Knowing the processes that occur after fragmentation, such as the tree structure that occurs in the edge, is fundamental to propose conservationist measures. The objective of this work was to carry out a phytosociological survey of adult tree species under edge effect and verify the floristic similarity among the plots. The work was developed in an area of 83,8 ha located in the municipality of Nazaré da Mata - PE. The sample area comprised 10.000 m2, equivalent to the implantation of 10 contiguous transects of 10 x 100 m perpendicular to the edge. All tree individuals with CAP e" 15 cm were sampled, labeled and identified. Afterward, phytosociological parameters and the floristic similarity were calculated. In this study, 1238 individuals, belonging to 72 táxons and distributed into 26 botanical families were sampled. The species Campomanesia xanthocarpa, Zanthoxylum rhoifolium, and Anadenanthera colubrina, showed the largest importance value, as theoretically, they managed to better exploit habitat resources.

Once certified, they consider themselves having done their part. But is this enough? This work has been carried out with the clear intention of provoking the professionals who can give the much needed answers for the construction of environmental sustainability in the pulp and paper sector.

The methodology is applied to measure the structural integrity under impact loads of the new Cubipod CAU compared with the conventional cube CAU. The ...
