Inventário Florístico Florestal de Santa Catarina: espécies da Floresta Estacional Decidual

This paper aims at to present and analyze the flora of Seasonal Deciduous Forests in Santa Catarina, Brazil, based on results of a Floristic and Forest Inventory of Santa Catarina. We evaluated the botanical collections made in 79 sample units of 4,000m2, within which all individual from woody species higher than 1,5 m were sampled. Additionally, we collected plant species in their reproductive phase both inside and outside the sample units. This sample effort registered 420 species, 90 families, and 275 genera. Inside the sample units there were 233 species, of which 204 species had a diameter at breast high (DBH) > 10 cm; 162 species with DBH < 10 cm and higher than 1,5 m. Fertile specimens collected inside and outside the sample units included 332 angiosperms and one gymnosperm (Araucaria angustifolia), showing the importance of additional collecting. Among the endangered species we collected Ocotea odorifera and Araucaria angustifolia.
