The present work was aims to realize ecologic studies in Seasonal Semideciduous Forest (initial and advanced forests) for manner to valuation the floristic composition and phytossociology, of correlations between soil factors and floristic variation, the litterfall, the seed rain and seed bank. The study was realized in Mata da Agronomia in Viçosa, MG (20°46 S e 42°52 W), individual trees with ≥ 15 cm circumference at breast height (DCH) were sampled in 20 - 25 x 10 m plots (10 plots in each site). On the sampled center was an installed quadrate litter trap with 1x1 m, where was monthly collect the material deposited between April/2007 and March/2008. Forty soil samples total in two distinct period (drought station finish and rainy station finish and arranged for germinate in wooden boxes (0,5 x 0,5 x 0,1 m) in shading of 60%. The soil samples were collected at 0-10 cm depth and submitted to chemical and physics analysis. The floristic lifting registered one total the 820 individuals were registered, once, 440 in the initial forest and 380 in the advanced forest. The families show up in richest in initial forest were Fabaceae (137), Urticaceae (45) and Sapindaceae (41) and advanced forest were Fabaceae (103), Meliaceae (49) e Flacourtiaceae (34). In the continuum the Shannon diversity index (H ) was 3.82 nat.ind.-1 and the Pielou evenness (J ) was 0.84. The initial and advanced forests revealed the low similarity among theses forests by Sorensen index. While, the canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated significant correlation between the trees species availed and the fertility chemical soil. The litter production annual in the initial forest (8,349.5 kg/ha) was superior signification of advanced forest production (6,712.8 kg/ha). On the seed rain study were recognized 84 taxa, where 41 species were identified distributed among 40 families in the initial forest and 24 species belonging to 13 families in advanced forest. The life form dominate was arborous and the dispersion syndrome was zoocory. Hundred nine taxa were sampled in the seed bank the forest altogether, 101 species were identified as belonging to 73 genera distributed among 40 families, 56 species commonness in two successional stages of forest and 49 species commonness of two levy period. The herbaceous individuals predomination in all forests and valuation epoch, whit not representation the fragility of the seed bank, by little quantity inhibitor herbaceous individuals in relation to overmuch herbaceous, arboreus and arbutus individuals wat contribute for successional dynamics.
