Contribution to the knowledge of high mountain vascular flora of the Sierra de Ambato (Catamarca, Argentina)

Background and aims: Sierras de Ambato is a mountain range located in the province of Catamarca, Argentina. They have about 450 km2 occupied by high mountain plant communities, which do not have exhaustive studies. In order to contribute to the knowledge of plant diversity of these environments, an...

description Background and aims: Sierras de Ambato is a mountain range located in the province of Catamarca, Argentina. They have about 450 km2 occupied by high mountain plant communities, which do not have exhaustive studies. In order to contribute to the knowledge of plant diversity of these environments, an updated list of vascular plants is presented and their possible biogeographic connections are discussed. M&M: There were four expeditions to the study area. Specimens were collected from 3000 masl to the summit. Specimens were identified following conventional procedures and remains deposited in the National University of Catamarca Herbarium (UNCAT). The floristic information already published about the area and that available online were considered to complete the list. Results & Conclusions: 687 herbarium specimens were collected. Combining information obtained in expeditions, bibliographic review and online databases, we obtained a list of 260 taxa for the altitude floor surveyed, corresponding to 138 genera and 50 families.2 new records for the Catamarca flora and 15 new records for the study area are included. Data suggest that this area, like the summits of other similar mountain ranges of the Sierras Pampeanas, should be included in the phytogeographic provinces of Puna and Altos Andes. High mountain plant communities of tropical and subtropical South America are vulnerable to the increase in global average temperature, which justifies the importance of the permanent record and monitoring of their diversity.

Introducción y objetivos: Las sierras de Ambato son un cordón montañoso situado en la provincia de Catamarca, Argentina. Cuentan con unos 450 km2ocupados por comunidades vegetales de alta montaña, que no cuentan con estudios exhaustivos. Con el objetivo de contribuir al conocimiento de la diversidad vegetal de estos ambientes, se presenta un listado de plantas vasculares actualizado y se discuten sus posibles conexiones biogeográficas. M&M: Se realizaron cuatro expediciones al área de estudio. Se colectaron ejemplares desde los 3000 msnm hasta la cumbre. El material se identificó siguiendo los procedimientos convencionales y permanece depositado en el Herbario de la Universidad Nacional de Catamarca (UNCAT). Se consideró la información florística ya publicada de la zona y la disponible on line para completar el listado.  Resultados & Conclusiones: Se colectaron 687 ejemplares de herbario. De la combinación de la información obtenida en las expediciones, la revisión bibliográfica y bases de datos on line se obtuvo un listado de 260 especies para el piso altitudinal relevado, correspondientes a 138 géneros y 50 familias. Se incluyen 2 nuevos registros para la flora de Catamarca y 15 nuevos registros para el área de estudio. Los datos hacen suponer que el área, al igual que las cumbres de otros cordones similares de las Sierras Pampeanas, debería incluirse en las provincias fitogeográficas puneña y altoandina. Las comunidades vegetales de alta montaña de Sudamérica tropical y subtropical son vulnerables al aumento de la temperatura media global, lo que justifica la importancia del registro y monitoreo permanente de su diversidad.
