Composición florística y estructura del bosque en la reserva Yakusinchis ubicada en el cantón La Mana, provincia de Cotopaxi.

This research was conducted in the native forest of the Yakusinchis reserve of the La Maná canton, province of Cotopaxi, with an area of 110 ha. The objectives of the research were to evaluate the floristic composition and structure of the Yakusinchis reserve forest. Two plots of 500 m² (50 m x 10 m) were established. In each plot, trees with DAP ≥ 10 cm were registered, the common name, characteristics and height of the species were registered; And the identification was done with a specialist in the identification of forest species in the area. A total of 64 individuals, equal to or greater than 10 cm of DAP, were included in 16 families, 18 genera, 18 species, and one without identifying their family, nor their scientific name. The most representative families were: Lauraceae, Lecythidaceae and Crhysobalanaceae. The most abundant species was Hirtella sp. (Guayuso) with 12 individuals while the species with the highest dominance was Ocotea sp. (Canelo) that represented 45.20%, with more relative frequency was found the Hirtella sp. With 18.75%, with the highest Import Value Index (IVI) was the Hirtella species. Sp. With a value of 44.17%. The largest number of trees found in the medium stratum (10-20 m) with a total of 47 individuals, and the top tier (>=20) with a total of 17 individuals. The value of the Shannon index indicates that the forest contains a low diversity of species, so we concluded in this research study that the native forest is in a state of natural regeneration.
