Forest restoration in old pasture areas dominated by <i>Urochloa brizantha</i>

In the present study it was evaluated density of recruits in an area previously occupied by Urochloa brizantha pasture undergoing forest restoration and a Semideciduous Forest. Was effect available light on biomass exotic grass, investigated associations recruit with soil variables understory availability. The seed rain both areas also evaluated. U. positively associated and, negative association found between when considering two together. A associatio pH found. results suggest that low fertility did not limited recruitment semideciduos forest. showed high resource availability favors competitivity brizantha, impairing used as pastures. So, pratices result decreasing would pasture.
