The interventions in the environment performed by humans in recent decades have changed the landscape and the natural ecosystems were reduced to fragments, which are now considered to be a shelter for the biodiversity that still exists. The present work behind the data obtained from a study conducted in four corridors located in the municipality of Paulista, SP, which connect different forest fragments amidst an eucalyptus matrix. These corridors are linear strips of land that were part of the eucalyptus plantation, where since 2002, a natural regeneration process is in course. We conducted a rapid ecological survey in the central corridors, and individuals exhibiting height ≥ 1.30 m were sampled in 268 plots of 20 x 25 m, covering an area of 13.4 ha. In total 11,111 individuals were recorded, distributed in 154 species, 100 genera and 47 families. Fabaceae and Myrtaceae were the richest families. The proximity of forest remnants affected the composition, density and richness of the natural regenerated areas. There was mostly greater similarity inside each corridor, and the observed variations in similarity were gradual among contiguous plots
