Experiencia ambiental para la caracterización general de estructuras celulares y morfológicas en musgos de bosque húmedo tropical para visitantes del tropicario del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis

Abstract

Bryophytes, mainly mosses, are a little-studied and recognized group of plants that provide multiple services in the ecosystems where they are found, since, being poikilohydric organisms, they have the retention capacity and release water, regulating its disposition in In addition, the substrate, having low lignin concentrations and a thin cuticle, is highly sensitive to environmental changes, for example, low air or water quality, presence of heavy metals, etc.

Therefore, taking into account their importance and little recognition of these plants, the environmental experience "Musing in the JBBJCM" is designed, accompanied by the design of a catalog arranged in QR, implemented for visitors to the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá in the educational component of the Tropicario, since, being a space for non-conventional education, it allows the approach of knowledge adapted to the public outside the academy, through significant experiences, with the purpose of encouraging its study, conservation and appropriation of environmental knowledge.
