LOPEZ, Antonio; BICERRA, Enrique  y  DIAZ, Edgar. Ecological profile of four rodals of arboreal camu camu Myrciaria floribunda (H. West. ex Willd) O. Berg. in Ucayali. Ecol. apl. [online]. 2006, vol.5, n.1-2, pp.45-52. ISSN 1726-2216.

The present study describes the ecological profile of the arboreal camu camu Myrciaria floribunda H. West ex-Wild O. Berg. taking into account the characterization of four rodals located in the periodically flooded alluvial terraces of the Ucayali River Basin, at an average altitude of 155 m.a.s.l. The floristic composition of four rodals is homogeneous, with average mixing quotients of 1/10 that do not overcome 30 m ² of the total basal area. Due to this, they are considered as low natural fertility places and in early succession stages. In accordance to IVIA, in three rodals (Caco Macaya, Agua Negra and Sábalo), Myrciaria floribunda is among the six species of major ecological importance, presenting a grouped natural distribution with a non continuous horizontal distribution. Regarding the natural regeneration of Myrciaria floribunda, even though a scale of reference for the species does not exist, an average of 3208 individuals per hectare is considered high.
