dc.description.abstract | Dry intermountain valleys in the Andes constitute areas of ecological interest due to their unique climate, flora, and soils. In the state of Mérida (Venezuela), a xerophytic or semiarid enclave located in Ejido-Estanques in the middle basin of the Chama river was studied. The floristic inventory showed 28 families with 62 species (3 endemics) and seven new reports. The phytogeographic analysis indicates that all species belong to two floristic kingdoms, except for two cosmopolitan and cultivated species. Nine biogeographical regions and 37 provinces are represented, belonging to the Neotropical-Austroamerican kingdom, the Neotropical subkingdom. The most frequent are the Colombian Andean and Guajirean-Caribbean provinces, although other species have a Caribbean-Mesoamerican and Guayanan-Orinoquian origin. There are several natural ecosystems which suggest a drier climate in the past, with different floristic elements from those in adjacent more humid ecosystems. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Los bolsones xerofíticos de los Andes de Mérida constituyen enclaves de interés ecológico dadas sus condiciones únicas climáticas, edáficas y florísticas. En el estado Mérida (Venezuela) se estudió el bolsón xerofítico o enclave semiárido en Ejido Estanques, en el valle medio del río Chama. El inventario florístico revela 28 familias, 62 especies, de las cuales tres son endémicas y siete son nuevos registros para la zona. El análisis fitogeográfico muestra dos reinos aunque hay dos especies cosmopolitas y cultivadas. Nueve regiones biogeográficas y 37 provincias están representadas, pertenecientes al reino Neotropical-Austroamericano, subreino Neotropical. Resaltan como frecuentes la provincia Andina Colombiana y la Guajireña-Caribeña de la Neogranadina; también se encontraron plantas de origen Caribe-Mesoamericano y de la región Guayana-Orinoquense. Hay varios ecosistemas naturales que revelan un clima seco en el pasado y elementos florísticos muy disímiles de los ecosistemas aledaños. | en_US |
