Estructura de las comunidades liquénicas y su relación de especificidad de forofitos en el bosque alto andino de los Cerros Sur Orientales de Bogotá D.C

Abstract

The present investigation refers to forest security in the Eastern Forest of Bogotá. In this area a systematic sampling was carried out in a transect of thousands of meters, in which 165 leaves of 33 phorophytes belonging to the families Ericaceae, Clusiaceae, melastomataceae and Dryopteridaceae (Elaphoglossum) were collected. 626 individuals of folicultural lichens were recognized, distributed in 9 genera, 6 families and 3 orders, with which the structure and composition of the foliar liquids present in the high mountain areas was recognized by Simpson and Shannon diversity indices. In addition, an analysis of the correspondence in the middle of the data of presence and absence has been made, with which it has been concluded that liquids do not have a preference for the phorophytes where they live.
