Description

During the last years, fires in the tropical forests in central Peru have been increasing, causing effects on the vegetation. Over time, these fire-affected areas have been regenerating. However, at present, information on the floristic composition and biodiversity is still scarce. In the present study, the floristic composition and diversity of the arboreal vegetation of a subxerophilous forest in the Chanchamayo valley were evaluated, 20 months after having been disturbed by burns of anthropogenic origin.
