Abstract

Within the dry forest of Arenillas Ecological Reserve, a floristic survey was conducted to gather information on the taxonomic and functional diversity in trees, shrubs and youth. As well as presenting this forest regeneration. For this monitoring plots was used to achieve gather information about the species and most representative families in this dry forest ecosystem, which we could determine ecological factors such as abundance, importance value index and basal area. Within this study found that the most abundant within our plots in trees botanical families is the family Mimosaceae greater representation of individuals per plot, shrubs instead on the most abundant botanical family was Euphorbiaceae. There being a large number of botanical families. As species was found that the most representative Eriotheca ruizii was a greater abundance compared to the other species found in our plots. Regarding shrubs, species abundance was more Croton sp. With a large number of individuals. With regard to the species Tabebuia chrysantha youth was the most representative within our sample plots showing a large number of individuals
