Characterization of tree species associated with the cultivation of coffee (Coffea Arabica L.) in south of Colombia.
the investigation indicates the importance of the vegetation surveys as an opening up alternative for the knowledge of the main species in order to associate with the coffee system and generate sustainable services and a better coffee. The work was carried out in the municipalities of Sandoná, Consacá and The Florida, located in the coffee ecotope 221A, in the department of Nariño. The information was collected through a random survey with an open answer. Due to the data analysis it was found that 93, 97 and 99% of the coffee farms with species of trees for the provision of shade for Sandoná, Consacá and The Florida respectively, presented one or more associated tree species. Regarding the relative index of abundance for Sandoná, Consacá and The Florida, it was found that the species with the highest percentage were guamo, with 14.5, 17 and 18% respectively; the orange tree, with 12.3, 13 and 14% respectively; avocado, with 11, 10 and 10% respectively; and lemon, with 11.8, 13 and 16% respectively. The species richness, dominated by guamos, orange trees and lemons was presented by a high diversity of 0.91 for Sandoná, 0.9 for Consacá and 0.89 for The Florida. For the similarity index, values of 0.65 were presented between Sandoná and Consacá; likewise, between Sandoná and the Florida, the index was 0.57. Similarly, the index of 0.71 was presented for Consacá and The Florida. The farms presented the associated systems of a coffee production, highlighting guamo and citrus as the main species.
