Árboles y arbustos nativos potenciales para reforestación en la Sierra Central, Ecuador

Abstract

Within the National Forest Restoration of the Ministry of Environment of Ecuador, the herbarium ESPOCH collaborated in verifying the names of the species that sent the GADPR (parish autonomous governments) in the provinces of Chimborazo, Cotopaxi and Tungurahua that would be used in mentioned plan, so that 17 forest species listings were processed, were registered 21 families, 26 genera and 49 species. The most sought after species is Alnus acuminata in all the GADPRR. The downside after analyzing the information generated is that, in most cases use the common name and with this sought the name of the species with the corresponding errors and correct what should have been based on the environmental characteristics of each GDPRR search the suitable species. It said it is important to correctly spelled the taxonomic names to avoid confusion; species should be generated from the environmental conditions of each of the GADPR and not the other species to use in must be exclusively native program as it tries to conserve what little we have and be using in first stage known or widely distributed species.
