CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPECIES

Baccharis bogotensis is a shrubby species that can reach heights of up to 3 meters, most of the time its branching begins at ground level, its foliage is intense green, its flowers are white and the fruits are small and brown.

ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE

It is a species called ruderal, that is, it appears in habitats that are altered by human action such as urban areas or roadsides. This tree resists extreme conditions such as frost, nutrient-poor soils, dry seasons, among others. Such behavior is of great importance in restoration dynamics since it induces the colonization process in other species and even prepares and improves soil characteristics for the establishment of more susceptible species (Secretary of the Environment, 2021).
