Beschreibung:Lomas Barbudal Biological Reserve (LBBR) is located in San Ramon, Bagaces, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and has an area of 6,537.69 acres. This research aims to analyze the situation of the arboreal component in the Biological Reserve in order to assess the conditions of the forest resources. These conditions are determined through a forest inventory, which includes ecosystem services, diversity indices, ecological importance, and characterization of the forest. Results showed that species with higher Value Index Importance (V.I.I.) were: Sweitenia macrophylla, Bursera simarouba, Astronium graveolens, and Pseudobombax septenatum. On the other hand, most of the registered species had a good condition, demonstrating the high potential of seeds in this Reserve and its importance of connectivity with other protected areas.
