Remote Start Causes Problems

existing master's thesis defense protects


The December 17, 2010, Mervin Perez Perez successfully defended his master's thesis entitled: Do novel Spathodea campanulata forests function as habitat for bryophyte? Analysis of diversity and establishment process . The thesis consisted of two chapters: the first describes the results of an ecological inventory of bryophytes in forests consist of exotic species Spathodea campanulata along a gradient of geological substrate and land use history, the second will recount the results of a multifactorial experiment determined habitat quality variables in the establishment of moss Neckeropsis . The thesis in pdf format will appear on the website of Graduate Studies Campus Universitario de Mayagüez.

With Mervin thesis defense met the last requirement for his Master of Science awarded by the Mayagüez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico. During the three years that Mervin was in the Tropical Bryology Laboratory, led by Dr. Ines Sastre-De Jesus, besides working on his thesis research also had the opportunity to collaborate with other lab projects such as bryophytes Biodome held in the Dominican Republic. As a result of these collaborations and training had three publications. After returning to Guatemala in January 2011 where he continued his work with the flora of his native country Bryology.

many years is common to see some of the Christmas decorations are composed of moss, grass and other plants but did you know that this practice is contributing to environmental pollution and erosion?

What are mosses?

are distributed world-wide plants living in moist places or near water. They are among the first organisms to colonize the rocks, then modify them to grow on its surface, forming a substrate that can embed other larger plants.

is common to find a way to carpets in humid forests, but also grow on the branches and trunks of all trees and are part of an extensive division of plants comprising more than 20 000 species worldwide, called Biofit (mosses, ferns, lichens, etc.).

Moss Benefits to the ecosystem

Mosses and other bryophytes play an essential role in ecosystems, because:

  • is able to retain up to 20 times its weight in water, absorbing excess water during rain and releasing it slowly in the dry season .
  • intercept, absorb and retain dissolved minerals in rain waters, allowing the incorporation of these in the ecosystem and reducing washing into rivers and seas.
  • Mosses home and provide protection to a number of small animals, especially invertebrates such as insects, spiders, rotifers, nematodes, molluscs and annelids.
  • They serve as nesting material for many birds and small mammals such as the hummingbird ( Sephanoidesgaleritus ). Protect

moss, hay (beard stick) and tree ferns (in fern stems). not remove them. Do not sell. Do not buy them.

Mosses, old man's beard and crow's feet at risk. Guatemala

The persecution of those who buy hemlock without marking it sum of those buying these species in the market for Christmas decorations.
The holiday season came and drench their passage traditions. To purchase add up the fir moss, old man's beard and crow's feet to decorate births. But they forget that these species are also found in the list of endangered species.


The Christmas Fair, which is in the fields of the Centro Universitario Metropolitano in zona11, the Plaza Barrios and 19th Street in Zone 1 on the market, with similar prices, a measure by Q10 or Q15. Sellers have
clear penalty if the National Council of Protected Areas (CONAP) surprises them with illegal fir, and not to these products. Buyers are in a similar situation. Macario
Wilmer, who attends a place in the Christmas Fair which also offers sawdust piedrín y manzanilla, se queja de los agentes de la Policía Nacional Civil que le decomisan su producto. Por eso no permiten que ingresen en el área.


Sin embargo, esa comercialización también es perseguida por el Conap, que pretende evitar su extinción para no afectar el hábitat. Algunas especies de insectos y anfibios hacen nidos en estas plantas, pero al no tenerlas la supervivencia quedaría en riesgo.
Los precios que el Conap cobra por marchamo es de Q8.50 por cada pinabete y Q10 por el quintal de musgo o barba de viejo, y Q0.05 por cada pata de gallo.

Existe sanción

Kart Duchez, director del departamento de Vida Silvestre del Conap, explica que estas three species are on the Endangered Species List Guatemala (LEA) for over ten years. Decree 4-89
The Protected Areas Law Articles 81bis and 82 sets penalties for violators of 5 to 10 years in prison and Q20 Q10 thousand thousand in fines for those who cut, collect, transport, market share or export parts or derivatives thereof of flora and fauna.


