Las plantaciones forestales son monocultivos que han venido en aumento a nivel mundial. Estos sistemas son menos diversos en comparación con bosques originales, pero pueden aportar a la conservación de la biodiversidad ya que son usadas por muchas especies, incluso algunas amenazadas. Este potencial debe evaluarse en cada localidad. En este trabajo se registró la abundancia relativa y se midió la diversidad verdadera de mamíferos terrestres, arborícolas y voladores, en cinco núcleos forestales de coníferas y de teca en las regiones Andina y Caribe de Colombia, y se comparó con coberturas nativas aledañas. El 78 % y 71 % de los mamíferos presentes en los sitios visitados fueron registrados al interior de las plantaciones de coníferas y teca, respectivamente. Al interior de ambos tipos de plantaciones se encontraron especies amenazadas como Leopardus tigrinus y Saguinus oedipus. Los perfiles de diversidad fueron similares entre bosques y plantaciones en casi todos los grupos. Hubo diferencias significativas solo para los mamíferos terrestres en las plantaciones de coníferas. Se encontraron diferencias en la abundancia relativa entre ambas coberturas para todos los grupos con una tendencia a menor abundancia en las plantaciones, lo cual indica que estas ofrecen un hábitat de menor calidad para los mamíferos silvestres, pero las plantaciones visitadas distan de ser “desiertos verdes” y por el contrario mostraron que son sistemas diversos. La riqueza de especies y la presencia de especies amenazadas son atributos que deben ser incluidos en los planes de manejo forestal y en el diseño del paisaje regional.

Forest plantations are monocultures that have been increasing worldwide. These systems are less diverse compared to original forest, but they may contribute to the conservation of local biodiversity since these are used by many species, even some of conservation concern. The relative abundance and the true diversity were measured for volant and non-volant medium and large mammals in five tree plantations projects in the Andean and Caribbean regions of Colombia, and compared with native forest. 78 % and 71 % of the mammals present in the five localities were registered inside the coniferous and teak plantations, respectively. Threatened species such as Leopardus tigrinus and Saguinus Oedipus, were found in both types of tree plantations. The diversity profiles were similar between the native forest and tree plantations in almost all groups, only terrestrial mammals in coniferus plantations had significant differences. Differences in relative abundance between both forest and plantations were found for all mammal groups. We observed lower mammalian abundance in the tree plantations, which indicates that these modified ecosystems provide lower quality habitat for mammals, but there were far from being “green deserts”, on the contrary they were diverse systems. Species richness and the presence of threatened species are attributes that must be included in plantation management plans and in regional landscape designs.
