Inventory of the secondary vegetable succession in the pastaza province, Ecuador

Abstract:

The biological diversity has been recognized at national and international level as a fundamental element for the development of conservation plans. For it, the objective of the present work was to inventory the secondary vegetable succession in the Pastaza province, Ecuador. The work was developed in the Research Center, Posgrate and Conservation of the Amazon State University, located in the km. 44 road Puyo. Parcels of 20 x rose 20 m (400 m2), with the use of a GPS RTK precision of 1 cm, double frequency, 72 channels, GPS + GLONASS, receiver-100 Hz, integrated cellular telephone, 806 MHz X Scale, tactile screen; integrated camera and compass. For the determination of the resulting species of the secondary vegetable succession in a deteriorated area, you proceeded with the preliminary botanical identification in the field and you confirmed with the appropriate literature. The results show that in the environment that corresponds to the tropical humid forest the registered flora it included 57 families, 123 goods and 148 species, the families with more wealth Fabaceae, Moraceae and Myristicaceae with 19, 17 and 10, respectively that represented 79,3% of the total. On the other hand, 33 families for the 56,9 were represented alone for a species and the rest, 24 families with two or integraler, they represented 40,1%.
