Abstract
An intensive study was made of a gallery forest near Cuiabá, State of Mato Grosso. Analysis of the vegetation on 67 plots of 30 m 2 demonstrated a great deal of heterogeneity related principally to differences in topography and drainage. Four distinct communities were recognized: dry cerradão, wet cerradão, wet forest and swampy forest. Comparison of an informal site classification based on field observations, showed a very high degree of coincidence with ordination and a hierarchical classification based on analysis of floristic, topographic and soil data from plots. A total of 89 species with individuals ≥3 cm basal diameter were recorded. Soil data for the plots are also presented.
