Muestreo en transecto de formaciones vegetales de fanerófitos y caméfitos (I): Fundamentos metodológicos

Abstract

This study presents a quantitative geobotanical method of inventory for homogeneous vegetation formations (phanerophytes and chamaephytes) (method MIFC). The technique used is an inventory of vegetation (phanerophytes and chamaephytes) in transects of 50×2 m. Resulting in plots of 0.1 ha., the attributes and the relative position of the vegetation along the transect. For the study of vegetation, the analytical basis method considers 10 sample plots. The results provide data on biodiversity (Shannon, Simpson), mesological factors and the ecological Importance Value Index (IVI). Finally, the MIFC method develops a specific structural graph, consisting of the Wealth-Structure- Coverage Ecodynamics Diagram (EDWSC) for the vertical structure and a Bubble Diagram (DB) for the horizontal structure.
