State of the art, propagation and conservation of Juglans neotropica Diels., in Andean zones
The species of the family Juglandaceae have evolved along 56 million years, being distributed all over the world. Juglans neotropica is native to South America; it is found from 1800 m to 2800 m in altitude, in dry and humid low montane forests. It is a species of alternate composite leaves, monoeci...

| description | The species of the family Juglandaceae have evolved along 56 million years, being distributed all over the world. Juglans neotropica is native to South America; it is found from 1800 m to 2800 m in altitude, in dry and humid low montane forests. It is a species of alternate composite leaves, monoecious, with cross-pollination and anemophilous, dispersed by animals and water, with annual reproduction. Currently, it is cataloged in danger of extinction (EN A2cd) since 52% of its populations are over exploited for purposes of producing timber. The uses of the species make it promising; its wood is one of the most valuable in the world because of the fact that active substances with potential for the textile industry, medicine and human food have been found in all of its parts; it has been used as an excellent source of firewood in rural areas. This species is key in the adaptation to the climate change because of its environmental services in the ecological recovery of degraded soils, and for maintaining the quality of air and water under agroforestry systems that, at the same time, are a habitat and source of food resources for wildlife. Also it is important as ornamental in urbanized Andean landscapes. Because of all those arguments, a propagation proposal is made as a conservation measure in Andean zones, based on documented studies for the species. |

Las especies de la familia Juglandaceae han evolucionado desde hace 56 millones de años, distribuyéndose por todo el mundo. Juglans neotropica es originaria de América del Sur y se encuentra entre 1800 m y 2800 m de altitud, en bosques secos y húmedos montanos bajos. Es una especie de hojas compuestas alternas, monoica, con polinización cruzada y anemófila, dispersada por animales y el agua, con reproducción anual. Actualmente, está catalogada en peligro de extinción (EN A2cd), ya que 52% de sus poblaciones es sobreexplotada con fines maderables. Los usos de la especie la hacen promisoria; su madera es una de las más valiosas del mundo pues en todas sus partes se han encontrado sustancias activas con potencial para la agroindustria textil, la medicina, como alimento humano; se ha usado como una excelente fuente de leña en zonas rurales. Esta especie es clave en la adaptación ante el cambio climático por sus servicios ambientales en la recuperación ecológica de suelos degradados y por mantener la calidad del aire y el agua bajo sistemas agroforestales que al mismo tiempo son un hábitat y fuente de recursos alimenticios para la fauna silvestre. También es importante como ornamental en paisajes andinos urbanizados. Por lo anterior, se hace una propuesta de propagación, como medida de conservación en zonas andinas, con base en los estudios documentados para la especie.
