%X The restoration of ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged or transformed
seeks to return the ecosystem to its historic trajectory, so it can recover its
composition, structure and dynamics. In 2001, a restoration project based on the
acceleration of succession was initiated in Filandia (Quindío), which sought to
restore the functional connectivity between Bremen forest reserve and Barbas river
canyon that had been isolated due to the fragmentation of anthropogenic actions.
Initially, landscape characterization was performed by biological groups of plants,
birds and ants, threatened and endemic species were determined, later four
corridors that connected the two areas were established using different restoration
strategies as the rescue of seedlings, saplings and rescue use of species with high
regrowth capacity, supported by a vivarium, which was a key element in achieving
accelerated successional processes. Since its establishment, the corridors have
been evaluated considering biological indicators such as mammals, birds and
plants, but no studies have been conducted using abiotic indicators. This study
aims to estimate the effectiveness of ecological restoration strategies, using the
physicochemical characteristics of the soil as an indicator. To achieve this goal the
physicochemical characteristics of three landscape elements were analyzed, the
comparison was made between them and also were compared the results obtained
with a soil test conducted in 2005.
