@article{et. al._2021, title={POPULATION STRUCTURE AND ECOLOGY OF A HIGH ANDEAN FOREST: POLYLEPIS RUGULOSA (ROSACEAE) FROM PERU}, volume={10}, url={http://www.modern-journals.com/index.php/ijma/article/view/872}, abstractNote={<p>Thirteen plots of 500m<sup>2</sup> were established in the forest of quenoa at Muylaque, district of San Cristóbal (Moquegua), southern of Peru. The population structure showed a predominance of saplings (239 individuals), followed by adults (217 individuals), and seedlings (164 individuals). The average of individuals per plot was higher for the seedlings (18.4 ± 3.6), followed by adults (16.7 ± 4.3) and saplings (12.6 ± 4.5). It was estimated 334 adult individuals per hectare. <em>P. rugulosa</em> yielded floral buds during the wet season (December to February), while in the dry season (July to September) individuals in a vegetative stage predominate. The fruiting stage predominated at the end of the wet season (February to April). The plants affected by anthropogenic activities were accounted up to 13% of the plants evaluated. The associated flora to the <em>P. rugulosa</em> forest is composed of 72 species of herbaceous and shrubby plants distributed in 28 families.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Modern Agriculture}, author={et. al., Morales-Aranibar Luis,}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={1496 - 1505} }
