Estudio preliminar de la fenología de fructificación en la vegetación con frutos carnosos en un relicto de bosque suptropical premontano en la Vereda Marroquín, Corregimiento El Morro, Casanare

Abstract

A preliminary study of the phenology of fleshy fruits was carried out in a premontane forest relict in the village of Marroquín, Casanare. The species that were found to be fructifying in the study area along 8 phenological transects (6.4 Km X 8.4 m) were identified during 9 biweekly tours, between March and July 2016. We estimated the richness specific using the non-parametric models Chao 1 and Chao 2. The similarity between the 8 phenological transects and the altitudinal gradient was related. Some indicators of diversity were determined and comparisons were made between transects. Finally, an estimate of fruit production was obtained and expressed in terms of biomass (kg / ha). We found 35 families with 53 genera and a total of 65 species of plants with fruits; this work becomes a reference for later studies on the phenological patterns in the foot of mount of Casanare and in general, for the BhT.
