<br/><br/> <br/><br/>ABSTRACT<br/><br/>This study aimed to identify the floristic composition and density of a seed bank transposed<br/>from a Seasonal Forest fragment in Rio Grande do Sul. The seed bank of the (BSI) fragment<br/>center and edge (BSII) of another forest fragment was also evaluated, both at medium to<br/>advanced successional stages. The seed bank was deposited in Brown-Gray Argisol and Red<br/>Argisol using exposed soil plots as control. ANOVA followed by Tukey test (p<0.05) were used<br/>to compare treatments for density and species richness. The density of individuals did not<br/>differ between treatments. Species richness was higher for BSI and BSII treatments in relation<br/>to control. The floristic composition presented different life forms, but was mainly composed of<br/>herbaceous species. It was concluded that the seed bank from the two donor areas contributed<br/>to the expansion of species richness in two soil types.<br/><br/>Keywords: degraded areas, nucleation, seed bank transposition.
