--- This study was conducted in Shampuyacu’s native community, Awajún district, Rioja province, San Martin town. This study quantifies the tradicional knowledge about tree species’ use and it analyzes the relationship of knowledge about a species´use to its dominance and abundance in premontane humid forest. The methodology was based in an inventory of trees greater than 3 cm in diameter at breast height in eight plots of 1.1 ha to assess the abundance and dominance for each plant. After that, seventy-one natives were interviewed with collected plants through semi-estructured interviews, portables herbal, digital images. Consequently, the Cultural Importance index (IC) was employed to quantify the importance of each plant, then to relate its with abundance and dominance. The results showed that aguaruna community has eighty-four tree species distributed in sixty-one genera and thirty-one families, wich thirteen had only native names and seventy-one were had some uses; they were defined into six categories of use, the material category is the more popular than other categories, followed by human food. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the dominance and knowledge about a specie´use, but its relationship with the abundance was weak because there are some species might be getting pressure from selective logging by local people or inmigrants.
