This study aimed to analyze the influence of anthropogenic disturbance variables in two Urban Forest Reserves (FURB) in Pernambuco, in order to understand how these variables influence the diversity and structure of the tree community in fragments of different sizes. The study was carried out in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, at FURB Mata do Passarinho and FURB Mata de Dois Unidos. The structure of the tree component was studied using phytosociological parameters. Shannon and Simpson's diversity and Pielou's equability were also estimated, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Principal Component Analysis were used to analyse the variables. It was found that as the distance between the edge and the interior of the fragment increases, human interference decreases, with greater pressure from activities in areas closest to the edges of fragment. Thus, anthropogenic interference reduce the abundance and diversity of forest species and influences the mortality of tree species, causing differences between urban forest reserves due mainly to the size of the fragment, pointing out that Mata do Passarinho, because it is smaller, is more affected by the urban environment.
