CARANQUI, Jorge; LOZANO, Patricio  y  REYES, Julio. Composition and diversity of High Andean in the Fauna Production Reserve Chimborazo, Ecuador. Enfoque UTE [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.1, pp.33-45. ISSN 1390-6542.  https://doi.org/10.29019/enfoqueute.v7n1.86.

The present study inquire the floristic diversity of 9 sampling in four plots of 1 m² of high andean in several locations in the “Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo”. For the development of this study, we used an adaptation of the method of plots “Gloria”. With coverage (%) in each of the plots, Further the diversity indices and similarity with respective analysis were obtained. The data obtained reflect a diversity that can range from medium to low, believe that this is due to anthropogenic activities that have taken place in these ecosistems. With the presence mostly Calamagrostis intermedia, it could establish that the type of vegetation is herbaceous in high andean is higher percentage; is the species that is almost always present in most types of vegetation of the RPF Chimborazo and high dominance that influences the results of low floristic diversity indices was found in the analysis. As a result the most abundant family Asteraceae is well Poaceae.
