Competencia espacial de las especies Pseudosamanea Guachapele K, Swietenia Macrophylla K Y Cedrela Odorata L en el bosque siempreverde Piemontano del Cerro Mil Pesos Quiroga-Manabí

The objective of this research was to evaluate the intraspecific competition between the guachapeli (Pseudosamanea guachapele k), mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla k) and cedar (Cedrela odorata l) in the spatial distribution of the tropical Piedmont Evergreen Forest of the Thousand Weights hill in Quiroga, for this purpose the area and the existing tree species in the study site were characterized by means of a technical visit in situ with which the places of access to the site were known, as a result, a total of 140 individuals were obtained, 86 belong to Pseudosamanea guachapele k, 44 Cedrela odorata l and 10 Swietenia macrophylla k, the average height of the species was 16 - 23 m. The spatial distribution was also determined, where the species Pseudosamanea guachapele had an index of importance value of 131.73% within the floristic community. The results obtained showed that the Simpson and Shannon-Weaver diversity indexes establish that there is a good diversity of species. The MorisitaHorn index indicated that the spatial distribution of species has an aggregate pattern, where the intermediate shrublands predominate with 6.72. Finally, the interspecific competition between species showed that Pseudosamanea guachapele is the dominant, because it has a greater presence of individuals, followed by Cedrela odorata, and Swietenia acrophylla which presented a lower number of individuals, reaching the lowest competition, this shows that the spatial distribution influences the interspecific competition between species.
