In these forests, the taxa with the greatest contribution of biomass cannot be precisely defined, and the representative distribution of Myristicaceae in the Peruvian Amazon was the starting point for designing the present study, which aimed to quantify the biomass contribution of this family. For this, I analyzed the databases that corresponded to 38 sample units that were previously collected and that were pro vided by the TeamNetwork and RAINFOR organizations. The analysis consisted in the estimation of biomass using preestablished allometric equations, KruskalWallis sample comparisons, interpolationanalysis maps, and nonparametric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). The results showed that Myristicaceae is the fourth most important biomass contributor with 376.97Mg/ha (9.92Mg/ha in average), mainly due to its abundance. Additionally, the family shows a noticeable habitat preference for certain soil conditions in the physiographic units, such is the case of Virola pavonis in “varillales”, within “floodplain”, or Iryanthera tessmannii and Virola loretensis in sewage flooded areas or “igapó” specifically, and the preference of Virola elongata and Virola surinamensis for white water flooded areas or “várzea” edaphic conditions of the physiographic units taken in the study. 2015 artículo científico 0034-7744 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44933764021 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=449 Revista de Biología Tropical application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista de Biología Tropical (Costa Rica) Num.1 Vol.63
