POLANCO TAPIA, César  y  GRANDE PULIDO, Diana Carolina. Ecoanatomical, developing and comparative analysis of 40 wood species belonging to two associations in colombian Andes highland forest. Colomb. for. [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.1, pp.183-203. ISSN 0120-0739.

In this paper we conducted a relationship of the timber found with ecological aspects arising from an earlier study of the characterization, structure and floral composition practiced in the Cárpatos Forest Reserve, bordering the site from which wood samples were obtained. This comparison shows a strong link between the microscopic anatomical characteristics of vegetal species with the type of association to which they belong. For example, characters such as the grouping form, the type of perforated and intervessel pits, height, number of cells wide, stratification and type of cells that make up the radio and type fiber, show a greater degree of change in the exclusive species of Ocotea callophylla-Weinmannietum pinnatae (OW) association, while the same characters show minor changes in the exclusive species of Clusia multiflorae - Weinmannietum balbisianae(CW) association. The evolution of the timber was identified through an index that suggests the research based on references like Carlquist (2001) and León (2001), and its relationship with the plant associations found in the study area is argued.

Palabras clave : evolutive index; ecoanatomy; comparative wood anatomy; vegetal association; xilology.
