Abstract
Current state of tropical forest degradation brings the need of alternatives for ecological restoration. Agroforestry systems (AFS) can be applied for the restoration of degraded areas and as an alternative to traditional agricultural practices, especially in biodiversity hotspots as the Atlantic Forest biome. Thus, we aimed to evaluate composition and basal area of twelve agroforestry sites in the southeast region of Atlantic Forest biome. We quantified species richness, Shannon diversity index, density and basal area of all AFS. We found 102 species, 2,164 individuals and 32 families in all AFS. Age of AFS did not influence richness, diversity, density, and basal area. In the AFS of this study, the designs led to differences in basal area, attributed to different densities and species diversity that composed them.
