STRUCTURE AND POTENTIAL USE OF TREE SPECIES IN A MANAGED FOREST IN PA MOJU, SANTÁREM-PARÁ

The study aimed to analyze the phytosociology and multipurpose tree\ud species use in a managed forest in the Actaaia community, Settlement Moju I and II,\ud Santarém, Pará. 10 ha of managed forest were sampled, systematically allocating 20 plots\ud of 20 m x 250 m, with all trees with DBH ≥ 10 cm measured. 128 species belonging to\ud 37 families were found. The Shannon diversity index was 4.04, which resulted in 83%\ud of the maximum diversity of the sample. Each species was represented on average by\ud eight individuals and the density and basal area were 341.83 trees.ha-1 and 18.05 m².ha-1,\ud respectively. After exploration, the forest contained species with timber and non-timber\ud potential use by the community, with the occurrence of 58% of species with at least two\ud uses, revealing the importance of studying their features to improve the quality of life of\ud the community, which should be considered in a community forest management plan
