Es de gran conocimiento que los bosques del Oeste Amazónico son uno de los más diversos del mundo. Pero también es conocido su gran expansión, y complejidad, razón por la cual existen zonas que aun no han sido muy exploradas. Con el propósito de obtener información que ayude a conseguir un mayor conocimiento de nuestra flora local, realizamos un inventario de árboles en dos parcelas de 1 ha cada una. La zona escogida fue la Estación Biológica Quebrada Blanco (120 km al suroeste de Iquitos), dedicada exclusivamente al estudio de primates. Como resultado: 1087 individuos  10 cm de dap, 294 especies, 130 géneros y 44 familias fueron reportados. Se obtuvo un área basal máxima de 25.93 m2/ha. Fabaceae, Lecythidaceae y Chrysobalanaceae, fueron las familias más abundantes y dominantes, mientras que a nivel de especies estuvieron Eschweilera coriacea y Oenocarpus bataua. Así mi...

The survival of species in a seasonally flooded forest leads to a better understanding of strategies for conservation and ecological restoration. This paper reports species tolerant to flooded areas by evaluating the survival of species planted for forest restoration. Of the seventeen species studied, five showed high potential for use in seasonally flooded forest restoration. In general, the species P. munguba, C. tapia, H. crepitans, S. reticulata and M. dubia had a survival rate higher than 50%. S. reticulata had the highest survival with 91,1% in non‑submergence conditions. However, C. tapia (65,6%) and M. dubia (52,8%) tolerated greater submergence. The survival of plants is directly related to characteristics of adaptation to periods and levels of flooding, which is also conditioned by the heterogeneous microtopography of Amazonian flooded forests.
