SUMMARY:

One of the key recognized aspects for achieving sustainability in forest management, biodiversity conservation, and responsible use of natural resources in the Amazon is the improvement of botanical identification in forest inventories. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the efficiency of tree botanical determination using dendrological methods and tools, thereby contributing to the sustainable use of managed forests. The study area is the UMF V located in the Paru State Forest (FLOTA) in Monte Alegre municipality. Botanical material was collected from the most voluminous species known by their common names for commercial purposes in the area. Samples were collected from a minimum of 5 different trees per species. Based on the identification of collected species, the accuracy level of species determination commonly traded in the state of Pará was assessed, including cases where different species are grouped under the same common name, as well as morphological differences among these species. It was observed that errors in determination mostly occur at the species level, where common names group different species from the same genus and family that are not listed in the forestry inventory of the responsible management company. This reinforces the need for improvements in botanical identification in forest management based on the morphological characteristics of each species.
