Abstract

The Atlantic Forest is considered one of the main hotspots of biodiversity, although it presents a large part of its fragmented vegetation. In order to carry out a comparative survey concerning the richness and diversity of species of Atlantic forest fragments in Pernambuco, the Alpha and beta diversities of six areas were calculated from secondary data. For this purpose, the absolute and relative densities of each species were used in each area. The species Eschweilera ovata showed the highest density when compared to the areas, besides being one of the eight species found in the six fragments. The fragments with the greatest are conservation units of integral protection. The fragment with the highest density, 1793 Ind. Ha, was not the most richness, indicating that the density was not the determinant factor for the richness and diversity of species in the areas.
