    Introduction in the Americas, Agreat Diversity of Bamboo Endemic Species Is Found in Brazil, North and Central Andes, Mexico and Central America

    Theme: Environment: Ecology and Environmental Concerns Mexican national living bamboo collection ex situ conservation Ma. Teresa Mejia-Saulés and Rogelio Macías Ordóñez Instituto de Ecología A.C. Carretera antigua a Coatepec 351, El Haya, Xalapa, Ver. 91070 México. email: [email protected]@inecol.mx In the Americas, the highest bamboo diversity and endemism is found in Brazil, the northern and central Andes, Mexico and Central America. In 2003, there were 40 native species of bamboos described for Mexico in eleven bamboo genera. Recent work has brought this number to 56 species. More than the half (34) of the Mexican bamboo species are endemic. The Mexican bamboos grow in tropical dry and perennial forests, mixed pine-oak and pine-fire forests, pine forests, and cloud forests from sea level to 3,000 m elevation. Genera of described Mexican woody bamboos species (and spp number) are: Arthrostylidium(1), Aulonemia(1),Chusquea(22),Guadua(7),Merostachys (1),Olmeca(5),Otatea(11),Rhipidocladum(4). Herbaceous genera are Cryptochloa(1),Lithachne(1),Olyra(2). Many of them have a diversity of rustic uses such as material for roofs or walls, furniture, fences, baskets, walking sticks, handcrafts, beehives, agricultural tools as well as ornamental plants. Live collections at the Botanical Gardens that preserve plant genetic resources are curated for various purposes including scientific education and research. The Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanical Garden at the Instituto de Ecología, in Xalapa, Mexico, houses the Mexican national living bamboo collection. It was stablished in 2003 with the collaborative support of INECOL, Bamboo of the Americas, and the InstitutoTecnológico de Chetumal for the ex situ conservation of Mexican bamboo diversity, research and education.

It is made available under aCC-BY-ND 4.0 International license. Abstract Bamboo-dominated forests in Southwestern Amazonia encompass an estimated 180,000 km2 of nearly contiguous primary, tropical lowland forest. This area, largely composed of two bamboo species, Guadua weberbaueri Pilger and G. sarcocarpa Londoño & Peterson, comprises a significant portion of the Amazon Basin and has a potentially important effect on regional carbon storage. Numerous local REDD(+) projects would benefit from the development of allometric models for these species, although there has been just one effort to do so. The aim of this research was to create a set of improved allometric equations relating the above and belowground biomass to the full range of natural size and growth patterns observed. Four variables (DBH, stem length, small branch number and branch number ≥ 2cm diameter) were highly significant predictors of stem biomass (N≤ 278, p< 0.0001 for all predictors, complete model R2=0.93).

Introduction Bamboo species have a long history as a multipurpose and widely used renewable resource. Particularly in Asia, bamboos are a source of material for construction, tools and implements for agriculture, pulp for paper, handicrafts, and are also used for soil conservation (BANIK 1999). In addition, bamboo is also popular because its shoots are fit for human consumption (RAZAK 2001). Bamboo is the base for a wide range of industries that provide the livelihoods for the rural poor mostly in the unorganised sector. In India, the industry is estimated to supply income to 0.5 million people, most of whom are employed by small-scale processing enterprises (HANUMAPPA 1996). The world bamboo forest area covers about 20 millions ha (ZHOU et al. 1994), with 90 genera and 1200 species (LONDOÑO 1990). Only in America, there are 440 native species, of which 320 are woody (HIDALGO 2003). Within woody bamboos is the genus Guadua (JUDZIEWICZ et al. 1999). This genus contains the largest bamboos from the Americas, which have significant social, economic and cultural importance. These include 30 species widespread from Mexico to Argentina from sea level up to 1800 m.a.s.l. (LONDOÑO 1990). American woody bamboos have been classified into two groups based on their habit requirements.

