In this research, was identified and calculated the content of carbon in the epiphytic species in a study area of one hectare of forest Kutukú-Shaimi. For the determination of species, the procedure was the collection and subsequent the identification of epiphytes. Should be noted that the absence of information and entities that identify bryophyte, in particular epiphytes species, due to the importance of the study the bryophyte was included. The study consisted of an analysis of epiphytic depending on the tree and shrub layer; and the amount of species in these strata. The carbon content was obtained by applying the exploratory methods and laboratory. For the first method, data were collected in the field such as DAP and height both tree layer as shrub, while for second method of the laboratory the samples were examined by the organic matter technique titration to determine the carbon content present in each individual. As a result of the investigation, were registred six species of epiphytes being these Pleurothallis sp, Elaphoglossum sp, Tillandsia sp, Asplenium sp, Alsophila recorded cf. cuspidata (Kunze) S.D. Conant and bryophyte, the most representative in the shrub layer was the moss (80%) and in the tree layer was the Asplenium sp. with 175 individuals. Finally, in the tree layer, carbon was concentrated on ferns, being the Asplenium sp, the most predominant, unlike the shrub layer where existed higher carbon content in the moss, followed by ferns of the Elaphoglossum sp. y Asplenium sp. species. |
