We present here the diversity of vascular plants from the headwaters of the Gocta, Chinata and Yumbilla Falls, Amazonas region, Peru, 2012. 107 families, 279 genera and 509 species of vascular plants were registered. Pteridophyta presents 19 species in 14 genera and 10 families, Pinophyta, one species; and Magnoliophyta, 489 species in 264 genera and 96 families of this last division; 324 species, 194 genera and 80 families are included in the Magnoliopsida class and 165 species, 70 genera and 16 families are in the Liliopsida class. The Orchidaceae family is the most diverse, with 26 genera and 83 species, followed by the Asteraceae families, with 38 genera and 69 species and Poaceae, with 15 genera and 34 species. The most diverse genera are Epidendrum, with 25 species, followed by Peperomia and Solanum, with 11 species each. 54 species are endemic. The Asteraceae family is the one wit...

Ecological surrogates are environmental or biotic proxies for biodiversity quantification. Their application circumvents logistic constraints and taxonomic voids to sample and identify species, and has become an important tool in conservation and management. In this study, we illustrate a surrogate method using multivariate ordinations, and we apply it to tree data from the Chanchamayo montane forest (Andes, Peru).

This paper reviews the different indices used to describe and characterize the horizontal structure or spatial pattern in forest stands, with particular emphasis on those which have been applied to the study of tropical forests. These indices have been classified according to their data-inventory requirements. A number of aspects concerned with the statistical properties of the most commonly employed indices (Fisher and Morisita indices, LQV techniques and SADIE in the quadrats group; Clark-Evans, Pielou and Byth-Ripley in the nearest-neighbour group; The empirical L(d) and O-ring functions in the mapped data group) and their applicability to tropical stands, have been tested in experimental plots located in an Andean tropical forest.

The forest fragments or relict forests on the Western slopes of the Andes in northwest Peru and in south-west Ecuador are fragile ecosystems, which were largely continuous at some stage in the past. The importance and uniqueness of these forests as «refuges» and stable habitats roots partly in their complex diversity and their high levels of endemicity. These in turn are the outcome of a complex topography and ecology. In this introductory chapter 12 studies are analysed, which were presented at the Taller sobre Bosques Relictos de la Vertiente Occidental Andina del Norte del Perú y Sur del Ecuador in May 2004 at the X CONABOT, Trujillo-Perú. This helps to consolidate and update our knowledge on these over 20 forests fragments in northern Peru and two previously unknown fragments are presented for the first time: Bosque La Oscurana (Cajamarca) and Kañaris (Lambayeque). Some ideas ar...

In Kañaris (Lambayeque Department) there are enormous relic forests, probably the largest relic forests on the western slope of the Andes in Peru. They are very well preserved, but at the same time botanically virtually unexplored. These forests are found at elevations of 1500-3000 m in the highlands of Upaypiteq and the adjacent areas in the Cordillera Occidental on the atlantic slope [Shin Shin, San Lorenzo, Huacapampa, Pandachí, Gramalote, Walte, Mollepampa in the district of Kañaris (2300 m)] and on the Pacific slope [Chiñama and Luto]. The current study was undertaken with the aim of studying these forests with botanical sampling, and the life and structures of the components of the forests of Upaypiteq. The botanical specimens are the basis for progress and the pricipical forest components of the cloud forest are determined as members of: Lauraceae (Persea, Ocotea, Nectandra), ...

Los Andes están considerados como los puntos calientes más diversos de los trópicos, dentro de estos se encuentra el Parque Nacional del Manu, cuyas complejas condiciones climáticas y fisiográficas albergan una mega-diversidad y endemismo. En el presente trabajo se presenta una lista anotada de especies arbóreas y afines a lo largo de un gradiente de elevación desde los bosques submontanos a 800 m hasta la línea de bosque a 3625 m en la Reserva de Biosfera del Manu. En base a una red de 21 parcelas permanentes de una hectárea y exploraciones botánicas se sistematiza la información florística por rangos de elevación, distribución geográfica y endemismo. Estos resultados preliminares se traducen en 1108 especies de las cuales el 39.7% son morfoespecies, el 43% de las especies determinadas son registros nuevos para la región del Cusco, 15 especies son nuevos registros para l...

The tropical Andes and adjacent Amazon are Earth’s highest biodiversity hotspot. Manu National Park in southeastern Peru encompasses an entire watershed, ranging from Andean highlands to Amazonian lowlands, and is a megadiverse landscape on the Andes to Amazon transition. Here we present an annotated checklist of trees and related species is along an elevation gradient in the Manu Biosphere Reserve that runs from sub-montane forests at 800 m elevation up to the tree line at 3625 m. Based on a network of 21 1-hectare permanent tree plots and botanical explorations, the floristic information is systematized by elevation ranges, geographical distribution and endemism. These preliminary results show 1108 species. Of these, 43% are new records for the region of Cusco, 15 species are new records for the Peruvian flora, 40 species are endemics for Peru, and 30 are potential new species for sc...

One of the major challenges in ecology is to understand how ecosystems respond to changes in environmental conditions, and how taxonomic and functional diversity mediate these changes. In this study, we use a trait-spectra and individual-based model, to analyse variation in forest primary productivity along a 3.3 km elevation gradient in the Amazon-Andes. The model accurately predicted the magnitude and trends in forest productivity with elevation, with solar radiation and plant functional traits (leaf dry mass per area, leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentration, and wood density) collectively accounting for productivity variation. Remarkably, explicit representation of temperature variation with elevation was not required to achieve accurate predictions of forest productivity, as trait variation driven by species turnover appears to capture the effect of temperature. Our semi-mechanist...
