Item Identificación de áreas para la siembra de especies forestales nativas en el bosque seco tropical del Valle del Cauca: una aplicación de los sistemas de información geográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023-02-15) Celorio Mosquera, Leidy Janeth; Cardona Zea, Diana AmparoThe Valle del Cauca is one of the few departments in Colombia that has the dry tropical forest ecosystem, however, its coverage is limited to small areas due to high degradation rates and the loss of biodiversity due to anthropogenic factors. In this project, priority planting areas, nurseries, and plant species that could be relevant in ecological projects for these ecosystems were identified. The multicriteria analysis was implemented to obtain the areas of interest (the evaluated criteria were degradation and soil use, distance to water sources, roads, and forest fragments); and species selection criteria based on their threat category, use, resistance, among others. The results show that 148 plant species meet the necessary criteria to be ideal in the plantings carried out in these ecosystems due to their ecological and cultural importance. Likewise, a local network of 69 nurseries was identified for the acquisition of these species, which can be strengthened and consolidated in the long term. In addition, 58,509 hectares were divided into 281 possible sites in the territory that could be intervened. This project generates valuable information on the use of geographic information systems (GIS) tools as a key complement in conservation strategies for tropical dry forests in Valle del Cauca
