Description
Summary:This study was done in Cerro Bandera, Puerto Williams (55°S) Chile. Vascular plants and mosses of the study area were identified. The distribution patterns of the vascular plants and mosses among a northern and southern slope and among microhabitats were assessed. A total of 52 species were identified, of which 34 were mosses and 18 were vascular plants. Also the microhabitats preferences were very different between mosses and vascular plants. Se realizó un estudio donde se identificaron las especies de plantas vasculares y musgos presentes en el Cerro Bandera, Puerto Williams (55°S) Chile y se observaron los patrones de distribución entre una ladera de exposición ecuatorial y una ladera de exposición polar, y entre microhábitats dentro de cada ladera. Se registró un total de 52 especies, de las cuales 34 corresponden a musgos y 18 a plantas vasculares. Se encontraron diferencias en las preferencias de laderas y de microhábitats entre las distintas especies. Además se evidenció que las preferencias de microhábitats de los musgos fueron muy distintas a las de las plantas vasculares en ambas laderas.
