Abstract
Aiming to provide primary data to be used in restoration programs, data from a floristic and phytosociological survey at a Submontane Ombrophilous Dense Forest remnant around Sao Bento river dam (Sideropolis municipality, Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil) are presented. All tree individuals with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 5 cm were recorded (1 ha plot). 1,715 individuals belonging to 107 species and 42 botanical families were identified. Euterpe edulis Mart., Casearia sylvestris Sw. and Bathysa australis (St.-Hil.) K.Schum. were the species with higher values of structural importance. High index of zoophily and zoochory were registered among the identified species. From the floristic composition and litter abundance, it can be assumed that the studied area corresponds to an advanced stage of natural regeneration
Highlights
O Brasil possui a flora mais rica do mundo, quase 19% da flora mundial, considerado como um dos hotspots mundiais, ou seja, uma das prioridades para conservação da biodiversidade em todo o mundo, especialmente na Mata Atlântica (MYERS et al, 2000)

Summary
Biological Sciences continuam a se depauperar devido à retirada de lenha, ao corte ilegal de madeira, à captura de plantas e animais sem um controle legal e a introdução de espécies exóticas. Adicionalmente, a construção de represas, principalmente para a produção de energia hidrelétrica, contribuiu substancialmente para a perda de habitats em todo planeta, inclusive no Brasil (GALINDO-LEAL; CÂMARA, 2005)
