Assessing the Internal Structural Integrity of Ceroxylon Palms Using Sonic Tomography in Tropical Montane Forests of the Peruvian Andes
Palms of the genus Ceroxylon constitute a key component of Andean tropical montane forests; however, their internal structural integrity has been scarcely studied in Peru. The present study assessed the internal structural condition of natural populations within the Private Conservation Area (PCA) Bosque de Palmeras of the Taulía-Molinopampa (Amazonas, Peru) using sonic tomography. A total of 64 individuals distributed across four zones with differing degrees of anthropogenic disturbance—Mixed Forest (MF),
