Resumo
Este estudo apresenta a composição florística de trechos de uma faixa de vegetação de transição existente na região centro-leste do Estado de Mato Grosso, mais precisamente no município de Gaúcha do Norte (13° 10'S e 53° 15' O), onde dá-se o contato entre a Floresta Ombrófila e a Floresta Estacional. O levantamento florístico foi realizado em março de 1999 e bimestralmente a partir de agosto de 1999 até março de 2001, em excursões com duração média de 5 dias, por meio de caminhadas na borda e no interior de florestas, sendo coletadas fanerógamas em fase reprodutiva. Também foram incluídas amostras vegetativas de espécies arbustivo-arbóreas, que não floresceram ou frutificaram durante o período de amostragem, amostradas em 3ha destinados ao levantamento fitossociológico. O levantamento florístico resultou em 72 famílias, 168 gêneros e 268 espécies. do total de espécies, 66% apresentaram hábito arbóreo e 18% foram lianas. As ervas e arbustos praticamente restringiram-se às áreas de borda ou clareiras, somando 13%. Já a flora epifítica mostrou-se pouco expressiva (1%), quando comparada ao restante da Amazônia, em conseqüência do clima regional mais seco. Hemiepífitas, parasitas e palmeiras constituíram o percentual restante. Constatou-se que 39 espécies amostradas em Gaúcha do Norte ainda não haviam sido depositadas em herbários que mantém coleções representativas da flora matogrossense, enfatizando a carência de coletas nas áreas florestais do Estado.
This paper shows the floristic composition of forest patches in a zone of transition vegetation which exists in the central-east region of Mato Grosso state, more specifically in the municipality of Gaúcha do Norte (13° 10'S and 53° 15' W) where it connects the tropical rain-forest and the seasonal forest. The floristic survey was performed in March 1999 and bisemesterly from August 1999 to March 2001 (during excursions of an average of five days duration) on treks through the border and inside the forests and fanerogamous flora were collected in the reproductive phase. Vegetational samples of shrub-woody species which do not flower or fruit during the sample period were also collected from the 3 ha of the phytosociological survey. The floristic survey resulted in 72 families, 168 genera and 268 species. of the species, 66 % were woody and 18 % were lianas. The herbs and shrubs were practically restricted to the border areas or clearings and formed 13 % of the total. The epiphytic flora was not very expressive (1 %) when compared to the rest of the Amazon forest, due to the extremely dry regional climate. Hemiepiphytas, parasites and palm trees constituted the remaining percentage. Thirty nine of the species sampled in Gaúcha do Norte had not, at that time, been deposited in the herbaria which maintain representative collections of the flora of Mato Grosso, emphasizing the need for collections in the forest areas of this state.
