Floristic diversity in a rural landscape of the lower slope in “Farallones of Cali”, Colombia
This study aimed to evaluate composition, structure and plant diversity of forest, scrub and grassland in a rural landscape of the piedmont of the “Farallones of Cali” in 2013. We sampled three replicates of forest and scrub which consisted of a total of 24 plots of 200 m2 to register trees, and 24...
