Abstract

This work aimed to better understand the ecology of Byrsonima intermedia A. Juss. and the mechanisms for initial establishment of this species in riparian microenvironments. The study was conducted at Peti Environmental Station - PETI (19o53'34.1"; 43o21'52.6"), São Gonçalo do Rio Abaixo, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The ecological parameters studied were: moisture at dispersion (fruit, seed and diaspore) and after dispersion (imbibition; initial growth and development). Diaspores and seeds present different behaviors. The faster water absorption process was in seeds without endocarp. The total growth length from embryo until seedling was 21 days. Seedlings establishes preferentially in flooded environments.
