Ecosistema de referencia, selección de especies clave y diseño de núcleos para restauración activa de áreas degradadas de RFP Vanguardia, Villavicencio

Abstract

In the Protectora Vanguardia forest reserve there are several impacts on the environment, due to the activities that are exhibited such as: urban and agricultural expansion, inappropriate land use and indiscriminate logging. This project, proposes a diagnostic proposal for the initial phase of restoration processes in the Protective Forest Reserve, for this, vegetation surveys were carried out within the reserve at two sites classified as dense forest, which have characteristics of the primary forest intervened , and fragmented forest, applying the methodology of Gentry, we proceeded to delineate and establish 16 transects of 50 x 2 m, where all the species were registered for characterization of the reference ecosystem, thus finding 216 species of tree, shrub and liana plants , which correspond to 58 families with 1203 individuals. As for the dispersion present in the reference ecosystem, it was mostly zoocoria and anemocoria. With the collection of these data, estimates of alpha and beta diversity were obtained through ecological indices and graphs of the distribution of the abundance of the species, achieving a classification in the life history features (RHV). Subsequently, an analysis of similarity in the composition and distribution of the abundances in the transects was carried out in order to serve as a basis for the conformation of the floristic arrangements and therefore the design of the nucleation.
