dc.description	"""The Genus Inga in the Chocó Region"" explores one of the wettest, most biodiverse, and least documented areas on earth, focusing on the genus Inga (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae), a recently radiated plant group of the Neotropics. Despite numerous taxonomic, phylogenetic, and ecological studies on Inga in the Amazon and Central America, significant gaps remain in our understanding of this genus in the Chocó region. Studying Inga is crucial because delineating species boundaries allows society to recognize and manage this group of organisms effectively. This foundation is essential for environmental policies, ecotourism, land use management, natural resource conservation, and utilizing Inga species as food sources and in agroforestry systems. The book presents a new ecological delimitation of the Chocó region based on the Holdridge life zone approach, integrating definitions from previous studies and an altitude threshold. This geographic delimitation aims to enhance the understanding of the region. It also includes a comprehensive taxonomic and ecological review of Inga in the Chocó. The ultimate goal of this book is to improve the understanding of both the Chocó region and the genus Inga. It seeks to support the taxonomic identification of Inga species and advocates for intensified ecological and genetic studies to enhance conservation and management efforts in the Chocó."
dc.description.abstract	"This book explores the Chocó region, known for its biodiversity and as one of the wettest and least explored areas in the Neotropics. The primary focus is on the genus Inga (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae). It presents a new ecological delimitation of the Chocó, enhancing the understanding of its ecosystems. It documents 70 species of Inga, including five potential new species and eleven endemics. Additionally, a taxonomic guide is provided to facilitate the identification of these species. In ecological terms, plant communities in the Chocó contain many species of Inga, all distributed in the middle and emergent forest strata. ""The Genus Inga in the Chocó Region"" aims to enhance the understanding of both the Chocó region and the Inga genus, supporting taxonomic identification and advocating for ecological and genetic studies to improve knowledge about the genus, as well as conservation and management outcomes."
