Abstract
In the different types of landscape of Tarapacá (Amazonas-Colombia) the vertical distribution of the bryophytes was studied, being found that around 41% of the species are exclusive of the canopy and 35% exclusive of the understory. Furthermore, there is analyzed the selectivity of the bryophytes species for different types of habitats (trunk, low bark, high bark, low branches, high branches, foliicolous, rocks, soil and rotten trunks fallen down) and their growth forms. In all the landscape types, the selectivity of the bryophytes was greater for the low bark and the habitats of the canopy (leaves and canopy branches more than 18m high), with the more common growth forms (smooth mats, rough mats and threads) and the larger number of species („Specialist“ o „Generalist“).
