Many areas in the Caatinga result from the interaction between man and his environment. As a result, some phytosociological studies compared the floristic composition of areas with different stages of secondary succession. From these surveys, the question is: high density Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz areas of secondary vegetation of caatinga relates to the regeneration strategies of initial species and the absence or low density of Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm relates to the strategies of regeneration secondary species ? To answer this question , it has been hypothesized that the strategies of regeneration Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz are initial species and the Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm of late species. To test this hypothesis the study aims to characterize the occurrence of two species in a tropical dry forest of Brazil (Caatinga) about the strategies for natural regeneration in ecological succession. For this work is divided into three chapters, in which the two species was studied in chapter 1 biometrics of fruits and seeds, in Chapter 2 we evaluated the germination process at different temperatures and in the presence and absence of light and in Chapter 3 evaluated the allocational plasticity of young plants subjected to a gradient shading. The results of biometrics seeds and allocational plasticity reinforce the hypothesis that Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz is an early species and that Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm a late species. The results show that temperature and light alternating temperature does not reply to corroborate with the highest occurrence of Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz in areas where initial and final stage of secondary succession and Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm germinates more in the dark than in the presence for the temperatures 15 , 20 and 25 º C. The allocational plasticity was higher in Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz and Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm demosntrou be more tolerant of shade, which helps to maintain that initial Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P.Queiroz is a species and that Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Sm is a late species.
