- Abstract
The Los Encinos research station is located near El Angel Ecological Reserve in Carchi province, northern Ecuador. The landscape is dominated by frailejón páramo with islands of Andean montane forest. In order to maintain the ecological functionality of the "forest islands", three planting strategies were tested with native species to form a habitat corridor. Species planted on the edge of the forest develop better than those in other sites. This demonstrates that in order to recuperate the native forests, it is more effective to use the remnants as a nucleus to increase the size of the forest.
