Composición florística e índice de valor de importancia en la parcela permanente de monitoreo N° 2 Maronita, en la zona de amortiguamiento del Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul, Región Huánaco, Perú

Abstract

The limited information on the plant species that constitute various forests in the Peruvian Amazon led to an evaluation of the floristic composition and importance value index in the permanent monitoring plot Nº 2 Maronilla in the buffer zone of the Cordillera Azul National Park, Huánuco Region. For this, permanent monitoring plot Nº 2 (100 m x 100 m) located in the Maronilla village of the Pucayacu district, Leoncio Prado province, Huánuco region was installed. The characteristics of the fustales (DAP ≥ 10 cm and ≤ 39.9 cm) and mature trees (DAP ≥ 40 cm) were identified, counted and measured. In the results, it was obtained that 640 individuals were found that were framed in 37 families, 98 genera and 180 species, of which the Moraceae and Urticaceae families were abundant, and in the case of the species they were Pouteria reticulata and Eschweilera coriaceae. Among the species that achieved the highest ecological value were Pseudolmedia macrophylla (Moraceae), Inga alba and Cedrelinga cateniformis (Fabaceae), Protium sagotianum and Protium aracouchini (Burseraceae), Pourouma minor and Cecropia sciadophylla (Urticaceae), Pouteria reediculata (Sapotaceae) and Ocotea marmellensis (Lauraceae). It is concluded that the floristic composition and the importance value index of said wooded area register high values of the area.
