Survey of Urban Afforestation in Alagoas municipalities

Abstract

Despite the benefi ts provided by urban afforestation, its planning has been neglected within the planning of some Brazi-

lian cities. This since the use of specifics problems some restrictions to the environment and the restricted use of species,

mainly as they are restricted. In this context, the present study sought to carry out a survey of the urban arbo-shrub flora

already propagated in the municipalities of Alagoas and thus, draw a profi le of the species that determine the urban flora

of the state. For that, a bibliographic review was carried out: in the period of different databases from 2010-2021 using

the keywords of urban aff orestation, Alagoas, urban vegetation of streets and parks and aff orestation. Origin, family, me-

soregion (phytogeographic domain) of each species were observed. From the data it was detected that the municipalities

of Alagoas have surveys of urbanfl ora. And a total of 31 families and 99 species were found, of these 4 are undetermined

and 48 are exotic and 47 are native. The most representative species of urban flora in the state were: Ficus benjamina L.,

Roystonea oleracea O. F. Cook, Tabebuia aurea Benth. & Hook. f ex S. Moore, Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart. ex

DC.) Mattos and Prosopis julifl ora (Sw.) DC.