The head of the delegation of the Division of Nature Protection, Mario Avila, adding that in the same way it monitors the hemlock species are monitored. Some of the 11 arrested this year also transported moss or old man's beard, for what your case is complicated.

are asked to avoid use of natural species in Christmas decorations. Colombia

Upper Magdalena Corporation recalled the environmental impact and destruction caused by removing mosses and lichens.

A call to avoid the use of native vegetation in Christmas decorations, made the Alto Magdalena Corporation.
The entity asked to avoid the purchase of materials removed from the forest in Huila, moss, lichen and salvajina, marketed for the production of cribs.
"The removal of these species from forest and moorland to decorate the stalls, is having a serious impact on terrestrial ecosystems, mainly affecting the soils, the survival of other plants and animals, and acting directly on reducing the amount of water forest produce, "said the Corporation.
For lack of knowledge about the important role played by these species in the ecosystem, people often remove the forests indiscriminately for use as fertilizer, flower arrangements, making cribs and disposable decorative material.

What Is A Sedative Filling

No use of moss in the manger

TAKEN FROM COLOMBIA NEWS

At Christmas time, these small plants are in vogue because they are used in many homes to decorate the stalls. But the truth is that without control extraction is very harmful to the environment.

Mosses are some biological organisms with a wide distribution on the planet. Have their maximum abundance and diversity in areas with low to intermediate temperatures, high humidity as well as in the case of the Andean forests.

forgotten Although some plants from the ecological point of view and by its very size, play important roles in the hydrological cycle and biogeochemical forest. Also serve as a shelter for the establishment of many other species. "Are drivers of erosion, have the capacity to store large amounts of water. In fact, organisms with a high potential for use in the pharmaceutical industry and have antioxidant and anti-fungal compounds, "said Alvaro Duque, associate professor in the Department of Forestry.

For teachers , harvesting and use of the moss is only effective if done in cypress plantations. This statement, which came after an investigation led by the Conservation Group, Use and Biodiversity of the UN in Medellín and the Autonomous Regional Corporation of North and Central Antioquia, would allow farmers to find a sustainable economic alternative to market these plants, but, above all, there would be no negative impact on the environment.

For professor, one of the most troubling problems is the indiscriminate harvesting of mosses in certain ecosystems, which may have an effect on the hydrological cycle regulation, increased erosion and soil loss. "For example, secondary forests located in areas around Medellin could be much more impacted by the indiscriminate harvesting of moss, "he said.

Any solution? Duque said that can be sustainably harvested and is best done under cypress plantations (where they are in greater abundance), as in the village of Santa Elena. "That already made reports, which have been delivered to the Regional Corporation Corantioquia, in which we propose that a cycle of crop rotation and harvesting system under which local farmers have about a 20% annual stock would maintain the current populations sizes that are viable and sustainable, "he said.

The teacher explained that although this recommendation is made, the reality is different, there is a legal ban. "For this, one must be in a community very well structured because when you say that this can be done, farmers will wipe out everything because there is a culture of sustainable use."

"People who work with moss makes a loss. That is, collect a package and sell for five thousand dollars on the illegal market without competitive prices to generate profits. What is missing is the commercialization of resources, because as worthless, they do not value it enough, "he said.

ARE SOME PLANTS millennia, which play a vital role in the hydrological cycle, retain soil moisture and prevent erosion. They are also indicators of pollution. Not destroy or even for a manger.
One of the traditions that were in Antioquia was out on family walks to the forests of eastern Antioquia in order to collect the moss for the construction of the manger. For many years, still looks ", was bought from the farmers at the edge of the roads or in some marketplaces.

ignore both those who sell and those who buy, they are committing a serious ecological damage and, in turn, are subject to fines.

