Descripción
Los ecosistemas de montaña están sometidos a diversos factores de perturbación que requieren el desarrollo de procesos de restauración ecológica, orientados a su recuperación estructural y funcional. En este estudio se analizaron los atributos funcionales de las especies vegetales de ocho especies vegetales incorporadas en áreas piloto de investigación en restauración ecológica presentes en Bogotá. Se registró el área foliar (AF), área foliar específica (AFE), contenido foliar de materia seca (CFMS), densidad de madera (dB), altura máxima (Hmax) y hábito de crecimiento de Ageratina aristei, Abatia parviflora, Baccharis latifolia, Myrcianthes leucoxyla, Solanum oblongifolium, Vallea stipularis, Viburnum triphyllum y Xylosma spiculifera. Se encontraron tres grupos funcionales, los cuales presentan características de especies exclusivamente adquisitivas o adquisitiva-conservativa, lo que sugiere diferentes mecanismo y estrategias y mecanismos de adaptación a las condiciones de recuperación de las áreas perturbadas.
Mountain ecosystems are subject to various factors of disturbance, therefore different ecological restoration processes should be developed for achieving their structural and functional recovery. In this study, we analyzed the functional attributes of eight plant species used in ecological restoration research areas in Bogotá. Leaf area (AF), leaf area of dry matter (CFMS), wood density (dB), maximum height (Hmax) and growth habit of Ageratina aristei, Abatia parviflora, Baccharis latifolia, Myrcianthes leucoxyla, Solanum oblongifolium, Vallea stipularis, Viburnum triphyllum and Xylosma spiculifera were quantified. Three plant functional groups were found with exclusive characteristics of acquisitive or acquisitive - conservative species, suggesting different mechanisms and strategies of adaptation for the recovery of disturbed areas.
