The aim of this study was to characterize the floristic composition, structure and spatial distribution of tree species in an upland forest in the state of Amapá, Brazil. Dendrometric and floristic data were collected at 200 tertiary sampling units. It were analyzed data from trees with diameter at 1.30 m above soil level (DBH) ≥ 40 cm. Phytosociology, spatial distribution and Shannon diversity index were calculated. It were surveyed 4,030 individual trees, distributed in 37 families and 201 species. Goupia glabra (cupiúba) was the species with highest importance value (IV). The forest area presented characteristics of preserved forest. Sampling revealed that tree species occur with a higher proportion of species with random spatial distribution, however, the species with higher VI had aggregate distribution in the area.
