| Descripción: | The calden forest (Prosopis caldenia) is an endemic vegetation formation of Argentina, mainly distributed in the province of La Pampa. The economic value of the calden wood was one of the reasons why this forest is currently degraded and fragmented. That is why the existence of protected areas to preserve this forest mass is fundamental for its conservation. This work aimed to analyze the appearance and diversity of vegetation in the calden forest, in Luro Park Provincial Reserve, La Pampa province, Argentina. To do this, we applied methodologies of studying vegetation, diversity indices, values of importance and NDVI. The results showed a change of appearance in relation to the pristine forest. It is recognized that the shrubby stratum acquired greater coverage, although the calden continues to be the species with the highest value of importance in the forest. |
