| Sumario: | The non-flooding forest formations of the Pantanal, locally known as cordilheiras and capões contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity. This study aimed to analyse the vegetation composition and vertical structure of two cordilheiras and one capão in the Pantanal’s Abobral sub-region, State of Mato Grosso do Sul. In the three sampled areas, the collection and identification of botanical material from the herbaceous, shrub/sub-shrub and arboreal strata and elaboration of vegetation pyramids were carried out. The formations showed characteristics of secondary forest, with distinct vertical structure and dynamics, influenced by the area management and occupation, such as the cattle ranching, fire events, and selective logging, indicating that, although apparently preserved, these areas are influenced by anthropic actions in their biogeographic dynamics. |
