Este hecho tiene implicaciones fuertes hacia un manejo sustentable de recursos genéticos forestales como tambien hacia la conservación. Depues de la selección de especies prioritarias utilizando criterios ecológicos y económicos, se inició una evaluación de la variación genética dentro de cada especie prioritaria. Por ello se estudió la fenología de Cedrela montana, Prumnopitys montana, Myrica pubescens y Clethra revoluta durante porun plazo de dos años en dos sitios diferentes, ECSF en el Valle de la Estacón Cientifíca San Francisco y El Bosque, cerca de San Pedro de Vilcabamba. Adicionalmente se realizaro inventarios forestales en la Reserva Estación Científica San Francisco y en la Reserva La Ceiba en el bosque seco. Los resultados demuestran una variación alta de datos de floración y fructificación, no solo entre las dos areas geograficas, sino también dentro de ellas. Como consecuencia, esa variación se debe considerar en planes de manejo y conservación. Los inventarios demostraron que hay varias especies con subpopulaciones sin contacto o flujo de genes entre ellas o que son demasiado pequeñas para conservación estatica de recursos genéticos.

Debido a que solo el 0.1% de P está disponible para ser absorbido directamente por las plantas, se requiere de una interacción positiva con bacterias solubilizadoras de fósforo (BSF) para convertir 1575 el P insoluble a su forma soluble, y hacerlo disponible para las plantas. Aun siendo esta asociación de gran importancia, existe poca información sobre la presencia de BSF en especies arbóreas, especialmente de ambientes montanos andinos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar la presencia de BSF en la rizosfera de dos individuos de cedro andino (Cedrela montana), provenientes de bosque secundario (BS) y zona de pastizal (ZP), respectivamente, de la localidad de Intag (norte de la Cordillera Occidental del Ecuador). Se recolectaron un total de tres muestras de suelo de cada rizósfera, las cuales fueron enriquecidas con fosfato tricálcico, y cultivadas en medio selectivo NBRIP para determinar la presencia de BSF.

  • Inclusion of Cedrela Spp. in Appendix II. Proponent
    CoP 14 Prop. 33 Inclusion of Cedrela spp. in Appendix II. Proponent: Germany, on behalf of the European Community Member States acting in the interest of the European Community. Summary: Cedrela is a genus of trees which, as currently defined, is restricted to the New World and comprises at least seven species that occur naturally from Mexico and the Caribbean islands south to Argentina. The most widespread species, C. odorata has been planted widely in many parts of the region and has been introduced to many countries elsewhere. Once a common tree, it has had a long history of over-exploitation for its timber and now suffers from extensive loss of habitat. Populations are now much reduced in many countries in its native range and it is categorised in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as globally Vulnerable. The wood is used extensively in many countries for furniture making and other purposes and large quantities have recently been exported by several South American countries. In many countries there are laws and regulations addressing control of logging and trade in the species but lack of human and financial resources diminishes their effectiveness, and some illegal trade has been reported. Other species in the genus, particularly C. fissilis and C. lilloi, are also apparently subject to over-exploitation. Both C. fissilis and C. lilloi are currently classified by IUCN as Endangered. Cedrela odorata has been listed in CITES Appendix III by Colombia and Peru since 2001. The other species in the genus are proposed for inclusion in Appendix II on a look-alike basis.
