No Nordeste brasileiro, a Floresta Estacional Decidual ocorre em zona de contato entre a Caatinga, o Cerrado e a Mata Atl?ntica, sendo faixas estreitas e transicionais. No RN ocorre uma versatilidade florestal entre esses ecossistemas. A varia??o de altitude ? um fator importante de mudan?as de padr?es vegetacionais, no entanto pouco estudada em florestas nacionais e locais. O estudo foi realizado em uma ?rea de floresta decidual no munic?pio de Maca?ba. Esta foi dividida em 4 cotas, com diferen?a de 19 m de altitude entre elas. Foram coletados dados flor?sticos e fitossociol?gicos. Foi inventariado um total de 449 indiv?duos distribu?dos em 69 esp?cies, 49 g?neros e 36 fam?lias, sendo a fam?lia mais representativa a Fabaceae com 11 esp?cies e 164 indiv?duos, seguidas por Myrtaceae (10 esp?cies e 98 indiv?duos) e Malpighiaceae (4 esp?cies e 10 indiv?duos). As esp?cies Chamaecrista ensiformis (Vell.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby, Guapira laxa (Netto) Furlan e Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tul. obtiveram os maiores ?ndices Fr: 50, 45 e 50 e VI: 25,11%; 17,09% e 19,58% respectivamente. Nenhuma esp?cie ocorreu ao longo de todo gradiente, havendo uma entrada e sa?da de t?xons constante. Os valores da DCA foram de -0,851 e - 6,8794; os ?ndices de J?, 0,8432, (C) 0,9533 E H?3,532; C2 apresentou os melhores valores para todos os ?ndices analisados, evidenciando um excelente estagio de conserva??o e fitofisionomia relacionada ? Mata Atl?ntica; C1 e C4, apesar da dist?ncia, apresentam fitofisionomia da Caatinga e do Cerrado, enquanto C3 apresenta t?xons de ampla distribui??o entre os biomas nacionais. Assim, observa-se uma significante dissimilaridade na estrutura vegetacional de modo suave e cont?nuo. / The delimitation of Deciduous Forests should be done including several aspects, such as soil, relief and vegetation. In the Brazilian Northeast, the Decidual Seasonal forest occurs in a contact zone between the Caatinga, the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest, being narrow and transitional bands. In the RN there is a forest versatility between these ecosystems. The altitude variation is an important factor of changes in vegetation patterns, however not deeply studied in national and local forests. The study was carried out in an area of deciduous forest in the county of Maca?ba, which was divided into 4 zones with a difference of 19 m of altitude between them, floristic and phytosociological data were collected. A total of 449 individuals distributed in 69 species, 49 genus and 36 families were inventoried. Fabaceae family was the most representative one with 11 species and 164 individuals, followed by Myrtaceae (10 species and 98 individuals) and Malpighiaceae (4 species and 10 indivisuals). Chamaecrista ensiformis (Vell.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby, Guapira laxa (Netto) Furlan e Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tul species obtained the higher indexes Fr: 50, 45 e 50 e VI: 25,11%; 17,09% e 19,58% , repectively. No species occurred along the entire gradient, with a constant input and output of taxa, DCA values was -0,851 e -6,8794, the indexes de of J?0,8432 , (C) 0,9533 E H?3,532; C2 presented the best values for all analyzed indexes evidencing an excellent stage of conservation and phytosanation related to the Atlantic Forest. Ci and C4 in spite of the distance they present Phytophysiognomy of Caatinga and Cerado; While C3 presents taxa of wide distribution among the national biomes. Thus a significant dissimilarity in the vegetative structure is observed in a smooth and continuous way.
