Abstract
Natural regeneration of Abarema maestrensis (Urb.) Bässler was evaluated in the mountain formation of rain forest in the Turquino National Park. The methodology of the diagnostic sampling was used, in reproductive trees of the specie establishing circular plots. Parameters were evaluated as: quantity of individuals in the natural regeneration, density, structure of sizes and space distribution. For the evaluation of the height of the seedlings was carried out an analysis of variance of double classification, the test of Duncan was used through the statistical package InfoStat 2012. The results proved that the species Abarema maestrensis shows a high regeneration in the first development phases with a high mortality in the next stages, the distribution was in form of invested J, characteristic of threatened species. The space distribution of the species is uniform. The appropriate handling of the natural regeneration is suggested for a bigger achievement of individuals and its survival.
