dc.description.abstractThe conversion of natural forests into homogeneous reforestation areas, when done with exotic species may influence ecological processes, such as the interaction between seeds and their natural predators and/or dispersers. Herein we evaluate whether the use of Pinus elliottii in homogeneous reforestation areas influences seed removal from the soil in the secondary vegetation of the adjacent Mixed Ombrophilous Montane Forest. Six areas of secondary vegetation from the Montana Forest, adjacent to P. elliottii crops, were selected and sampling points were distributed along transects 0, 10, 25, 50 and 100 meters from the forest edge. The removal rate was elevated for all species (100% for Syagrus romanzoffiana, 98% for Pinus elliottii and 49% for Araucaria angustifolia). Seeds of A. angustifolia presented increased removal rates towards the interior of native forest, with 33% of removal at 0 m and 70% at 100 m from the forest edge. The increase in seed removal indicates that fauna oftenly associated with the analyzed species may be related to both predation and secondary dispersion of seeds. We suggest that the reduced removal of A. angustifolia seeds, a key species for the Atlantic Forest, at the forest edge beside P. elliottii crops may indicate loss in movement from wild fauna associated with the homogeneous planting of trees. Also the removal of P. elliottii within the native forest, if predated, may indicate curbing of its invasive potential. However, if dispersed, it may indicate P. elliottii is, in fact, invading the Mixed Ombrophilous Montane Forest.en
