Introduction: Tropical riparian ecosystems are poorly known and integrate abiotic and biotic factors in the landscape, defining ecological processes along the river. Objective: To measure physical and biological indicators along a tropical river. Methods: Work was carried out in four Representative Zones of the Torres river during 2014 and 2015. At each site, the following were analyzed: a) soil loss; b) diversity of plants and vegetation cover; c) richness of birds; d) physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of the water. We worked with the Urban Ecosystem Quality Index of the Torres River (ICEURT) and the Water Quality Index (ICA-NSF). Results: A total of 365 plant species were identified, with the most diverse zone having 320 spec...
