Oak forest flora (Quercus: Fagaceae) of two ravines of the Puebla city, Mexico

The Puebla city ravines have a relic of oak forest (Quercus: Fagaceae) that is subject to strong human pressures.

description The Puebla city ravines have a relic of oak forest (Quercus: Fagaceae) that is subject to strong human pressures. Despite the importance that this relict represents for a city lacking in wooded areas, there is no information on its richness, diversity, and geographical affinity. Hence the objective of this work, to carry out an inventory of the vascular flora components, determining the current geographic distribution patterns of the families, genera and species, and specify the richness, diversity and floristic similarity of El Conde and Malinalli ravines. This was done through field trips and botanical specimen collection, using the Margalef, Pielou and Simpson indices to estimate alpha diversity patterns and the Sorensen Similarity Index to determine beta diversity. A list of 105 species was obtained, grouped into 81 genera and 40 families, and both ravines have a medium to high alpha and beta diversity. Because to the ecosystem services that wooded areas provide to urban areas, knowledge of the forest should be deepened, and the study extended to other ravines as a step towards recovery, remediation, management and conservation.

Las barrancas de la ciudad de Puebla presentan un relicto de bosque de encino (Quercus: Fagaceae) que se encuentra sometido a fuertes presiones humanas. A pesar de la importancia que dicho relicto representa para una urbe carente de zonas arboladas, no existe información sobre su riqueza, diversidad y afinidad geográfica. De ahí los objetivos de este trabajo, inventariar los componentes de la flora vascular, determinar los patrones de distribución geográfica actual de las familias, géneros y especies, así como precisar la riqueza, diversidad y similitud florística de las barrancas El Conde y Malinalli. Se hicieron recorridos de campo y colecta de ejemplares botánicos, uso de los índices de Margalef, de Pielou y de Simpson para estimar los patrones de diversidad alfa y del índice de Similitud de Sorensen para determinar la diversidad beta. Se obtuvo una lista de 105 especies, agrupadas en 81 géneros y 40 familias, y ambas barrancas tienen una diversidad alfa y beta de mediana a alta. Por los servicios ecosistémicos que los espacios arbolados proporcionan a las zonas urbanas, se deberá ahondar en el conocimiento del bosque y ampliar el estudio hacia otras barrancas como un paso hacia su recuperación, remediación, manejo y conservación.
