Corpac, San Isidro, Lima, Perú Phone: 51-1-2263062, Fax: 51-1-2241177 [email protected] ABSTRACT Almost 50% of world bamboo biodiversity is from America, with Brazil as the country with the largest national complement of species, with almost 134, followed by Venezuela with 68, Colombia 56 and Peru with 48. The most important native genus in Latin America: Guadua sp. and Chusquea sp. Among the large sized bamboos, Guadua angustifolia is the most studied and used native species; due to the physical and mechanic characteristics of the 25-30 m high culms, appropriate for constructions and several other uses. Several exotic bamboo species, mainly from Asia are also present in the new world, among them several species of Bambusa, Phyllostachys, Gigantochloa and Dendrocalamus. Bamboo was used mainly in constructions and tools for farming, music, weapons, among others. Bamboo housing components that are about 4500 years old have been found in Ecuador. During the colonial time “bahareque” technique was use for building old urban traditional houses mainly in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, which after almost 500 years and several strong earthquakes are still in good state. In recent years, bamboo is use for urban and rural marginal housing, but also for complex architectural structures for houses, public buildings and bridges. Even though, bamboo management, transformation and use in Latin America have not reach the traditional level as in Asia; however in recent years, socio economic development and environmental benefits, general interest on bamboo is increasing rapidly. Colombia and Ecuador have more tradition and experience for bamboo use in constructions, but others countries are also improving its use. New plantations and improved technology for management and transformation of native and exotic bamboo species are being implemented. Key words: Bamboo Biodiversity, Bamboo Management, Transformation, Use INTRODUCTION “Bamboo: The Gift of the Gods1” was used in Latin America since ancient times, mainly for vessels, constructions, tools for farming, music, weapons, among others. During the colonial time “quincha” technique was widely use for urban traditional buildings, some of them still in 1 Oscar Hidalgo, 2003. 4 good conditions after the impact of several strong earthquakes. With the development of the “bahareque” technique and other developments, it is increasingly being use for different types of urban and rural infrastructures, an initiative leaded by Colombian and Ecuadorian world known bamboo architects. In a continent where most people live in the small islands of the Caribbean and Central America rather than in South America, where almost 50% of the world’s tropical rain forest inhabits as well as most native bamboo species of this continent. This is also a region where still for some policy makers, only economic indicators are important, with little consideration to social and environmental ones, where concrete and brick are symbol of status and forest land is mean to be use for cropping rather than forest management; but it is also the land where bamboo development is experimenting important advances, specially in construction technology, but still much need to be done in other areas, specially for the development and implementation of national and regional policies for research, technology transfer and capacity building in bamboo forest management and sustainable integrated utilization/industrialization of bamboo. This paper provides a brief review on bamboo diversity and uses in the past, present and an idea about its future in Latin America, based mainly on the information provided by several colleges 2 . Some information about bamboo development in some countries are not being mention in this paper and the presentation, without meaning they are not important, only because space and time limitations. BAMBOO RESOURCES Latin America, with approximately 18´692,000 Km2, is the richest region of the continent in terms of diversity and number of woody bamboo species, 20 genera and 429 species distributed from 47oS in Chile to 27oN in Mexico, among them only one specie (Arundinaria gigantea) from North America is not found in Latin America. Therefore, of the 1110 species of woody bamboos of the world, 39% of the species and 31% of the genera are found in Latin America. It is an estimate that around 11 millions hectares of Latin America are cover with bamboo3. Woody bamboos are found in almost all Latin American habitats with the exception of desert regions. They are distributed from the humid lowland forest at sea level, on the shores of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, to the highlands in the Andes up to 4300 m in the “paramos” (Judziewicz

  • CATALOGUE of the GRASSES of CUBA by A. S. Hitchcock
    CATALOGUE OF THE GRASSES OF CUBA By A. S. Hitchcock. INTRODUCTION. The following list of Cuban grasses is based primarily upon the collections at the Estaci6n Central Agron6mica de Cuba, situated at Santiago de las Vegas, a suburb of Habana. The herbarium includes the collections made by the members of the staff, particularly Mr. C. F. Baker, formerly head of the department of botany, and also the Sauvalle Herbarium deposited by the Habana Academy of Sciences, These specimens were examined by the writer during a short stay upon the island in the spring of 1906, and were later kindly loaned by the station authorities for a more critical study at Washington. The Sauvalle Herbarium contains a fairly complete set of the grasses col- lected by Charles Wright, the most important collection thus far obtained from Cuba. In addition to the collections at the Cuba Experiment Station, the National Herbarium furnished important material for study, including collections made by A. H. Curtiss, W. Palmer and J. H. Riley, A. Taylor (from the Isle of Pines), S. M. Tracy, Brother Leon (De la Salle College, Habana), and the writer. The earlier collections of Wright were sent to Grisebach for study. These were reported upon by Grisebach in his work entitled "Cata- logus Plant arum Cubensium," published in 1866, though preliminary reports appeared earlier in the two parts of Plantae Wrightianae. * During the spring of 1907 I had the opportunity of examining the grasses in the herbarium of Grisebach in Gottingen.6 In the present article I have, with few exceptions, accounted for the grasses listed by Grisebach in his catalogue of Cuban plants, and have appended a list of these with references to the pages in the body of this article upon which the species are considered.

  • 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.

    Journal of Bamboo & Rattan 37 J.Bamboo and Rattan,Vol. 17,Nos. 2, pp. 36 - 52 (2018) © KFRI (2018) Economic analysis of cultivation of bamboo (Bambusa balcooa Roxb. and Dendrocalamus stocksii Munro.) in Konkan belt of Maharashtra, India Sruthi Subbanna1 and SyamViswanath2* 1Institute of Wood Science and Technology, Malleswaram, Bangalore 2Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi, Kerala ABSTRACT :The past decade has seen an increasing impetus of growing bamboo in India. There has also been an increase in availability of micropropagated plantlets in substantial quantities. Both the reasons combined is making farmers explore bamboo cultivation as an alternative to traditional agriculture and horticulture crops. In this stusy, the economics associated with growing two bamboo species viz. Bambusa balcooa Roxb., a relatively new addition in the Konkan belt of Maharashtra and Dendrocalamus stocksii Munro., traditionally grown bamboo species in the region have been studied. The study projects that the potential of economic benefit from D. stocksii (₹ 2,28,473 or $3,147 ha-1 year-1) which is relatively greater than that of B. balcooa (₹ 1,99,715 or $2,752 annually ha-1year-1) and could primarily be attributed to greater number of new culms that emerge annually in D. stocksii (16.5±0.81) as compared to B. balcooa (7.2±0.58) for medium density block plantations. The input cost for growing the two bamboo species also varies considerably and better B/C ratio (6.02 and 5.70) was observed in D. stocksii as compared to B. balcooa (4.00 and 3.93). The study indicates that although both species are beneficial to the farmers, higher culm emergence and better culm and clump characteristics makes D.
