Abstract: La comunidad de plantulas de la Estacion Biologica Cocha Cashu ha sido monitoreada desde el ano 2003. Se siguio el destino de 5,149 plantulas de arboles en un periodo de 7 anos. Aqui presentamos datos puntuales sobre la estructura y la dinamica de la comunidad de plantulas. Las plantulas pertenecen a 265 taxa, representando a 61 familias. Muchas especies son muy raras: 28% del total de especies existen a una densidad menor de 1 individuo por 100 m2. La lista de las plantulas mas comunes concuerda con la de los arboles adultos, al menos a nivel de genero, pero siempre ocurren excepciones interesantes. Las especies mas comunes se encuentran espacialmente en grupo, probablemente por que provienen de las llamadas “alfombras de plantulas” las cuales agrupan a las plantulas de una especie a altas densidades. Este reporte ilustra la diversidad y el dinamismo de las plantulas de este extraordinario bosque. Los estudios a largo plazo son esenciales para detectar los patrones que tienen las especies mas raras, lo cual no se puede ocurrir en estudios de corto plazo. Es por eso que el valor de nuestro programa de monitoreo en EBCC debe seguir creciendo.

English Abstract: The Cocha Cashu Biological Station (CCBS) seedling community has been monitored since 2003. The fate of 5,149 tree seedlings was followed over a period of 7 years. Here we present specific data on the structure and dynamics of the seedling community. The seedlings belonged to 265 taxa, representing 61 taxonomic families. Many species are very rare: 28% of the total species exist at a density of fewer than 1 individual per 100m2. The list of the most common seedlings matches that of adult trees, at least at the genus level, but interesting exceptions occur frequently. The most common seedling species are found in spatial clusters, probably because they come from the so-called "seedling carpets" which group the seedlings of a species at high densities. This report illustrates the diversity and dynamism of the seedlings of this extraordinary forest. Long-term studies are essential to detect the patterns that the rarest species have, which cannot occur in short-term studies. That is why the value of our CCBS monitoring program must continue to grow.
