PATRÓN ESPACIAL DE LA REGENERACIÓN DE Aspidosperma polyneuron Müll. Arg. EN UN BOSQUE SOMETIDO A APROVECHAMIENTO SELECTIVO EN EL NORTE DE LA PROVINCIA DE MISIONES

ABSTRACT The spatial pattern of regeneration of Aspidosperma polyneuron Müll.Arg. was studied in a remnant sector of the Paranaense forest in the Misiones province, Argentina. All individuals were mapped in a 210 m x 100 m area (2,1 ha). Univariate and bivariate point pattern analyses were used by means of Wiegand and Moloney O ring index. Regeneration showed clumped pattern to scales up to10 m and clusters of 30 m of diameter. No association was found between regeneration and both adult trees of A. polyneuron and standing death trees, whereas a small scale relationship between regeneration a...
