Los bosques costeros inundables tienen gran importancia para los procesos en el Planeta Tierra, en estos lugares se puede encontrar especies end\u00e9micas (aquellas que solo habitan en un lugar determinado), especies de importancia comercial, poseen gran diversidad y al mismo tiempo, disminuyen los efectos de los fen\u00f3menos naturales como los huracanes y la erosi\u00f3n costera (Mori, 1989). Como ejemplos de estos ecosistemas en Costa Rica se pueden encontrar manglares y cativales, este \u00faltimo se puede encontrar en Lim\u00f3n, espec\u00edficamente en Gandoca y en el Pac\u00edfico Sur, en Golfo Dulce cerca de Playa Cativo. 
Los cativales son bosques monoespec\u00edficos donde la especie dominante es Prioria copaifera<\/em>, la cu\u00e1l por su r\u00e1pido crecimiento y la alta calidad de su madera es muy utilizado para la extracci\u00f3n maderera, por lo que en pa\u00edses como Colombia y Panam\u00e1 hubo una reducci\u00f3n de aproximadamente un 50% de este ecosistema (Giraldo & Del Valle, 2011).


Por una parte, en este ecosistema crecen diferentes especies vegetales, encontr\u00e1ndose varias especies de heliconias que atraen con su n\u00e9ctar a diferentes aves como los colibr\u00edes, a mariposas y otros insectos. Asimismo, los \u00e1rboles le\u00f1osos poseen frutos y semillas que son alimento de muchos mam\u00edferos, como los monos, tepezcuintes, guatusas, tigrillos, jaguar, manigordo, entre otros. Tambi\u00e9n les da refugio y albergue a diferentes especies de aves, serpientes, ranas, mam\u00edferos y crust\u00e1ceos (Calvo, 2008).


En un estudio reciente se reportaron 68 especies de \u00e1rboles le\u00f1osos y herb\u00e1ceos, distribuidos en 44 familias diferentes, entre los arbustos m\u00e1s abundantes se encontraron palmas, zainillo, anturios, heliconias, helechos, piper\u00e1ceas y las especies arb\u00f3reas con m\u00e1s abundancia se encontraron varias especies de leguminosas y especies de la familia combret\u00e1ceae. Asimismo, se encontraron especies animales asociadas a estas especies como por ejemplo mariposas y guatusas (\u00c1lvarez-S\u00e1nchez, Piedra-Castro, Cordero, 2017).


Por otra parte, son de gran importancia por la alta fijaci\u00f3n de carbono, por lo que contribuyen en la mitigaci\u00f3n del cambio clim\u00e1tico, en estudios recientes se evidenci\u00f3 que este ecosistema esta fijando m\u00e1s carbono que el manglar de T\u00e9rraba-Sierpe y bosques secundarios tropicales (\u00c1lvarez-S\u00e1nchez, 2018), por lo cual es importante estudiar para conservar este ecosistema


Coastal floodplain forests are of great importance for processes on Planet Earth, in these places you can find endemic species (those that only inhabit in a particular place), of commercial importance species, have great diversity, at the same time the effects of natural phenomena such as hurricanes and coastal erosion are reduced (Mori, 1989). As examples of these ecosystems can be found in Costa Rica, mangroves and cativales, the latter can be found in Lim\u00f3n, specifically in Gandoca and in the South Pacific, in Golfo Dulce near Playa Cativo.


The cativales are monospecific forests where the dominant species is Prioria copaifera<\/em>, which due to its rapid growth and the high quality of its wood is widely used for timber extraction, so that in countries like Colombia and Panama there was a reduction of approximately 50 % of this ecosystem (Giraldo & Del Valle, 2011).


On the one hand, different plant species grow in this ecosystem, finding several species of heliconia that attract different birds such as hummingbirds, butterflies and other insects with their nectar. Likewise, woody trees have fruits and seeds that are food for many mammals, such as monkeys, tepezcuintes, guatusas, tigrillos, jaguar, manigordo, among others. It also gives shelter to different species of birds, snakes, frogs, mammals and crustaceans (Calvo, 2008).


In a recent study, 68 species of woody and herbaceous trees were reported, distributed in 44 different families, among the most abundant shrubs were palms, zainillo, anthuriums, heliconia, ferns, piper and the arboreal species with more abundance were several species of legumes and species of the famuliy combret\u00e1ceae. Likewise, animal species associated with these species were found, such as butterflies and guatusas (\u00c1lvarez-S\u00e1nchez, Piedra-Castro, Cordero, 2017).


On the other hand, they are of great importance due to their high carbon fixation, which is why they contribute to the mitigation of climate change. In recent studies it was evidenced that this ecosystem is fixing more carbon than the T\u00e9rraba-Sierpe mangrove and tropical secondary forests ( \u00c1lvarez-S\u00e1nchez, 2018), which is why it is important to study to conserve this ecosystem
