Abstract
Se midió el coeficiente de conducción térmica de trozos de corteza de keñua (Polylepis tarapacana), provenientes de distintos lugares de la Cordillera de Los Andes, para poder comparar con datos climáticos y meteorológicos, buscando correlaciones entre los estímulos ambientales y algún mecanismo de defensa. Se encontró un método alternativo para clasificar las muestras por su lugar de origen
The keñua tree (Polylepis tarapacana), found at 5200 m a.s.l. in the Andes Mountains, grows at the highest treeline in the world. We measured the thermal conduction coefficient of keñua bark samples taken from different locations within the Andes Mountains. These measurements were used to find a correlation between environmental inputs and high altitude plant defence mechanisms. We found a new classification method to identify the origin of plant samples
