Experiencia sensorial para el reconocimiento de las adaptaciones de las plantas a los diferentes ecosistemas ubicados en el tropicario del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá.

Abstract

Plants, like the rest of living beings, have the ability to adapt to the environmental pressures in which they find themselves. These adaptations that are generated at a physiological and morphological level allow them to develop, reproduce and fulfill their function in the food web optimally, within a specific ecosystem. Since there is a diversity of ecosystems, there is also a diversity of plants throughout the planet. (Jardi Botanic, s.f). All these adaptations caused thanks to evolution and external pressures are important to know, because they allow us to understand why a genus or species of plants is found in one environment and not in the other, and, therefore, why it is The conservation and permanence of that vegetation in the ecosystem is important. Over the years, the teaching of Biology has been limited to the observation of living beings and the repetition of concepts that people usually do not understand, which causes the loss of spaces where people are in contact. directly with their environment and therefore loses interest in the world that surrounds them and the importance of preserving it when they reach adulthood, which is why we sought, from other unconventional spaces, such as the Tropicario, generate sensory experiences other than knowledge focused on observation, for the recognition of the adaptations of plants to different ecosystems and their importance.
