Abstract
In areas of Cuban Biosphere Reserves it is a high diversity of wild and cultivated plant species. As an objective of different research projects, led by the INIFAT, has accomplished the study of plant diversity of farmers of different areas of the Biosphere Reserves Sierra del Rosario (RBSR) and Cuchillas del Toa (RBCT) at Artemisa and Guantanamo province respectively. From the data bases of those projects we extracted diversity information of each farmer and its geographic localization and were introduced in a Microsoft Excel table an later in the Geographic Information System DIVA GIS ver. 7.5 where with a grid with cells size of 0,5 grade (5,3 km aprox), studies of richness and diversity (according to Shannon) were realized for the whole system, for each biosphere and for different landscapes zones of each one. Different patterns of richness and diversity were founded between both Biosphere areas and also between different landscapes zones of each one.
