The status of forest species of a Colombian Pacific site (03°50'58''N, 77°0.0'2.1''W) important for the future is presented. The study determined the structure and spatial distribution pattern for 27 species. Three peri-urban plots, susceptible to short-term changes in structure and function, were assessed. They were in-ventaried by creating grids with number of individuals/grid. The structure was assessed by multidimensional analysis-AM and spatial distribution patterns based on Autocorrelation-AE, Dependence-DE and Spatial Heterogeneity-HE. The results showed random distribution of individuals and species, with a slight tendency to concentration. The values of Moran's I index were: Plot 1=0.196749, Plot 2=0.289136; Plot 3=-0.060681. The causes of this result are unknown and its implications should be discussed from discipline.
