Abstract
The Tropical Dry Forest (bs-T in Spanish) is one of the most degraded ecosystems in the world. Its loss is due to the opening of the agricultural frontier, and to urbanization. In Colombia, this ecosystem is disappearing at an alarming speed, and there are very few projects for its restoration. In Valle del Cauca, southwest of the country, the system persists in a few relicts, as well as in patches such as parks, green areas and areas protected by civil society
within cities. Keeping in mind that natural vegetation and its restoration are elements that might affect urban biodiversity, the objective of this study was to initiate and evaluate, with insect bioindicators, a restoration process in one of the urban forest patches in Santiago de Cali. First, the site to be restored was visited, and a plan for the control of the invasive African grass known as guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus, Poaceae) was established. Secondly, two nurse tree species (Guazuma ulmifolia, Malvaceae and Inga densiflora, Fabaceae) were selected to break down the arrested succession maintained by the grass. The idea was to employ rapidgrowth pioneer species, with high survival rates, which could act as facilitators for the further establishment of other species in the ecological succession. Third, a continuous sampling was designed to measure the richness of soil ant species. Finally, the information of the indicator ant species of the restoration scenario was compared against two reference patches (urban and peri-urban). The ant species were mainly generalist ones in the restoration area during the whole one-year period without indication of ecological recovery. In contrast, some species of Azteca, Cephalotes, Gnamptogenys and Trachymyrmex were found in the reference patches, which include species restricted to forested sites. This possibly explains why they were not found in the restoration zone. The ultimate purpose of the study was to provide a base line to lead and monitor restoration processes, which is a national priority in the dry forest remnants.
