Los bosques tropicales estacionalmente secos son reconocidos por su importancia biológica y económica al poseer un alto número de especies endémicas y proveer diversos servicios ecosistémicos. No obstante, la carencia de una planificación para la conservación de la biodiversidad amenaza la gestión ambiental integral en las áreas protegidas de la provincia de Santa Elena, Ecuador. Por ello, se realizó un diagnóstico en el que se identificaron los objetos de conservación para fortalecer la capacidad de manejo ambiental local. Asimismo, se emplearon las metodologías de Planificación para la Conservación de Áreas (PCA) y Fortalezas, Oportunidades, Debilidades y Amenazas (FODA) para conocer las prioridades de conservación y las limitaciones en el manejo de los recursos. En el diagnóstico se evidenciaron falencias técnico-administrativas, debido a ello se buscó un enfoque eficiente en la gestión ambiental. Además, se destacaron el bosque de garúa como objeto natural y el cabildo como objeto cultural para conservar. La gobernanza ambiental participativa debe ser fortalecida para mejorar la gestión de las áreas protegidas.
The soil, nutrient and water conservation is the main problem faced by farmers and investigators under the corn crop-based systems in Central America and Mexico. Several farmers from Honduras have come up with an efficient technology for the corn planted on hills, in which the bean manure is planted in rotation with corn during the dry season. The results from the conducted survey, at the Departamento de Atlantida in Honduras, indicate that 66 % of the farmers grow most of the corn through the protective mat produced by the beans during the rainy season. Among the advantages of this rotation, compared to the traditional burned and cleared land, are the higher yields with les ser dependency of external imputs, shorter rest periods, lower land preparation costs, less soil erosion and lower risk of drought damages. The problems linked to the diffusion ofthe system include the risk ofland slides and a higher plague's incidence (rats) on the corn planted through the manure mat. Usually, the amount of land available in the regionalland markets is the determining factor on the diffusion of this system, and not the size of the farm nor the form of land tenancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
