Resumo

This study aimed to analyze the diversity and the arboreal structure of the trees of the “Luiz de Queiroz” College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP) from a relational database in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative information, which is important to the conservation of the arboreal heritage and security of the population. Were registered 4867 trees belonging to 213 species and 56 plant families, especially Fabaceae, Arecaceae, Bignoniaceae and Myrtaceae. The species most frequently appeared were: Syagrus romanzoffiana (Cham.) Glassman, Caesalpinia pluviosa DC. and Tabebuia pentaphylla (L.) Hemsl. The diversity of species index proposed by Shannon-Wiener was 4.44, which is a satisfactory value; however, the species Rhamnidium elaeocarpum Reissek., Machaerium nyctitans (Vell. Conc.) Benth. and Trichilia catigua A. Juss. have demonstrated abundance on the regeneration, requiring management to ensure the sustainability and adequacy of the Garden, an ESALQ mark.
