  • Determining the Vulnerability of Mexican Pine Forests to Bark Beetles of the Genus Dendroctonus Erichson (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
    Determining the vulnerability of Mexican pine forests to bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus Erichson (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Y. Salinas-Morenoa,*, A. Agerb, C.F.Vargasa,J.L. Hayesc, G. Zunigaa ABSTRACT Bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus are natural inhabitants of forests; under particular conditions some species of this genus can cause large-scale tree mortality. However, only in recent decades has pri- ority been given to the comprehensive study of these insects in Mexico. Mexico possesses high ecological diversity in Dendroctonus-Pinus associations. The geographic coexistence of 12 Dendroctonus species suggests greater vulnerability or threat of tree mortality relative to other areas. We use a biogeographic strategy to identify and rank the areas most vulnerable to tree mortality caused by bark beetles in Mex- ico. We aim to define the areas that might experience high impact by these insects and also to provide a geographic database useful to forest resource management and conservation policies in Mexico. Using collection records of bark beetles and pines, we develop a quantitative estimate of the threat of beetle infestation of forest areas based on factors including pine and beetle species density, host preference and level of mortality caused by beetle species. A quantitative estimate of forest area vulnerability, the Bark Beetle Threat Index (BBTI) was calculated. Despite the vast area of geographic coincidence of Pinus and Dendroctonus in Mexico, the regions of highest bark beetle pressure are restricted to small zones within some mountain systems. The region that has been most affected by this insect group during the past hundred years is the Transverse Volcanic Belt, followed by the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre del Sur.

  • Winrock International Mexico Biomass Cogeneration
    WINROCK INTERNATIONAL MEXICO BIOMASS COGENERATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST,1993 THROUGH AUGUST,1994 UNITEDSTATES AGENCY FOR ~NTERNATIONALDEVELOPMENT BUREAUFOR LATINAMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN MEXICO BIOMASS COGENERATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (Cooperative Agreement LAG-5737-A-00-3018-00) FIRST ANNUAL REPORT Introduction The Biomass Cogeneration Development Program is a component of the Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean's Environment and Global Climate Change Project (EIGCC). The Program exists through a parallel Cooperative Agreement to the Biomass Energy Systems and Technology (BEST) Cooperative Agreement with Winrock International Institute for Agricultural Development (Winrock). The activities under the Biomass Cogeneration Development Program address Congressional concerns about renewable energy and global climate change. The Biomass Cogeneration Development Program advances E/GCC by supporting pilot demonstration of biomass cogeneration systems and by promoting policy reforms and host-country capabilities. Five constraints to the use of biomass resources in Mexico have been identified, including the following: 1. Sugarcane and forest products companies are not aware of the potential of cogeneration. 2. Awareness of suitable and appropriate technologies is limited. 3. The national utility does not appreciate the full value of waste biomass resources for power generation. 4. the contractual arrangements and incentive structures that would encourage this type of "independent" power generation are not well understood. 5. Potential developers often do not know how to access capital markets to finance power generation projects. The primary objective of the Biomass Cogeneration Development Rogram is to promote innovation in the form of investment in the construction of specific new biomass energy conversion facilities where the technologies involved are both economically attractive and environmentally sound.

  • The Impacts of Forest Trade Liberalisation on Forest Governance in Mexico
    First draft. November 2002 THE IMPACTS OF FOREST TRADE LIBERALISATION ON FOREST GOVERNANCE IN MEXICO Michael Richards, Consultant for FAO/IIED EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In terms of the objectives of this research study, Mexico appears to be an ideal case study. It offers one of the clearest cases of forest trade liberalisation, dating from 1986; before that the forest economy was very protected and subsidised, making it virtually closed to external trade pressures. Also the social and environmental impacts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), implemented in1994, are very well documented (although the governance impacts rather less so). Any analysis of Mexican forestry must also start from an appreciation of its social importance in the form of the dominant community forestry (CF) sector; the somewhat unique „private common property‟ land tenure system; and its proximity, and free trade relationship, with the world‟s two most powerful forest sector trading nations. This case study attempts to assess forest governance impacts of trade liberalisation through causative analysis of changes in a number of key indicators, mainly through discussions with a set of key informants held in October 2002. But the results of the investigation are inconclusive, mainly due to the fact that trade liberalisation impacts are indirect and inter-connected with other strong (or stronger) forest governance drivers. Trade liberalisation impacts are particularly difficult to separate out from the broader liberalisation package and the democratic process. There is also a lack of empirical data on forest sector variables like illegal logging and corruption levels, making it difficult to conduct robust analysis of the trade- governance relationship.

