Análisis de la diversidad florística del sector El Tarquino de la parroquia El Triunfo, cantón Patate, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

In the province of Tungurahua, Patate Canton, El Triunfo Parish, there is El Tarquino sector, in which there is an impact on the natural ecosystem, due to the increase in the human population and the extension of agricultural frontiers, it has caused losses of biodiversity to be arable lands, modifying the structure of the soil, therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the floristic diversity for conservation purposes in El Tarquino sector, Parroquia el Triunfo, Cantón Patate, Province of Tungurahua. 10 transitory quadrants of 25 square meters were installed, it was divided into sub-quadrants of 1m x 1m, obtaining 25 sub-quadrants, in the established quadrants of 1m x 1m, it was subdivided into cells of 10cm x 10cm, this allowed the collection of the vegetables species and data from the sub quadrant, for data analysis the diversity indices, Shannon, Simpson and Sorensen are used. 34 samples of species corresponding to 15 families, 31 genera, 34 species and 2134 individuals were analyzed, the most relevant species with 51.33% is Calamagrostis intermedia, the most representative families are Asteraceae, Poaceae, Rosaceace, the plot with the greatest richness obtained was plot 9 with 11 families, 20 genera and 22 species. According to the Shannon index, all plots have medium diversity, the Sorensen index indicates that the plots are moderately similar. It is concluded that the moor of El Tarquino sector shows that plot 9 and 5 presented greater floristic richness, being characterized mainly by the Asteraceae and Poaceae families, new alternatives are proposed to avoid disturbance in the moor of El Tarquino sector. It is recommended to carry out an analysis of the propagation of species that have presented lower i.v.i, this will allow the classification of endemic and invasive species to reforest disturbed spaces and promote specific measures for conservation.
