| Sumario: | Since 1967, studies on the Chaco Forest have allowed us to know the pioneer plant communities and their spatial distribution in the territory of the Chaco Oriental Park, an ecosystem made up of diverse environments and strata, especially demarcated in the gallery forest. Currently, this ecosystem is fragmented, forming patches of vegetation with less diversity due to anthropogenic action. Faced with these facts, we proposed to update the knowledge of the native tree species of greatest importance for conservation through field surveys, adapting the method of Cottam and Curtis (1956) to the study of homogeneous landscape plots. 14 plots were surveyed, recording 27 tree and shrub species which were characterized according to their biology, distribution and main conservation values. Photographic records were made of each specimen and an educational brochure was prepared on the most significant species, which was presented at an educational forum in the town. This work is a contribution of students, teachers and NGOs to the knowledge and dissemination of native species of a threatened and fragile ecosystem. |
