DINÂMICA DA FLORA ARBUSTIVO-ARBÓREA COLONIZADORA EM UMA ÁREA DEGRADADA PELA EXTRAÇÃO DE OURO EM DIAMANTINA, MG DYNAMICS OF THE SHRUB AND TREE VEGETATION COLONIZING AN AREA DEGRADED BY GOLD MINED IN DIAMANTINA, MINAS GERAIS STATE

The main goal was to understand the dynamic process of vegetation colonizing an area degraded by the extraction of gold. The study area was stratified into three environments and, in each environment, contiguous ten plots of 100m ² each were allocated. For the realization of the dynamics, two surveys of shrub-tree with level of inclusion (DAS 30 > 3 cm) were carried out. The first one was realized in 2008 and second in 2010. In 2010, the new individuals that met the criterion for inclusion (recruits) were marked and measured,
