Assessment practices in forestry and their influence floristic composition light plant located in the Estación Ambiental de Tutunendo, Chocó, Colombia

Abstract

In order to determine the floristic composition, growth and development of forest species of special interest emerging in a vegetable course, within an area of 2.860 m2 11 quadrants were demarcated by a systematic selection, each quadrant with an area of 10x10 m for individuals latizal state and 2x2 m for individuals in brinzal state and thus determine this composition, uniformity, wealth, dominance and frequency of emerging plant species in the clear; as well as evaluate the effectiveness of silvicultural techniques that promote the growth and development of seedlings, conducted in a chronosequence 3 years (2011, 2012 and 2013), forestry species, their ecological, cultural and economic characteristics are called of particular interest, compared to the floristic composition of the year 2010 which were not applied any promotional technique. In this vein, it was possible to identify 373 individuals, distributed in 21 families, with a richness of 29 species and uniformity of 82% during the three years of monitoring; in the same way, in years 1 and 2 12 species are shared, year 1 and 3 share 14 species and year 2 and 3 share 23 species in common. All this indicates that the removal of plant species unwanted pruning training and maintenance, and thinning promote growth and development of forest species of special interest emerging in the plant clearly established and monitored in environmental station Alto San Juan.
