Recovery of degraded areas

With the exploitation of natural resources for agriculture and livestock, the loss of native forests and gallery forests in Brazil occurs. The book aimed to conduct studies on the recovery of degraded area in the gallery forests of Ribeirão São João, located in the municipality of Palmas - TO and evaluate the initial stage of this recovery. Through the Enrichment of Species, to assist natural regeneration, we used seedlings of native plants that were suitable to the conditions imposed by the environment and the degree of disturbance of the chosen area. The area has species remaining, a fundamental factor for the establishment of a revegetation with characteristics close to its initial stage. It was noted that the species Inga sp., Enterolobium contortisiliquum and Pouteria macrophilla have good survival rates through species enrichment, as well as providing rapid soil cover, even without special soil treatment.
