          Abstract

          Resumen: En los bosques secos tropicales del Caribe colombiano la diversidad de briófitos es muy poco conocida, a pesar de ser considerado como uno de los fragmentos de bosque en mejor estado de conservación. En el presente estudio se analizó la diversidad de este grupo de plantas en los Montes de María, Sucre, Colombia. En 6 localidades fueron identificados y cuantificados los briófitos, con base en esta información se estimó su diversidad biológica (α y β) y taxonómica (Δ+ y Λ+). Se registraron un total de 1,125 vástagos pertenecientes a 63 especies, 42 géneros y 23 familias. Las familias con mayor riqueza fueron: Neckeraceae, Pottiaceae, Sematophyllaceae, Lejeuneaceae y Plagiochilaceae, mientras que en los géneros sobresalieron: Fissidens, Neckeropsis y Sematophyllum. Colosó y Morroa fueron las localidades más diversas y San Onofre la menos diversa, siendo afectada por la fragmentación y destrucción del bosque. Este estudio constituye el primer aporte sobre los patrones de diversidad de briófitos en esta región del país, así como sus implicaciones para conocer la estructura de los ensambles en los ecosistemas secos tropicales.

          Abstract: In the tropical dry forests of the Colombian Caribbean bryophyte diversity is little known although this area presents the best preserved forest fragments. In this study, we analyzed bryophyte diversity in the “Montes de María”, Sucre, Colombia. Bryophytes were identified and quantified in 6 localities, on the basis of this information the taxonomic (Δ+ and Λ+) and biological (α and β) diversity were calculated. A total of 1,125 individuals belonging to 63 species, 42 genera and 23 families, were registered. Species-rich families were: Neckeraceae, Pottiaceae, Sematophyllaceae, Lejeuneaceae and Plagiochilaceae; while the genera: Fissidens, Neckeropsis, Sematophyllum, Lejeunea and Plagiochila, were important. Colosó and Morroa are the most diverse localities and San Onofre has the least diversity of all, because of forest fragmentation and destruction. This study constitutes the first contribution on the diversity patterns of bryophytes of this region of the country; as well as their implications for the structure of the assemblages in dry tropical ecosystems.
