Ecological Relationships Between Woody Species Diversity and Propagation Strategies of <i>Aulonemia queko</i>.

ABSTRACT: This study explores how floristic composition, diversity, and woody vegetation structure vary across floristic zones in Andean montane forests under the dominance of Aulonemia queko Goudot (Poaceae, Bambusoideae) dominance. As a culturally and ecologically significant non-timber forest product, A. queko plays a key role in shaping plant communities and requires effective propagation strategies for sustainable management. Significant differences in floristic composition were observed among zones, with indicator species identified in the lower and upper zones. However, despite environmental variability, species richness and structural attributes remained stable across the elevation gradient, suggesting resilience in woody plant communities. A. queko density was highest i
