En cada sitio se registró longitud, número de hojas y crecimiento total, temperatura, humedad, concentración de CO2, y cantidad de hojarasca producida. Se hizo un análisis de varianza de medidas repetidas y una prueba de t. La menor temperatura (20,79 ± 2,8 °C), mayor concentración de CO2 (169,10 ± 12,19) y humedad (40,13 ± 8,26) se registraron en el sitio cerrado, donde los arbustos crecen más (t118 = 3,83, P = 0,0002), producen más hojas (86,21 ± 43,31 gr) y alcanzaron mayor tamaño. Se concluye que la cobertura vegetal influye en el crecimiento y producción de hojas de Pittocaulon praecox.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The effect of vegetal cover on growth and leaves production of Pittocaulon praecox in two contrasting sites, close and open, in a xerophytic shrub was evaluated. In each site length, number of leaves, total growth, soil temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration and litter production were recorded. Data were analyzed by Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance and a t test. The low temperature (20.79 ± 2.8 °C), higher CO2 concentration (169.10 ± 12.19) and humidity (40.13 ± 8.26) were recorded in the close site were shrubs are taller (t118 = 3.83, P = 0.0002) and produce more leaves (86.21 ± 43.31 gr). The vegetal cover has an important effect on growth and leaves production of Pittocaulon praecox in the studied area.]]></p></abstract>
