Análisis de cobertura en bosque secundario del Refugio Nacional Vida Silvestre Mixto Conchal, Costa Rica

This study shows the behavior of passive regeneration in secondary dry forest Conchal Mixed Wildlife Refuge. Whosepurpose was to characterize floristic composition seedlings and saplings determine structure potentialcomposition ecosystem within For measurement tall stilts (5 cm ≤ d 9.9 cm), 90 PermanentSampling Plots (PPM) 10 m x (100 m2) each were evaluated for low (height ≥ 1.5 < 5 ) (25m²) recording units installed, 2 plots (0.3 height <1.5 m). Regarding latizales, all theindividuals measured identified, one classified according its condition, crown exposure, canopy, crownshape abundance lianas; seedlings, only species present identified quantified. Lowdiversity is found high where such as Trichilia martiana Guazuma ulmifolia have a ecologicalweight due their percentages abundance, dominance frequency. In latizales speciesMalvaviscus arboreus most abundant site. The execution silvicultural techniques (refinement, devitalization,enrichment release) active restoration are required increase diversity species.
