La presente guía, trabajada por investigadores y estudiantes del Centro de Biodiversidad y Genética, busca mostrar
avances del conocimiento sobre los bosques de Kewiña: Polylepis nana, especie que puede crecer como pequeño
árbol o arbusto endémico de Cochabamba y críticamente amenazada de extinguirse o desaparecer del planeta por su
tamaño poblacio...
El V Congreso Boliviano de Botánica se realizó el 26 y 27 de octubre en Cochabamba. Este evento contó con cuatro conferencias magistrales, 83 presentaciones orales y 55 pósters distribuidos en ocho áreas temáticas: 1) sistemática filogenia, biogeografía y evolución, 2) ecología, medioambiente y cambios globales, incluye especies invasivas e interac...
La region del río Pilcomayo del Gran Chaco, es compartida por tres países: Argentina, Bolivia y Paraguay. Los cambios en el uso del suelo en la region, afectaron creando brechas dentro de las formaciones vegetales y los corredores biológicos constituyen una herramienta de conservación para brindar mayor resiliencia a las formaciones restantes. El o...
Breve análisis situacional del Parque Nacional Tunari
Estimación de captura de carbono en árboles y arbustos almacenado en corredores biológicos urbanos de Cochabamba
Policy brief sobre la biodiversidad presnete en los corredores biológicos urbanos de la ciudad de Cochabamba
Policy brief que resume los principales resulados enocntrados al evaluar los servicios ecosistémicos en los corredores biológicos urbanos de la ciudad de Cochabamba
Descripción de la biodiversidad urbana de diferentes zonas claves de la ciudad de Cochabamba. Producto del proyecto Corredores Biológicos Urbanos (PIAACC-II.PCI.8).
Esta guía busca dar herramientas y lineamientos específicos para
poder conducir de manera apropiada acciones para la conservación de
los bosques de Polylepis, unos bosques muy particulares, amenazados, y que merecen nuestra especial atención, particularmente desde las prácticas de reforestación.
Eucalyptus plantations outside their native range – either as an income source or aimed at sequestering atmospheric carbon to combat climate change – are increasingly known to reduce local biodiversity and ground water levels, and to increase soil degradation and erosion. One additional but less understood effect of Eucalyptus on native floras is a...
Objetivo
de este trabajo fue demostrar la utilidad de la Evaluación Clínica Neonatal utilizando el CANS SCORE (Evaluación Clínica del Estado Nutricional), desarrollado y publicado por Mettcoff en 1994.
Métodos
Se realizó un estudio piloto transversal de marzo a junio de 2018, en el Hospital de Cochabamba nivel II, seleccionando 50 recién nacidos...
Efectos de los árboles exóticos y del ambiente materno sobre la producción de semillas, la germinación y el crecimiento inicial de Polylepis subtusalbida (Rosaceae) en el Parque Nacional Tunari, Bolivia. Los bosques de Polylepis subtusalbida en la ladera sur del Parque Nacional Tunari (Cochabamba, Bolivia) son relictos de considerable superficie de...
Hypseocharis is a genus endemic to the high Andes and sister to all other Geraniaceae genera. Regarding its basal position in Geraniaceae evolution, its germination ecology can provide important insights into the early evolution of physical dormancy. Imbibition tests performed on seeds of two Hypseocharis populations from Bolivia indicate that thei...
There is a long-standing debate on whether the occurrence of the iconic high-Andes Polylepis woodlands as small and isolated fragments is of natural or anthropogenic origin. We make inferences regarding the fragmentation history based on both a new population genetic study on P. besseri and a synthesis of available studies on the population genetic...
Seed germination is a crucial event in a plant's life cycle. Because temperature and water availability are important regulators of seed germination, this process will likely be influenced by global warming. Insight into the germination process under global warming is thus crucial, and requires the study of a wide range of water availability and te...
Mountain forests deserve special attention from ecologists and conservation biologists given the ecosystem services they provide
to society, and their threat under global change. In the subalpine region of the Andes, Polylepis woodlands occur as arboreal islands in a matrix of grassland and scrub. Due to overgrazing and burning, however, these wood...
High-altitude Polylepis besseri woodlands in Bolivia are under increasing threat from human use and disturbance. Currently, there is no information regarding
P. besseri growth rates, age structures or the relationship between environmental variables and growth. Such information would be useful
for effective management and conservation of the remain...
Montane forests in Bolivia are characterized by sites with high biodiversity and endemism but are also faced by threats due to human activities, mainly agriculture. For a period of 11 months, we evaluated the effect of human disturbance due to traditional agricultural activities on bat communities in a montane forest in the foothills of the Santuar...
The establishment of exotic trees such as Pinus radiata (radiata pine, Pinaceae) and Eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus, Myrtaceae) in fragments of native vegetation at the Parque Nacional Tunari (PNT, Cochabamba-Bolivia), can affect
the regeneration of the native species that live there. Polylepis subtusalbida’s (kewiña, Rosaceae) regeneration was su...
The development of tropical dendrochronology has advanced substantial during the last decade. Yet, dendrochronology has just begun to be applied in the study of Bolivian forests with this being the first tree-ring chronology for a Polylepis pepei forests. In Bolivia, Polylepis pepei occurs between 3 700 - 4 350 m in the transition zone between humi...
