Urban flower beds as a part of Bariloche’s biocultural landscape: species richness and management decisions

Introduction: In urban areas, flower beds with ornamental species provide structure and color, attract pollinators, act as wildlife corridors, bring nature closer, and offer humans a fount of wellbeing.

description Introduction: In urban areas, flower beds with ornamental species provide structure and color, attract pollinators, act as wildlife corridors, bring nature closer, and offer humans a fount of wellbeing. Depending on the selection criteria, urban flora can be a biodiversity reserve or a source for spreading invasive species. Objectives: The species richness, life forms, botanical families, and origins of the plants used in Bariloche’s flower beds was estimated.  M&M: The city of Bariloche lies within the Nahuel Huapi National Park and has multicultural characteristics. In total, 1,120 sidewalk flower beds were studied; 560 under municipal management and 560 managed by the neighborhood.  Results: There were 121 species, with Lobelia erinus (23.3%) and Clarkia amoena (19.7%) being the most widely used. Of the 54 botanical families represented, the most frequent were Rosaceae (28.5%, 9 species), Campanulaceae (23.7%, 2) and Compositae (20.4%, 18). Herbaceous plants were dominant (70 species), followed by shrubs (43), sapling trees (6), and climbing plant (2). The neighbors manage a larger diversity of plants and native species (92 species /11 native) than the municipality (64/4). The presence of native elements (e.g., Alstroemeria aurea and Fucsia magellanica) holds implications for preservation, while the invasive species (e.g., Hedera helix and Cytisus scoparius) bring risk and should be monitored and controlled.  Conclusions: It is concluded that the flora in flower beds represents a part of the region’s biocultural landscape, as dynamic backdrops built through time, showing similarities with worldwide selection patterns.

La flora urbana, puede ser reservorio de biodiversidad, o fuente de invasiones según los criterios de selección. Objetivos: Se estimó la riqueza de especies, formas de vida, familias botánicas y origen de las plantas utilizadas en canteros de Bariloche. M&M: La ciudad de Bariloche, se halla inmersa en el Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, posee características pluriculturales. Se estudiaron 1120 canteros ubicados sobre las veredas, con distinto manejo, 560 de gestión municipal y 560 vecinal.  Resultados: La riqueza fue de 121 especies, siendo las más utilizadas Lobelia erinus (23,3%) y Clarkia amoena (19,7%). De las 54 familias botánicas representadas, las de mayor frecuencia de uso fueron Rosaceae (28,5%, repartida en 9 especies), Campanulaceae (23,7%, 2) y Compositae (20,4%, 18). Predominó el uso de plantas herbáceas (70 especies), seguidas por arbustos (43), renovales arbóreos (6), y enredaderas (2). Los vecinos manejan mayor diversidad de plantas y especies nativas (92 especies/11 nativas), que el municipio (64/4). La presencia de elementos nativos (e.g., Alstroemeria aurea y Fucsia magellanica) tiene implicancias para la conservación; mientras que las especies invasoras representan riesgo (e.g., Hedera helix y Cytisus scoparius) y deberían ser controladas.  Conclusiones: Se concluye que la flora de los canteros representa parte del paisaje biocultural de la región, como escenarios dinámicos construidos a lo largo del tiempo, presentando similitudes con los patrones de selección a nivel mundial.