    Introduction

    10th World Bamboo Congress, Korea 2015 Biomass generation and Carbon fixation in Guadua Bamboo: Guadua angustifolia Kunth. Hormilson Cruz Ríos. Bamboo Premier. Carretera Mexico Toluca # 54 – 54 México DF. Mexico. CP:05320 [email protected] Abstract In Mexico bamboo grows in many aspects; forestry, plantations, propagation, evaluation not only in native but also in exotic bamboo species with high economical potential, construction, biomass production, charcoal, clean energy, engineered wood and cellulose. Among the most important research done in Mexico is the biomass production and carbon sequestration in Guadua angustifolia. This research was done during more than 7 years. In terms of biomass production in this research, a number of commercial plantations existing in different localities in Mexico were selected. They were studied by place and ultimately an average was arrived at for five (5) repetitions sown at 6 m x 6m and putting fertilizers using the dynamic of nutrients extraction discovered to Guadua angustifolia. Among the plantations selected in each of the localities, clumps were chosen at one year, two years, and thus successively until seven years of age. The biomass was calculated and wet weight was recorded in every part of the plant and consequently in the clump. The biomass average results obtained shown that by the end of the seventh year a clump reach 2145.3kg. From this it may be concluded that Guadua angustifolia produces 596.39 tons/Ha of green biomass at seven years and under the sowing distance referred before. The average is 85.19 ton/ha/year. In terms of capture of Carbon, Guadua angustifolia as a tropical and giant bamboo is an excellent bamboo to fix it.

    Revista Brasil. Bot., V.27, n.1, p.31-36, jan.-mar. 2004 New species of Aulonemia and Chusquea (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) from southeastern Brazil LYNN G. CLARK1 (received: February 19, 2003; accepted: October 16, 2003) ABSTRACT – (New species of Aulonemia and Chusquea (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) from southeastern Brazil). Aulonemia fimbriatifolia and Chusquea longispiculata, two woody bamboo species from the Atlantic forest of southeastern Brazil, are described as new and key characters are illustrated. Aulonemia fimbriatifolia is compared and contrasted with four other similar species, but it is considered unique within the genus and possibly among Neotropical woody bamboos due to its basally fimbriate foliage leaf blades. Chusquea longispiculata shares extremely reduced glumes I and II and reflexed lower inflorescence branches with a number of other Brazilian species of the genus, but is distinguished based on its spikelets that reach nearly 2 cm in length, as well as several vegetative features. Key words - Atlantic forest, Aulonemia, Chusquea, Serra do Mar, woody bamboos RESUMO – (Espécies novas de Aulonemia e Chusquea (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) do sudeste do Brasil). Aulonemia fimbriatifolia e Chusquea longispiculata, duas espécies de bambus lenhosos da mata Atlântica do sudeste do Brasil, são descritas como novas e os seus caracteres diagnósticos são ilustrados. Aulonemia fimbriatifolia é comparada com quatro outras espécies semelhantes do gênero, mas é considerada única dentro do género e, possivelmente, entre os bambus lenhosos neotropicais devido às suas lâminas foliares fimbriadas na base. Chusquea longispiculata compartilha com várias outras espécies brasileiras do gênero as glumas I e II extremamente reduzidas e os ramos basais da inflorescência reflexos.

Carretera antigua a Coatepec 351, Xalapa, 91070, Mexico., e-mail: [email protected] *author for correspondence Abstract With 52 described species, Merostachys is the most diverse genus in the Arthrostylidiinae; 50 of the species are present in South America and only two, M. latifolia and M. pauciflora, are distributed in Central America and Mexico. Previous col- lections of vegetative Merostachys specimens from El Triunfo, Chiapas, Mexico, were identified as M. pauciflora. However, new flowering collections from the state of Tabasco, Mexico, allowed us to differentiate the Mexican populations from M. latifolia and M. pauciflora. A detailed study of samples from the Tabasco population, and a review of the previous collections from Chiapas, confirmed the existence of a new Merostachys species, which we here describe and illustrate as M.
