| description | Companion planting with other plant species in a production system, is a way; to keep, integrates and articulates aspects of the natural environment –ecological– and the economic and social environments. In this regard, one of the most successful agro forestry systems has been the one associated to cocoa cultivation, given the condition of the plant species Ombrofila undergrowth, which requires the use of permanent and semi-permanent shadows. However, alternatives should be presented to producers as they are the ones that decide how and which species to associate with their cultivation, which vegetation type to keep associated with, knowing in advance the horizontal and vertical structure, composition, degree of floristic similarity and the relationship of the structure of production and ecosystem services. This study was conducted in agroforestry systems associated to cocoa cultivation, located in four municipalities in the north of Huila, southern Colombia. Forty plots (20 x 50 m) type Gentry were established, and 51 samples of lifting of vegetation between June and August 2015 were taken, all individuals with a diameter at breast height (DBH) were registered in an inventory 1.30 m greater than 2.5 cm, 2820 individuals were registered in total, corresponding to 74 species distributed in 61 genera and 29 families. The richest family regarding the number of genera and species is Fabaceae (10 genera / 13 species), in terms of genus Ficus plant is the richest with four (4) species. |
