The Alluvial Forest occurs along the margins of watercourses, as well as in wet lowlands and temporarily flooded zones. This study established correlations between the arboreal vegetation and environmental variables, to discover the main factors that influence the species distribution in fragments of the urban Alluvial Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (Guarapuava, Paraná, Brazil). The floristic survey was conducted in three transects (subdivided into 42 sample subunits of 100 m2), covering the water gradient across the riverbed. The tree species that presented Diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 5 cm were measured and identified. The variables measured were: piezometric level, volumetric and gravimetric soil moisture, penetration resistance, and chemical and granulometric soil analysis. The species abundance data were processed using the multivariate technique TWINSPAN, with subsequent phytosociological analysis; the environmental variables were then correlated with the abundance data (ind ha-1) through the Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Four groups were formed: (1) well drained soils; (2) moderately drained soils (intermediate characteristics); (3) soils with water saturation and (4) soils with greater hydromorphy. Subunits with higher water influence showed the lowest diversity values and the highest dominance values. The canonical correspondence analysis showed that the distribution of Gymnanthes klotzschiana, Ligustrum lucidum, and Allophylus edulis are related to soil water saturation, while the distribution of Matayba elaeagnoides and Ocotea puberula is correlated with well drained soils. The other species showed a preference for moderately drained soils. The groups separated the species according to environmental characteristics, indicating that hydromorphism influences the establishment of the forest community.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
