For this, we investigated the following questions: (i) does the initial composition of planted communities (distinct combination of ecological groups) af-fect the natural regeneration regarding functional composition (mean trait values), diversity (functional and taxonomic), and vegetation structure? (ii) Which functional traits of the planted community have the potential to promote or constrain natural regeneration Priority effects in conservative tree planting communities affect natu-ral regeneration, while functional convergence observed in acquisitive planting com-munities suggests the role of environmental filtering. Communities with low wood density, low C:N ratio, and high specific leaf area, which characterize an acquisitive resource-use strategy, exhibited higher functional and taxonomic diversity of naturalregeneration, leading to the desired trajectory in ecological restoration.  aEcological restoration  aEcological succession  aEcological filters  aFunctional composition1 aMANHÃES, A.
