Capacidad de regeneración natural de especies forestales en la Reserva Ecológica Arenillas

Abstract

The tropical dry forest plays a very important role through its forest species, which provide environmental goods and services to society. Under this argument, this research project aims to determine the state of abundance in natural regeneration with forest species of the REAR, based on technical and scientific information, which is made up of three chapters. In the first chapter, the problems of the area where the research was developed were analyzed, then methodological techniques such as sampling were used to identify the forest species under study, with the use of dasometric variables, height and diameter were measured for each individual, as well as The relative abundance was calculated, resulting in a total of 64.57% guayacán, being the species with the highest natural regeneration. In the second chapter, an integrating proposal was proposed that will help counteract the problem of deforestation and agricultural expansion, through a forest nursery to produce native endemic species in the reserve, this mitigation measure leads to conserving the environment, with the purpose to carry out reforestation programs and raise awareness among the population. As the third and last chapter we have the feasibility that consists of the technical analysis of the proposal, which is given through the implementation process of the forest nursery, which will be financed by public government institutions, in the social area, a SWOT matrix was applied that will allow us to know the main characteristics of the proposed proposal, environmentally it is feasible because it will help reduce the socio-environmental problems that occur in the reserve, this was done with the use of the pressure, state and response method. To carry out these feasibility analyses, it was based on all the structural components to define a methodological schedule that serves as the basis for having a technical and systematized guide in the proposed proposal. Recommending in such a way that the structure of the design of a forest nursery within the REAR be complied with, where the main people in charge of monitoring and follow-up are the park rangers, proposing alternatives to public entities to continue with the reforestation plan mainly in the areas where most plant cover has been lost due to anthropogenic activities. Also considering that within this proposal it is possible to continue with research or studies by professionals in the field to learn in depth the natural regeneration processes of some representative species within the Arenillas Ecological Reserve. Training talks will be given to the technicians in charge and to people interested in collaborating with the project so that the care of the species is adequate. It is important to emphasize that during the investigative process it was taken into account that anthropic activities lead to social and environmental problems such as the decrease of forest species due to the felling of trees and the increase in agricultural productivity, this alters the natural regeneration process of individuals, populations and plant
