CASTANO VILLA, Gabriel Jaime y MORALES BETANCOURT, Juan Alejandro. CONTRIBUTION OF A MIXED FOREST PLANTATION TO AVIFAUNA CONSERVATION AT RIO CAUCA CANYON, COLOMBIA. Rev. Fac. Nac. Agron. Medellín [online]. 2008, vol.61, n.1, pp.4358-4365. ISSN 0304-2847.
The avifauna of a forest mixed plantation at Cauca river canyon in Caldas department; was monitored during 10 months. Fifty nine understory resident species were captured, 10% of them presented high sensibility to habitat perturbation (forest specialists). Only those species with low sensibility (generalists) presented differences between monthly numbers of captures. Other 50 species associated to the plantation, including two endemics and 26% boreal migratory species were registered visually and/or by its vocalizations. The results suggest that this plantation plays a key role in the conservation of local avifauna, is habitat both for species associated with natural forests and for those with less habitat requirements. This type of reforestation with native species could be a restoration model for other degraded areas from the region.
