Efecto de la gradiente altitudinal sobre la composición florística, estructura y biomasa arbórea del bosque seco andino, Loja, Ecuador

Abstract: Efecto de la gradiente altitudinal sobre la composición florística, estructura y biomasa arbórea del bosque seco andino, Loja, EcuadorEffect of the altitudinal gradient in the floristic composition, structure and arboreal biomass of the Andean dry forest, Loja, Ecuador SUMMARY Dry forests are fragile ecosystems, developed in extreme climatic conditions that harbor a wealth of flora and fauna due to the influence of the Andes mountain range. This study aimed at analyzing the influence of altitude in floristic c… Show more

“…Fabaceae is a cosmopolitan family that accounts for a large amount of biomass in both wet and dry habitats (Cueva et al, 2019; Memiaghe et al, 2016) and its wood density is extremely variable (as was also recorded in this study). For example, in Chave et al (2006) study of wood density of 2456 Neotropical wood species, both the densest wood (1.39 g/cm 3 ) and lightest wood (0.11 g/cm 3 ) were Fabaceae.…”

“…Además de estos criterios, las diferencias contrastantes en riqueza, estructura y composición florística podrían explicarse por la heterogeneidad ambiental que existe, determinada fundamentalmente por las condiciones topográficas (pendiente y altitud) (Cueva et al, 2019) que propician la caída de muchos árboles y, por consiguiente, favorece las trayectorias sucesionales del bosque.…”

“…La composición arbórea y abundancia de la comunidad vegetal son factores clave al momento de estimar carbono almacenado en ecosistemas de bosque (Cueva et al 2019;Andrade-Castañeda et al 2017;Luyssaert et al 2008;Turner 2010;Clark y Clark 2000;Valencia et al 2004). En este sentido, Salas et al (2020) reportan una marcada similitud en la composición arbórea entre pisos altitudinales del "Bosque y vegetación protector El Artesan -Ecuado-rianHands" en Joa, siendo un hecho que podría explicar que el carbono almacenado en la biomasa aérea viva no difiere a lo largo del gradiente altitudinal del área.…”
