Abstract

Tropical forests harbor a great biodiversity of species and are an ideal site investigations of flora . The aim was to identify the floristic species in the forest surrounding the lagoon and determine the value and importance of species in the study area . The choice of sampling design was based taking into account standardized methodologies , specialized literature and resources available . Was applied in the forest 5 plots of 50X4m ( 0,1ha ) . He later proceeded to collect botanical specimens of species that could not be identified directly in the field . Recording processing photographs of the samples were documented . The results disclosed 57 species belonging to 23 families and 42 genera . The forest has a fairly low diversity , density of emergent trees is low; however, represent a third of the basal area of the forest, while there is a highly labeled species of saplings density. Highlighting the most representative families Rubiaceae , Melastomataceae , Caprifoliaceae , Actinidaceae and Cyatheaceae . The forest around the lake is a major ecological, natural, environmental potential ; There are pioneer species such as Vismia , Cecropia , Annona , Miconia , Alchornea and Jacaranda . This forest ecosystem depend many animal dispersers and pollinators seeds that guarantee their recovery, which in the future could become a potential source of germplasm in the Upper Amazon.