Mosses are some biological organisms with a wide distribution on the planet. Have their maximum abundance and diversity in areas with low to intermediate temperatures, high humidity as well as in the case of the Andean forests.

These ancient vascular plants play a very important soil retain moisture and prevent its degradation, and also constitute an important refuge for small invertebrates. Often

find a way to carpet on the floor of the rainforest. But as the estimated 24,000 species recorded, is also frequently found on branches and trunks of trees, on roofs of buildings and even concrete walls

Your indiscriminate collection can be very aggressive with the environment and cause serious damage our ecosystems. They serve important functions in the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles of the forest.

"Are drivers of erosion, have the capacity to store large quantities of water. In fact, agencies with a high potential for use in the pharmaceutical industry and have antioxidant compounds and antifungal agents, "explains Alvaro Duque, associate professor in the Department of Forestry.

As he also says Jorge Suarez Puerta, an agronomist by profession, for whom the mosses are indicators of contamination of soil, air and water.

For Alvaro Duque, one of the most troubling problems is the indiscriminate harvesting of mosses in certain ecosystems, which may have an effect on the hydrological cycle regulation, increased erosion and soil loss.

"For example, secondary forests located in areas around Medellin could be much more impacted by indiscriminate harvesting moss "he said.

Any solution? Duke explains that can be harvested sustainably and is best done under cypress plantations (where they are in greater abundance), as in the village of Santa Elena.

No But not all farmers grow it themselves and instead are many who still sell to the mangers and the pots, with the aggravation of taking it from where you are. So confesses Albeiro Soto, a native of Rio Negro and seller flowers.

Both Duke and Smith agree on the need to educate the community. While these experts know of the existence of a legal ban, missing bodies.

You help. moss not buy and make your crib with synthetic materials. Protect nature.

On Christmas leave in the forest moss

TAKEN FROM: THE DAILY Otun

For many people put together the Christmas crib is not funny but there is an element such as moss, because according to them is more beautiful, more natural and more elegant to put an artificial fades with the passing of the years.


What many do not know or do "blind eye" is that the moss in their natural environment plays a major role in the ecosystem, because it only serves to retain moisture, but it helps regulate this precious liquid in the various streams and rivers.


is, in the winter season makes an absorbing moss the greatest amount of water falling, and then when it's sunny season or drought your system starts to release the liquid, which finally arrives near water sources where it is.


"It's important that people become aware of not making use of this natural resource, because the biggest losers as well as the entire urban population are the people who depend on water sources that originate in the vicinity of their farms, which serves to make their food and their daily grooming needs, "said Jaime Ignacio Ospina, who specializes in Forestry Administration of the card.


Another fact that is important taking into account whether he is currently thinking about going to destroy the environment, is that the time delay for that moss from meet 100 percent of their actual function, takes 2 to 3 years, when ecosystem that was removed will undergo a change in its environmental performance.


"This practice is very harmful to the woods because the level of reproduction of these mosses is very slow, which harms the tributaries," said Ospina. Therefore
think first about the damage he is causing to the ecosystem, and other artificial resources see an option.


"We hope people aware of the impact of that practice in this Christmas, "the official said.

The Provincial Ministry of Environment in Manabi days ago made the retention of moss in various positions Portoviejo center which will host the sale of this product from wildlife to use in Christmas arrangements. Roddy Macias, Provincial Director Environment, said that thanks to the intervention of members of the Department of Environmental Protection (UPMA) and the Police National Natural Heritage Unit (NPU) of the Environment was withholding where traders said that it is forbidden the sale of this product forest.
Macias explained that the moss is a form of vegetation that grows in humid forests of the province such as those located in or near the Wildlife Refuge and Coastal Marine Pacoche (in the rural area of \u200b\u200bManta), San Sebastian and Gold Ball Machalilla National Park and other places where there is a high humidity.
Moss plays an ecological role of naturally by retaining a large amount of moisture, thereby allowing the proliferation of a considerable diversity of microorganisms and even growth of floral species such as orchids.
