Structure and diversity of the semi-humid forest in the Guayacán community, La América parish, Jipijapa, Ecuador

The structure of tree vegetation allows for the analysis of forest strata (vertical structure) and the distribution of abundance by diameter classes (horizontal structure), providing key information on forest dynamics. This study aimed to describe the composition and the vertical and horizontal stru...

description The structure of tree vegetation allows for the analysis of forest strata (vertical structure) and the distribution of abundance by diameter classes (horizontal structure), providing key information on forest dynamics. This study aimed to describe the composition and the vertical and horizontal structure of the semi-humid forest in the Guayacán community, La América Parish, Jipijapa, Ecuador. Six sampling plots were established, where 99 tree individuals were recorded, belonging to 30 species and 16 botanical families. Fabaceae stood out as the richest family, contributing 10 species. The analysis of diameter and height distributions revealed a predominance of young trees and few mature individuals, suggesting a forest in a regeneration stage. Among the species with the highest ecological importance were Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees, Cordia eriostigma Pittier, and Cordia alliodora (Ruiz & Pav.) Cham., while species with the lowest ecological importance included Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston, Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp., and Persea americana Mill. In terms of diversity, the site showed medium diversity according to the dominant species. However, alpha diversity indexes, such as Margalef and Shannon-Wiener, reflected high species diversity, highlighting the richness of the studied semi-humid ecosystem.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir la composición y la estructura vertical y horizontal del bosque semihúmedo de la comunidad Guayacán, parroquia La América, Jipijapa, Ecuador. Para ello, se establecieron seis parcelas de muestreo, donde se registraron 99 individuos arbóreos, pertenecientes a 30 especies y 16 familias botánicas. Fabaceae destacó como la familia con mayor riqueza, aportando 10 especies. El análisis de las distribuciones diamétrica y altimétrica evidenció un predominio de árboles jóvenes y pocos individuos en estado de madurez, lo que sugiere un bosque en etapa de regeneración. Entre las especies con mayor importancia ecológica se identificaron Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees, Cordia eriostigma Pittier, y Cordia alliodora (Ruiz y Pav.) Cham., mientras que las de menor importancia incluyeron Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston, Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp., y Persea americana Mill. En términos de diversidad, el sitio mostró una diversidad media según las especies dominantes. Sin embargo, los índices de diversidad alfa, como Margalef y Shannon-Wiener, reflejaron una alta diversidad específica, destacando la riqueza del ecosistema semihúmedo estudiado.Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí Manuel Félix López2025-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/ziphttps://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/54510.51260/1390597X.545Revista ESPAMCIENCIA; Vol. 16 Núm. 1 (2025): REVISTA ESPAMCIENCIA 2025; 41-491390-8103reponame:Revistas Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabíinstname:Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabíinstacron:ESPAMspahttps://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/545/1006https://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/545/1007https://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/545/1008http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-09-08T17:41:13Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/545Institucionalhttp://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttp://www.espam.edu.ec/http://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador.1390-81031390-597Xopendoar:02025-09-08T17:41:13Revistas Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí - Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabífalse
