Resumen

PRIEGO-SANTANDER, Ángel G. et al. Heterogeneidad del Paisaje y Riqueza de Flora: Su Relación en el Archipiélago de Camagüey, Cuba. INCI [online]. 2004, vol.29, n.3, pp.138-144. ISSN 0378-1844.

The Camagüey Archipiélago, on the north coast of the central-eastern part of Cuba, stands out by elevated biological values in well preserved landscapes. This paper explores the relation between heterogeneity of the physical-geographical landscapes and vascular plant richness in that territory. Richness and landscape diversity turned out to be variables that explain the plant species richness. The statistical model obtained explains over 82% of the relation. The results suggest that the plant richness can be predicted by the geoecological heterogeneity values. In this sense, it is suggested to explore the probable existence of zones of elevated biodiversity in areas of difficult access or poorly known, through the analysis of physical-geographical landscape heterogeneity.
