and 5 and in the gap center subplots of 2 m x 2 m were installed where individuals with height ≥ 10 cm and DBH
