Evaluación y monitoreo de los procesos de restauración ecológica mediante el análisis de dinámicas de crecimiento en la Reserva Biológica el Encenillo

Abstract

This study focuses on the evaluation of ecological restoration in the Reserva Biológica El Encenillo - Guasca, Cundinamarca. Data from twelve plots were recorded, analyzing increments, growth rates, recruitment and mortality, as well as diameter classes, height, diameter, basal area, volume and canopy cover by species. Species such as Alnus acuminata, Cedrela montana and Verbesina crassiramea were identified with good development. Alnus acuminata and Verbesina crassiramea showed high survival, while others such as Dodonaeae viscosa and Cestrum parvifolium showed low survival. Photointerpretation of satellite images showed a positive increase in forest cover and a transition at both small and large scales.
