Abstract

The urban tree species of the city of Loja provide multiple ecosystem services. However, the limited knowledge about their structure and growth hinders their management in arboriculture plans. Therefore, this study examined the anatomical characteristics of the wood from the ten most common tree species (nine broadleaved and one conifer) in the city of Loja. The analysis included qualitative, quantitative, and intra-annual aspects, using micrometric cuts in tangential, transversal, and radial planes and was based on the nomenclatura of the International Association of Wood Anatomists (IAWA). The results showed that, although the qualitative anatomical characteristics of the wood do not vary according to the growth site, the quantitative ones do. The most common anatomical features in broadleaved species were solitary vessels, alternate pitting, fiber walls ranging from thin to thick, and procumbent cell rays of 1 and 3 series. On an intra-annual basis, the differentiation between early and late wood was evident by the diameter of the vessels and fibers, a key aspect to better visualize the growth rings. Consequently, it is concluded that the anatomical characteristics, particularly the quantitative ones such as the length and diameter of the vessels, can serve as valuable site indicators to assess the adaptability of forest species in different urban areas of Loja.
