| description | From the plant collections and personal records made by the author in the dry forests of Valle del Cauca between 1992 and 2012, presents an analysis of current status of the flora and dry forests in the region. After reviewing nearly 12.000 records of herbal plants Valley dry forests and explored the key areas, the current membership consists of approximately 1.300 species of vascular plants, of which 255 correspond to trees. Epiphytes and trees are the groups most affected by deforestation, and on which it is possible to better understand how they have impacted natural ecosystems in Valle del Cauca, is also on them that can more effectively focus conservation actions that generate a positive impact. It also presents a list of 936 plant species of the dry forests, the largest so far presented, and which contains information on habits, distribution, abundance, threats, habitat and type of dispersion. This work aims to contribute to knowledge and design of strategies for conservation and restoration of these ecosystems. |
