This study aimed to evaluate stump regrowth and estimate the reconstitution of shrub-tree biomass from the stumps in an area of Caatinga under forest management in Floresta-PE, Brazil.The circumferences and heights of the stump and sprouts were measured two years after an intervention on 18 plots.The influence of the stump diameter and its height on the sprouting ability of the species was evaluated.Data was taken in the next area without intervention in order to estimate the diameter at breast height for reconstitution of the exploited biomass.We found that the tillering for Poincianella bracteosa and Aspidosperma pyrifolium was influenced by the size of the circumference, but not by the stump height.The average estimated biomass (17186.16kg ha -1 ) was similar to other areas also subject to human intervention, and its reconstitution can be an auxiliary tool for monitoring illegal deforestation by environmental agencies.
