The New York Botanical Garden is using the Flora Neotropica monograph series as a model for digitization. We describe our efforts at digitizing Flora Neotropica monographs and why digitization of hardcopy descriptions must be a priority for the WFO project. Key words: Electronic monographs, open access, Flora Neotropica, monographs.

Phytochemistry, Pharmacology and Agronomy of Medicinal Plants: Amburana Cearensis, an Interdisciplinary Study
17 Phytochemistry, Pharmacology and Agronomy of Medicinal Plants: Amburana cearensis, an Interdisciplinary Study Kirley M. Canuto, Edilberto R. Silveira, Antonio Marcos E. Bezerra, Luzia Kalyne A. M. Leal and Glauce Socorro B. Viana Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Brazil 1. Introduction Plants are an important source of biologically active substances, therefore they have been used for medicinal purposes, since ancient times. Plant materials are used as home remedies, in over-the-counter drug products, dietary supplements and as raw material for obtention of phytochemicals. The use of medicinal plants is usually based on traditional knowledge, from which their therapeutic properties are oftenly ratified in pharmacological studies. Nowadays, a considerable amount of prescribed drug is still originated from botanical sources and they are associated with several pharmacological activities, such as morphine (I) (analgesic), scopolamine (II) atropine (III) (anticholinergics), galantamine (IV) (Alzheimer's disease), quinine (V) (antimalarial), paclitaxel (VI), vincristine (VII) and vinblastine (VIII) (anticancer drugs), as well as with digitalis glycosides (IX) (heart failure) (Fig. 1). The versatility of biological actions can be attributed to the huge amount and wide variety of secondary metabolites in plant organisms, belonging to several chemical classes as alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, xanthones, etc. The large consumption of herbal drugs, in spite of the efficiency of -

En la región Madre de Dios, es necesario seguir analizando los procesos de .cambios climáticos provenientes de la explotación de los recursos mineros, los recursos forestales, recurso castaña, etc.; Estos presentan un cambio a nivel socio - económico y ambiental en la región. Las perturbaciones naturales y los cambios climáticos se adicionan a los factores ambientales cambiantes provocando el dinamismo en la estructura y composición de los bosques; ésta es una razón para la realización del estudio de familia Apocynaceae y 'Melastomataceae en áreas pertenecientes a la Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco. La ciencia y la investigación tienen un compromiso en cuestionar y buscar alternativas para una estabilidad ambiental, viabilidad económica y una respuesta social hacia las nuevas condiciones ambientales~ Por otro lado la composición florística en ambas áreas de estudio está determinada por los factores ambientales como posición geográfica, clima, suelos, topografía, dinámica del bosque y la ecología de sus especies. Una de las características más relevantes de los bosques tropicales húmedos en general es su alta diversidad de especies vegetales, tanto arbóreas, arbustivos y hierbas. -

Recommendation of Native Species for the Reforestation of Degraded Land Using Live Staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia)
UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Department of Land, Environment Agriculture and Forestry Second Cycle Degree (MSc) in Forest Science Recommendation of native species for the reforestation of degraded land using live staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia) Supervisor Prof. Lorenzo Marini Co-supervisor Prof. Jaime Polanía Vorenberg Submitted by Alicia Pardo Moy Student N. 1218558 2019/2020 Summary Although Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, it has many degraded areas due to agricultural and mining practices that have been carried out in recent decades. The high Andean forests are especially vulnerable to this type of soil erosion. The corporate purpose of ‘Reforestadora El Guásimo S.A.S.’ is to use wood from its plantations, but it also follows the parameters of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). For this reason, it carries out reforestation activities and programs and, very particularly, it is interested in carrying out ecological restoration processes in some critical sites. The study area is located between 2000 and 2750 masl and is considered a low Andean humid forest (bmh-MB). The average annual precipitation rate is 2057 mm and the average temperature is around 11 ºC. The soil has a sandy loam texture with low pH, which limits the amount of nutrients it can absorb. FAO (2014) suggests that around 10 genera are enough for a proper restoration. After a bibliographic revision, the genera chosen were Alchornea, Billia, Ficus, Inga, Meriania, Miconia, Ocotea, Protium, Prunus, Psidium, Symplocos, Tibouchina, and Weinmannia. Two inventories from 2013 and 2019, helped to determine different biodiversity indexes to check the survival of different species and to suggest the adequate characteristics of the individuals for a successful vegetative stakes reforestation. -
