Abstract
Las orquídeas desempeñan roles ecológicos fundamentales en los ecosistemas. Sus raíces y rizomas capturan agua y nutrientes, creando sustratos para invertebrados, musgos, helechos y otras plantas, lo que incrementa la biodiversidad. Por consiguiente, el objetivo de la presente investigación es inventariar preliminarmente las orquídeas epífitas y terrestres en los ramales de Carpish y La Divisoria, Cordillera Azul, Leoncio Prado, Perú. El estudio adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo descriptivo y no experimental, centrado en el inventario de orquídeas sin manipulación de variables ambientales. Se identificaron un total de 98 especies de orquídeas, distribuidas en 60 epífitas (61,2%) y 38 terrestres (38,8%). Carpish alberga 62 especies (63,3% del total), mientras que La Divisoria registra 63 (64,3%), con 27 especies (27,6%) compartidas entre ambas regiones. Los resultados de la presente investigación confirman que los bosques nublados de la Cordillera Azul albergan una diversidad excepcional de orquídeas, caracterizada por una notable riqueza específica y genérica.
ABSTRAC Orchids play fundamental ecological roles in ecosystems. Their roots and rhizomes capture water and nutrients, creating substrates for invertebrates, mosses, ferns, and other plants, which increases biodiversity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to preliminarily inventory the epiphytic and terrestrial orchids in the Carpish and La Divisoria branches, Cordillera Azul, Leoncio Prado, Peru. The study adopted a descriptive quantitative and non-experimental approach, focused on the inventory of orchids without manipulation of environmental variables. A total of 98 orchid species were identified, distributed as 60 epiphytic (61.2%) and 38 terrestrial (38.8%). Carpish hosts 62 species (63.3% of the total), while La Divisoria records 63 (64.3%), with 27 species (27.6%) shared between both regions. The results of this research confirm that the cloud forests of the Cordillera Azul harbor an exceptional diversity of orchids, characterized by remarkable specific and generic richness.