  • Regeneration Patterns in Mexican Pine-Oak Forests Teresa Alfaro Reyna1, Jordi Martínez-Vilalta1,2* and Javier Retana1,2
    Alfaro Reyna et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:50 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0209-8 RESEARCH Open Access Regeneration patterns in Mexican pine-oak forests Teresa Alfaro Reyna1, Jordi Martínez-Vilalta1,2* and Javier Retana1,2 Abstract Background: Global change is causing an increase in the incidence of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on forests, which frequently interact synergistically and promote changes in forest structure, composition and functioning. In this study we evaluate the regeneration of Pinaceae and Fagaceae species in pure and mixed stands in Mexico to determine if current regeneration patterns are indicative of changes in the relative dominance of these two tree families, as observed in other temperate regions. We also identify the environmental factors that determine the regeneration patterns of Pinaceae and Fagaceae species in these forests. Results: We use data from two consecutive surveys of the National Inventory of Forests and Soils of Mexico (INFyS), obtained in 2004–2009 and 2009–2014. Our results show that the spatial patterns of regeneration are affected by forest structure, by climate, by the type and intensity of disturbances and by land tenure. Importantly, the presence and abundance of Fagaceae regeneration is generally higher than that of Pinaceae, and tends to be favoured (relative to Pinaceae) under warmer climates and by the presence of wildfires. Conclusions: The higher regeneration of Fagaceae relative to Pinaceae under warmer and fire-prone conditions could have important impacts on the composition and functioning of Mexican temperate forests under ongoing climate change, as well as affect their resilience to future disturbances.

  • Payments for Ecosystem Services in Mexico Reduce Forest Fragmentation
    Ecological Applications, 28(8), 2018, pp. 1982–1997 © 2018 by the Ecological Society of America Payments for ecosystem services in Mexico reduce forest fragmentation 1 2 3 1,2,4 CARLOS RAMIREZ-REYES , KATHARINE R. E. SIMS, PETER POTAPOV, AND VOLKER C. RADELOFF 1SILVIS Lab, Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology, University of Wisconsin–Madison, 1630 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 USA 2Departments of Economics and Environmental Studies, Amherst College, P.O. Box 5000, Amherst, Massachusetts 01002 USA 3Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742 USA Abstract. Forest fragmentation can lead to habitat reduction, edge increase, and exposure to dis- turbances. A key emerging policy to protect forests is payments for ecosystem services (PES), which offers compensation to landowners for environmental stewardship. Mexico was one of the first coun- tries to implement a broad-scale PES program, enrolling over 2.3 Mha by 2010. However, Mexico’s PES did not completely eliminate deforestation in enrolled parcels and could have increased incentives to hide deforestation in ways that increased fragmentation. We studied whether Mexican forests enrolled in the PES program had less forest fragmentation than those not enrolled, and whether the PES effects varied among forest types, among socioeconomic zones, or compared to the protected areas system. We analyzed forest cover maps from 2000 to 2012 to calculate forest fragmentation. We summarized fragmentation for different forest types and in four socioeconomic zones. We then used matching analysis to investigate the possible causal impacts of the PES on forests across Mexico and compared the effects of the PES program with that of protected areas.

We apply the before-after-control-intervention approach and quasi-experimental methods to evaluate the effectiveness of REDD+ interventions in reducing deforestation at municipal (meso) and community (micro) scales. Difference-in-differences regression and propensity score matching did not show an overall reduction in forest cover loss from REDD+ projects at both scales. However, Synthetic Control Method (SCM) analyses demonstrated mixed REDD+ effectiveness among intervened municipalities and communities. Funding agencies and number of REDD+ projects intervening in a municipality or community did not appear to affect REDD+ outcomes. However, cattle production and commercial agriculture land uses tended to impede REDD+ effectiveness. Cases of communities with important forestry enterprises exemplified reduced forest cover loss but not when cattle production was present. Communities and municipalities with negative REDD+ outcomes were notable along the southern region bordering Guatemala and Belize, a remote forest frontier fraught with illegal activities and socio-environmental conflicts.
