Resumen (es):
Este artículo caracteriza la anatomía de la madera de Cassipourea guianensis, Qualea lineata y Goupia glabra, especies de árboles del Chocó biogeográfico, y la compara la de individuos que crecen en bosques menos lluviosos del Neotrópico. Los resultados indican que las tres especies difieren en densidad, diámetro y longitud de los elementos de vaso. Todas presentan vasos que van de solitarios a múltiples, lo que sugiere estrategias contrastantes de adquisición y uso del agua. Este estudio busca fortalecer el conocimiento sobre las especies arbóreas tropicales, con miras a su gestión sostenible y a futuras investigaciones.
Resumen (en):
This study characterizes the wood anatomy of Cassipourea guianensis, Qualea lineata, and Goupia glabra, tree species from the Chocó biogeographic region, and compares it with that of individuals growing in less rainy Neotropical forests. The results indicate that the three species differ in density, diameter, and length of vessel elements. All exhibit vessels ranging from solitary to multiple, suggesting contrasting strategies for water acquisition and use. This study aims to strengthen knowledge of tropical tree species to support their sustainable management and future research.
