  • Encino En Guadalupe Y Calvo, Chihuahua Diversity and Vertical
    Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales Vol. 10 (53) May – June (2019) DOI: https://doi.org/10.29298/rmcf.v10i53.173 Article Diversidad y estructura vertical del bosque de pino– encino en Guadalupe y Calvo, Chihuahua Diversity and vertical structure of the pine-oak forest in Guadalupe y Calvo, Chihuahua Samuel Alberto García García1, Raúl Narváez Flores1, Jesús Miguel Olivas García1 y Javier Hernández Salas1 Resumen Se evaluaron áreas con y sin manejo forestal de la Umafor 0808 Guadalupe y Calvo, Chihuahua; gestionadas mediante el Método Mexicano de Ordenación de Bosques Irregulares (MMOBI). Se analizó y comparó la información de conglomerados del Inventario Nacional Forestal y de Suelos (2004-2009); 95 en masas con manejo y 27 sin manejo. Se determinó la estructura vertical por medio de la regeneración natural, pisos de altura de los árboles y posición sociológica. Las especies con distribución continua, desde el piso inferior de la regeneración hasta el piso arbóreo superior en el bosque con manejo fueron: Pinus durangensis, P. arizonica, P. ayacahuite, P. herrerae y P.engelmannii; mientras que, en el bosque sin manejo se registraron: P. durangensis y P. arizonica. Las principales diferencias entre los bosques estudiados correspondieron al promedio de altura en el piso arbóreo superior; en los bosques con manejo fue de 30.16 m y en los sin manejo, su valor fue de 21.86 m; además, se observó una mayor regeneración de P. durangensis en los primeros. Respecto a la diversidad de especies, no hubo diferencia significativa entre ambos tipos de bosque (P>0.05). Por lo anterior, se concluye que, de acuerdo con la información analizada, la regulación del aprovechamiento maderable con el MMOBI permite mantener la diversidad estructural y de especies, similar a la de un bosque natural sin manejo.

  • Spatial Patterns in a Prosopis – Juniperus Savannah
    The Texas Journal of Agriculture and Natural Resources 30:63-77 (2017) 63 © Agricultural Consortium of Texas Spatial Patterns in a Prosopis – Juniperus Savannah Steven Dowhower Richard Teague*1 Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, Texas A&M University System, Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center, P.O. Box 1658, Vernon, TX, USA. ABSTRACT We determined the distribution patterns and distance to nearest neighbor for Prosopis glandulosa and Juniperus pinchotii trees and saplings in west Texas to examine the intra- and interspecific spacing patterns of juvenile and mature trees to relate these patterns to their establishment dynamics on deep and shallow soils. Ordination was used to compare microsite vegetation associated with open grassland habitat and habitat proximal to big and small Prosopis and Juniperus plants. Analysis of similarities provided a multivariate index and probability of differences of vegetation between and among groups. Big Juniperus trees were randomly distributed on both soils, while the big Prosopis trees were random on the deep soil but aggregated on the shallow soil. Saplings of both species were strongly aggregated on both soils. Big and small Juniperus plants were positively associated with the dominant, established Prosopis trees and with litter cover but were negatively associated with bare soil and C4 grasses. In contrast, small Prosopis plants were negatively associated with both Juniperus and Prosopis trees on either soil and were positively associated with bare soil and C4 grasses. Prosopis trees facilitate establishment of Juniperus on deep or shallow soils, but Prosopis presence is probably not necessary for Juniperus establishment on either soil. The presence of big and small Juniperus plants close to and under the canopies of Prosopis trees and the inability of Prosopis seedlings to establish near Prosopis or Juniperus plants indicates that Juniperus trees would eventually dominate on the deep as well as the shallow soils.

ABSTRACT Background. Mexico is one of the most floristically rich countries in the world. Despite significant contributions made on the understanding of its unique flora, the knowledge on its diversity, geographic distribution and human uses, is still largely fragmented. Unfortunately, deforestation is heavily impacting this country and native tree species are under threat. The loss of trees has a direct impact on vital ecosystem services, affecting the natural capital of Mexico and people's livelihoods. Given the importance of trees in Mexico for many aspects of human well-being, it is critical to have a more complete understanding of their diversity, distribution, traditional uses and conservation status. We aimed to produce the most comprehensive database and catalogue on native trees of Mexico by filling those gaps, to support their in situ and ex situ conservation, promote their sustainable use, and inform reforestation and livelihoods programmes. Methods. A database with all the tree species reported for Mexico was prepared by compiling information from herbaria and reviewing the available floras. Species names were reconciled and various specialised sources were used to extract additional species information, i.e.

Within the great diversity of pines in Mexico, Pinus culminicola Andresen et Beaman, P. jaliscana Perez de la Rosa, P. maximartinenzii Rzed., P. nelsonii Shaw, P. pinceana Gordon, and P. rzedowskii Madrigal et M. Caball. are six catalogued as threatened or endangered due to their restricted distribution and low population density. Therefore, they are of special interest for forest conservation purposes. In this paper, we aim to provide up-to-date information on the spatial distribution of these six pine species according to different historical registers coming from different herbaria distributed around the country by using spatial modeling. Therefore, we recovered historical observations of the natural distribution of each species and modelled suitable areas of distribution according to environmental requirements. Finally, we evaluated the distributions by contrasting changes of vegetation in the period 1991–2016.

  • The Tolerance of Pinus Patula 3 Pinus Tecunumanii, and Other Pine Hybrids, to Fusarium Circinatum in Greenhouse Trials
    New Forests (2013) 44:443–456 DOI 10.1007/s11056-012-9355-3 The tolerance of Pinus patula 3 Pinus tecunumanii, and other pine hybrids, to Fusarium circinatum in greenhouse trials R. G. Mitchell • M. J. Wingfield • G. R. Hodge • E. T. Steenkamp • T. A. Coutinho Received: 7 August 2011 / Accepted: 29 June 2012 / Published online: 10 July 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract The field survival of Pinus patula seedlings in South Africa is frequently below acceptable standards. From numerous studies it has been determined that this is largely due to the pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum. Other commercial pines, such as P. elliottii and P. taeda, show good tolerance to this pathogen and better survival, but have inferior wood properties and do not grow as well as P. patula on many sites in the summer rainfall regions of South Africa. There is, thus, an urgent need to improve the tolerance of P. patula to F. circinatum. Operational experience indicates that when P. patula is hybridized with tolerant species, such as P. tecunumanii and P. oocarpa, survival is greatly improved on the warmer sites of South Africa. Field studies on young trees suggest that this is due to the improved tolerance of these hybrids to F. circinatum. In order to test the tolerance of a number of pine hybrids, the pure species representing the hybrid parents, as well as individual families of P. patula 9 P. tecunumanii, a series of greenhouse screening trials were conducted during 2008 and 2009. The results indicated that species range in tolerance and hybrids, between P.

Ambystoma altamirani (Mountain Stream Siredon) is listed as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List and as Threatened by the Mexican government. We report on the distribution, abundance, occupancy, population structure, and substrate use of A. altamirani, a stream dwelling salamander, along the Arroyo los Axolotes, Sierra de las Cruces, Mexico. We observed A. altamirani at least once during repeated surveys between February 2018 to December 2018 in 24 of 25 permanent 5-m long reaches separated by 40 m. The best model for occupancy had constant occupancy, detection, extinction, and colonization probabilities. Sites that dried at some time during the study had fewer observed individuals than those that did not dry. Size structure was relatively constant throughout the year, except for the appearance of small larvae in May, June, and July.
