Context 1

... is a delimited restinga forest area with approximately 11.2 hectares (ha), parallel to the ocean, with a distance of about 1.5 km from it ( Figure 1). In that area, three sampling zones were established, these being determined as periodically flooded forest (PI), transitional forest (IT) and non-flooded forest (NI) ( Magnago et al., 2013). ...

Context 2

... consistency of the sampling effort, we selected seven individuals of P. icicariba (n=7) in each forest zone, totaling a sample population of 21 individuals (Figure 1). For the choice of individuals, we considered those that were best distributed throughout the study area, obeying the minimum spacing of 5.0 meters between them and with stem diameter at breast height (DBH; determined at 1.3 m above the soil) ≥ 5 cm ( Lourenço et al., 2020). ...
