Biological characterization of natural areas La Cumbre Nucleus, Valle del Cauca, Colombia

As part of the landscape, flora is a component of biodiversity that requires special and spatial attention and management. A rapid flora inventory was carried out in the La Cumbre nucleus using rapid assessment plots RAP (Gentry 1982), within properties managed by Smurfit Kappa, in order to generate a biological characterization of the area, determining the species of the biodiversity present in the area, pointing out those that, due to their threat status, endemism or special importance, require greater attention, emphasizing the flora component.

作为景观生态系统的组成部分，植物区系（flora）是生物多样性的核心构成要素，需得到针对性且基于空间维度的关注与管护。本研究在斯穆菲特·卡帕（Smurfit Kappa）管理的地块范围内，针对拉昆布雷核心区（La Cumbre nucleus）开展快速植物区系调查，采用由Gentry于1982年提出的快速评估样地法（Rapid Assessment Plots，缩写RAP）。本次调查旨在完成该区域的生物学特征表征，明确区域内现存生物多样性的物种类群，并标注出那些因受威胁等级、特有性或特殊保育价值而需要重点关注的物种，研究全程聚焦植物区系要素。
