| description |
Runoff water from cities can contain a significant amount of pollutants that are disposed of in the drainage systems without treatment. To counteract this problem, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) can be used, specifically the bioretention systems. Within these technologies, the use of plants is essential, but there is not a suitable list of native species for this purpose. The objective of this research is to define a group of native species that can be implemented in bioretention zones. To achieve this objective, we used herbarium records from three areas in the city of Bogotá with different precipitation levels and 12 criteria: species must be present in the evaluated sites, aesthetic value, safety, weeds, support to the biodiversity, endemic and social function. As a result, a list of 121 species was created, and such were sorted as 10 corresponding to trees, 41 to shrubs or subshrubs, 9 climbers, and 61 to herbs. The results depict the first approach to start using native species in Bogotá’s green infrastructure, and reveal the potential of local biodiversity to improve the city’s resilience and adaptability to climate change.

Las aguas de escorrentía de la ciudad pueden contener una carga contaminante importante y son dispuestas en los sistemas de drenaje sin tratamiento. Para contrarrestar esta problemática se pueden emplear los sistemas de biorretención, una tipología de los sistemas urbanos de drenaje sostenible (SUDS). En estas tecnologías el uso de plantas es fundamental, sin embargo, no se conocen las especies que puedan ser empleadas para este fin. El objetivo de este trabajo es definir un grupo de especies nativas que puedan ser probadas en zonas de biorretención. Para lograr este objetivo, fueron consultados los registros de herbario de tres zonas de Bogotá con diferentes niveles de precipitación y se evaluaron 12 criterios de selección: presencia en los sitios evaluados, valor estético, seguridad, maleza, soporte a la biodiversidad, endemismo y función social. Como resultado se definieron 121 especies, 10 correspondieron a árboles, 41 a arbustos o subarbustos, 9 trepadoras y 61 a hierbas. Los resultados son un primer acercamiento para comenzar a emplear especies nativas en la infraestructura verde de la ciudad, muestran el gran potencial de la biodiversidad de la región para este propósito, para mejorar la resiliencia y la adaptabilidad de la ciudad al cambio climático.
