Abstract

Studies on urban afforestation are of paramount importance considering their benefits to the social welfare and the fauna and flora present in a place. This work aims to characterize the urban afforestation of Iara district, Barro, Ceará, highlighting the presence of Indian neem (Azadirachta indica). The execution of the research was developed through bibliographic research and field study. The results were shown in a table and showed that most of the trees present in the study area are of exotic species, in which the species that contains more individuals is that of Indian neem (Azadirachta indica, followed by canafistula (Cassia fistula) and mesquite (Prosopisjuliflora) Other options for urban afforestation with native species of the Caatinga biome are indicated, and it is concluded that a reflection should be made about planted species, where the cultivation of native species should be prioritized.
