This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of a population of Cabralea canjerana (Vell.) Mart. in natural regeneration, in a fragment of Deciduous Forest in the county of Silveira Martins, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. For such analyzes, individuals of the species with height ≥ 30 cm were measured, in seventyseven sample units allocated contiguously in the area. To analyze the dispersion pattern of the specie it was used the indexes of Morisita, Payandeh and Fracker and Brischle. The structure was analyzed by frequency and absolute density and distribution histogram in height classes. According to the dispersion indexes, the species is aggregate. The high values of density and frequency confirm the importance of the species in forest structure.Downloads
