Sc) -- CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2007 En la actualidad los estudios de ecología de bosques intentan conocer cual es la influencia de la alta diversidad taxonómica en la cantidad y calidad de los servicios que los bosques brindan. En el presente estudio se seleccionaron las especies dominantes en área basal en los bosques de estudio y se les midieron los rasgos de área foliar, área de foliolos, área foliar específica, fuerza tensil foliar, contenido foliar de materia seca, contenidos foliares de nitrógeno y fósforo y la densidad específica de la madera, los cuales son determinantes en las funciones ecosistémicas de ciclaje de nutrientes y captura y almacenamiento de carbono.Finalmente se evaluó la pertinencia del uso de las medidas de diversidad funcional, concluyendo son adecuadas para hacer un acercamiento a la cuantificación de la diversidad funcional y su influencia sobre los procesos ecosistémicos, pero que se deben evaluar índices que tengan en cuenta las abundancias relativas de las especies para que permitan hacer mayor inferencia sobre los procesos ecosistémicos de ciclaje de nutrientes y captura y almacenamiento de carbono. At the present time, forest ecology studies are focused on the influence of high taxonomic diversity on the quantity and quality of services that forests perform.In the study area dominant species were selected in terMON of basal area and for each the leaf area, leaflet area, specific leaf area, leaf tensile strength, leaf dry matter content, leaf content of nitrogen and phosphorus and specific density of wood were determined. These are key traits in the determinational ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling and carbon capture and storage. Lastly, the pertinency of the three FD measures was evaluated. The three are adequate as an aproximation to the quantification of FD and its influence on ecosystem processes, but the testing of indices that take into acconunt relative abundance is recommended for cleares links to ecosystem processes and their influence on the quality of the nutrient cycling and carbon capture and storage services. 2014-10-20T05:06:30Z 2014-10-20T05:06:30Z 2007 Tesis de maestría 371188 https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/5163 http://orton.catie.ac.cr/repdoc/A1667e/A1667e.pdf Turrialba (Costa Rica) es application/pdf CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica) |
