Abstract
Se estudió dos áreas del Cerrado sensu stricto, del centro (estancia Cacarachi) y sur (Tucavaca) de la Chiquitanía (E de Bolivia), con el objetivo de comparar la estructura, composición y diversidad arbórea. Para este fin, se instaló una parcela permanente de muestreo de 1 ha para cada área, registrando todos los individuos ≥ 10 cm de DAP. Se analizó la frecuencia, abundancia, dominancia e Índice de Valor de Importancia por familias y especies. La diversidad fue calculada con los índices de Shannon Wiener y Simpson y se estimó la riqueza de especies con los modelos de CHAO 2 y BOOTSTRAP. La similitud cualitativa y cuantitativa fue calculada con el índice de Jaccardy de Sørensen. Los resultados indicaron que las familias con mayor IVF en Cacarachi son Dilleniaceae, Anacardiaceae y Fabaceae y en Tucavaca: Sapindaceae, Bignoniaceae y Oleaceae. Las especies con mayor IVI en Cacarachi son Curatella americana y Astronium fraxinifolium y en Tucavaca fueron Magonia pubescens, Tabebuia aurea, Linociera hassleriana y Astronium fraxinifolium, estos dos grupos de especies representan más del 70% del IVI total de sus respectivas áreas, siendo determinantes para la fisionomía en cada comunidad vegetal. En Cacarachi, la distribución de individuos por clase diamétrica fue normal y equilibrada, en cambio en Tucavaca fue desproporcional, posiblemente debido a las quemas anuales a la que está sometida. Los estimadores de riqueza indicaron que se registró a más del 80% de las especies calculadas para 1 ha por cada sitio, siendo Tucavaca la más diversa (H´= 1.8, λ= 4.3).
We studied two areas of the Cerrado sensu stricto, middle (Cacarachi) and south (Tucavaca) of Chiquitanía (western Bolivia), in order of compare the structure, composition and tree diversity. To this end, we installed a permanent sample plot of 1 ha for each area, registering all individuals ≥ 10 cm dbh. We analyzed the frequency, abundance, dominance and Importance Value Index by families and species. Diversity was calculated using the Shannon Wiener and Simpson index, and estimated species richness with models of CHAO 2 and BOOTSTRAP. The qualitative and quantitative similarity was calculated with the Jaccard and Sørensen index. The results indicated that families with more IVF in Cacarachi are Dilleniaceae, Anacardiaceae and Fabaceae, and Sapindaceae, while in Tucavaca are Bignoniaceae and Oleaceae. The species with the highest IVI in Cacarachi are Curatella americana and Astronium fraxinifolium, and in Tucavaca: Magonia pubescens, Tabebuia aurea, Linociera hassleriana and Astronium fraxinifolium, these two groups of species represent more than 70% of the total IVI of their respective areas, to be decisive for determining physiognomy in each vegetal community. In Cacarachi, the distribution of individuals per diameter class was normal and equilibrated, while in Tucavaca it was disproportionate, possibly due to annual burning to which it is subjected. The richness estimates indicated that there was more than 80% of species calculated for 1 ha for each site, with Tucavaca being the most diverse (H '= 1.8, λ = 4.3).
