ABSTRACT

The objective of this work was to evaluate the forest restoration of the basin of Guapiaçu
river in Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro state, using the families of Termites as tools for
environmental assessment. We analyzed the population fluctuation and feeding guilds of the
families of Termites: Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae. Six sampling points were
arranged along Guapiaçu river, five points being inferred in reforestation carried out in the
basin and a point in a regeneration control area. Quantitative and qualitative surveys followed
standard protocols and the samples were obtained directly, without baits. Thirty species within
25 genera were identified and the family Termitidae was the most frequent. The termite fauna of
the control point P06 was the richest. From the frequencies of occurrence of the species related
to their trophic guild, an ecological evaluation table of the environments was proposed. The P05
area, rich in plant species, presented the greatest similarity to the natural regeneration area P06.
The majority of the species was classified as xilophagous.
