Abstract (en):
This work presents the floristic inventory of six areas of Tropical dry forest in Department of Atlántico and BolÃvar. The localities studied are priority areas for biodiversity conservation, maintenance of environmental services, and protection of archaeological values, landscape and / or tourism. There were a total of 314 species distributed in 232 genera and 73 families. Leguminosae is the family most represented in this study, with 61 species and 37 genera, followed Malvaceae (17/14) and Bignoniaceae (16/14). The habit better represented in species richness was trees (44%), followed by shrubs (21%) and herbs (16%). Between all plant species recorded, 20 have been evaluated under IUCNâs criterions, four of them, are included in the âendangeredâ category (EN): Aspidosperma polyneuron (carreto), Belencita nemorosa (calabacilla), Bulnesia arborea (guayacán) and Pachira quinata (ceiba roja). It is important to point out that 45 % of the plants have at least one known use in the region, which are linked with social, cultural and ecological process.
Abstract (es):
Se presenta el inventario florÃstico de seis localidades de bosque seco en los departamentos de Atlántico y BolÃvar en el Caribe colombiano. Las localidades estudiadas son zonas prioritarias para la conservación de la biodiversidad, el mantenimiento de servicios ambientales, protección de zonas con importancia arqueológica, paisajÃstica y/o turÃstica. Se registraron 314 especies de plantas distribuidas en 232 géneros y 73 familias. A nivel florÃstico la familia Leguminosae es la que presenta mayor riqueza, con 61 especies y 37 géneros, seguida de Malvaceae (17/14) y Bignoniaceae (16/14). El hábito o forma de vida mejor representada, en términos de riqueza de especies fue el de árboles (44 %), seguida de arbustos (21 %) y hierbas (16 %). Del total de especies registradas, 20 han sido evaluadas dentro de los criterios de la IUCN, para determinar su categorÃa de riesgo, de las cuales cuatro están incluidas dentro de la categorÃa âen peligroâ (EN): Aspidosperma polyneuron (carreto), Belencita nemorosa (calabacilla), Bulnesia arborea (guayacán) y Pachira quinata (ceiba roja). Se resalta el hecho de que el 45 % de las plantas registradas tiene al menos un uso conocido en la región, ligadas a procesos sociales, culturales y ecológicos.
