          Abstract

          Se comparó la distribución de las hierbas y arbustos bajo el dosel y en dos tamaños de claros del bosque deciduo de Nothofagus pumilio de Argentina. La riqueza total y promedio de especies por cuadrado fueron similares bajo el dosel y en los claros pequeños (diámetro mayor < 5 m) y medianos (diámetro mayor entre 5-10 m). Las especies generalistas fueron las más numerosas (46 %), mientras que el 19 % correspondió a especies heliófobas y el 15 % a heliófilas obligadas y facultativas. La ausencia de diferencias en la riqueza de especies entre los ambientes comparados puede ser atribuida a: (1) la alta frecuencia de especies generalistas, (2) el bajo efecto de la formación de los claros en la distribución de las especies heliófobas, (3) la persistencia de especies heliófobas en los claros, principalmente pequeños, (4) la invasión de los claros por especies heliófilas obligadas. La heterogeneidad del ambiente lumínico bajo el dosel y el efecto sobre las condiciones microclimáticas de los claros de los árboles marginales y los arbustos, son posibles causas de los patrones encontrados. Aunque con variaciones entre distintas formas de vida, las especies del bosque estudiado son probablemente tolerantes al bajo nivel de alteración generado por la dinámica natural del bosque

          Translated abstract

          The distribution of herbs and shrubs under closed canopies and in two canopy gaps of different size was compared in a Nothofagus pumilio deciduous forest of Argentina. The total and the average species richness per plot were similar between the areas under the canopy and in small (maximum diameter < 5 m) and medium size gaps (maximum diameter 5-10 m). Generalist species were the most numerous (46 %), while obligate and facultatively shade-tolerant (heliophobous) and intolerant (heliophilous) species accounted for 19 and 15 % of the species, respectively. The absence of differences in species richness may be attributed to: (1) high frequency of generalist species (2) low effect of gap formation on shade-tolerant species distribution, (3) persistence of facultatively shade-tolerant species in small gaps, (4) gap invasion by obligate shade-intolerant species. The heterogeneity of light environment beneath the canopy and the effects on gap microclimate of edge trees and gap shrubs are possible causes of these patterns. Although with variations between the different biological groups, forest species are probably tolerant to the low level of disturbance generated by the natural forest dynamics
