Evaluación del desempeño de especies nativas en las etapas iniciales de un proceso de reforestación en la Universidad de Caldas, Manizales (Colombia)570 - BiologíaEcological restorationAndean forestsNative speciesBiomassSlopePioneer speciesBiodiversity recoveryBiologíaBiomasaBiodiversidadGestión forestalFiguras y tablas.La degradación de los ecosistemas andinos, impulsada por la deforestación, la agricultura y la expansión urbana, ha reducido su biodiversidad y servicios ecosistémicos, destacando la urgente necesidad de restauración ecológica asistida. Este estudio evaluó el desempeño temprano de 19 especies de árboles nativos plantados en un proyecto de restauración de 0.5 ha en la Universidad de Caldas (Manizales, Colombia), considerando la pendiente como una variable topográfica clave. El crecimiento (altura y diámetro basal), la acumulación de biomasa y la supervivencia se monitorearon durante un año a través de tres campañas de medición, y los datos se analizaron mediante pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas. Los resultados mostraron una tasa de supervivencia general del 77.9%, con diferencias significativas entre especies y categorías de pendiente. Especies pioneras como Heliocarpus popoyanensis, Montanoa quadrangularis, Verbesina arborea y Croton magdaleniensis exhibieron el mayor crecimiento y acumulación de biomasa (>6 kg individual⁻¹), confirmando su papel como facilitadores ecológicos. En contraste, especies de sucesión tardía como Quercus humboldtii y Tabernaemontana sp. Presentaron una menor supervivencia y crecimiento, lo que indica la necesidad de micrositios sombreados o etapas de plantación más tardías. Las pendientes más pronunciadas (>24°) favorecieron el crecimiento y la biomasa, lo que sugiere que la microtopografía modula el éxito del establecimiento. Más allá de la dinámica de la vegetación, se registró una colonización temprana por insectos y reptiles, lo que evidencia la rápida reactivación de las interacciones ecológicas. Estos hallazgos refuerzan la importancia de combinar especies pioneras y de sucesión tardía, e incorporar explícitamente la pendiente en la planificación de la restauración. El estudio destaca que la reforestación nativa no solo restaura la cobertura vegetal, sino que también impulsa la recuperación de la biodiversidad y la prestación de servicios ecosistémicos, incluso en paisajes urbanos degradados.The degradation of Andean ecosystems, driven by deforestation, agriculture, and urban expansion, has reduced their biodiversity and ecosystem services, highlighting the urgent need for assisted ecological restoration. This study evaluated the early performance of 19 native tree species planted in a 0.5 ha restoration project at the Universidad de Caldas (Manizales, Colombia), considering slope as a key topographic variable. Growth (height and basal diameter), biomass accumulation, and survival were monitored during one year through three measurement campaigns, and data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests. Results showed a general survival rate of 77.9%, with significant differences among species and slope categories. Pioneer species such as Heliocarpus popoyanensis, Montanoa quadrangularis, Verbesina arborea and Croton magdaleniensis exhibited the highest growth and biomass accumulation (>6 kg individual⁻¹), confirming their role as ecological facilitators. In contrast, late-successional species like Quercus humboldtii and Tabernaemontana sp. displayed lower survival and growth, indicating a need for shaded microsites or later planting stages. Steeper slopes (>24°) favored growth and biomass, suggesting that microtopography modulates establishment success. Beyond vegetation dynamics, early colonization by insects and reptiles was recorded, evidencing the rapid reactivation of ecological interactions. These findings reinforce the importance of combining pioneer and late-successional species and explicitly incorporating slope into restoration planning. The study highlights that native reforestation not only restores vegetation cover but also initiates biodiversity recovery and ecosystem service provision, even in degraded urban landscapes.PregradoBiólogo(a)Universidad de CaldasFacultad de Ciencias Exactas y NaturalesManizales, CaldasBiologíaDuque Castrillón, Cesar AugustoUniversidad de CaldasValencia Ramirez, Juan Sebastian2026-01-26T15:55:25Z2026-01-26T15:55:25Z2026-01-26Trabajo de grado - Pregradohttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_7a1fTextinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis33 páginasapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://repositorio.ucaldas.edu.co/handle/ucaldas/26552Universidad de CaldasRepositorio Institucional Universidad de Caldasrepositorio.ucaldas.edu.cospaAguayo, M., Pauchard, A., Azócar, G., & Parra, O.
