In this research, nine permanent plots each of one hectare were analyzed established in montane and premontane forest areas along an altitudinal gradient between 900 and 3000 masl in the provinces of Chanchamayo (seven plots) and Satipo (two plots) in the central jungle of Peru. After different intercensal measurement periods for each plot, all the trees with a DBH (diameter at breast height) greater than or equal to 10 cm were evaluated and remeasured, obtaining the parameters of tree diversity and floristic composition for the nine plots studied. Values of 480 to 781 individuals per hectare and from 45 to 162 species per hectare were obtained. In the studied montane forests, the families Melastomataceae, Lauraceae and Cunoniaceae had the highest levels of abundance of individuals and number of species. While in the studied premontane forests the families with the highest abundance of individuals and number of species were Moraceae, Fabaceae and Lauraceae. In six of the plots the forest dynamics was studied based on the number of dead individuals and recruits, obtaining annual mortality and recruitment rates for each forest. The values of the annual mortality rates were from 2.65% to 5.20%. While the annual recruitment rates were from 2.81% to 5.96%. Of these six forests, four had growth in their population density, one maintained a dynamic equilibrium and the other presented a decrease in its population. The floristic composition of the studied forests changes according to the altitudinal elevation, with characteristic species, genera and families for the premontane and montane strata.
