SABOGAL, Ana  y  QUINTEROS, Yakov. Plant diversity and anthropic use in Samanga paramo (Espíndola and El Toldo Sector) and in San Juan de Cachiaco Paramo (San Juan and Totora Sectors), Ayabaca, Piura. Ecol. apl. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.1, pp.9-17. ISSN 1726-2216.

The following article compares two habitats: the Samanga and San Juan de Cachiaco paramos in the province of Ayabaca. Both paramos could be classified as subparamo. Life forms and endemism are described. At Samanga paramo a total of 67 species were registered. The most representative families were: Asteraceae, Poaceae and Ericaceae. At San Juan Paramo, 86 species were registered. The most representative families were: Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Ericaceae and Cyperaceae. San Juan paramo from is more humid and better conserved; this is reflected in the number of family and species that were found. Both paramo are threatened by grazing, but Samanga paramo is under higher anthropic pressure.

Palabras clave : Paramo; plants diversity; anthropic use; Ayabaca.
