Emerging or alternative crops are those that have been recently introduced in response to new demands and commercial opportunities. The fig has been introduced as an alternative fruit crop in Mexico due to its high nutritional, nutraceutical, and antioxidant capacity. A total of 644 points of presence were downloaded and filtered according to climatic ranges and agricultural areas, leaving 68 records. The MaxEnt algorithm was used to develop the habitat suitability models for current and future climate. The bioclimatic variables of the global circulation models, Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2-EarthSystem (HADGEM2-ES) and Max Planck Institute for Meteorology-Earth System Model Low Resolution (MPI-ESM-LR), were used under scenarios 2.6 and 8.5. The changes in the fig area for Mexico were analyzed based on the generated models. Under the current climate, 359,575.76 km2 were estimated for 2050, and a loss of area for the excellent category was estimated for both models and scenarios; however, for the MPI-ESM-LR model projected to 2070, an increase of 5.51% and 0.39% was estimated for scenarios 2.6 and 8.5, respectively. The effect of climate change on agronomic species such as figs will be expressed in variations in climatic ranges and areas suitable for their development. The results of this study reveal the negative and positive effects of climate change on fig habitat suitability in Mexico. The dynamics of changes in surface area will be reflected mainly in northern and central Mexico.
El quitosano en perlas y pH ácido (Q) tiene la capacidad de adsorber arsénico (As) del agua. El Q podría adsorber el As que se encuentra en la solución del suelo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la capacidad quelatante del Q ajustado a pH ácido y neutro para disminuir concentración de As soluble en dos Fluvisoles. Para llevar a cabo el experimento se acondicionó Q a dos pH (5 y 7) con la adición de ácido sulfúrico y se dejó Q sin tratar para usarlo como testigo. Se ensayaron cuatro tratamientos (suelos sin Q, con Q sin tratar, con Q ajustado a pH 5 y con Q ajustado a pH 7). Cada tratamiento se condujo por cuadruplicado, haciendo un total de 16 unidades experimentales para cada suelo. Cada unidad experimental consistió de 500 g de suelo empaquetado en una bolsa de plástico, a la cual se le añadió un fertilizante fosfatado (200 mg kg‑1) y se llevó a capacidad de campo, dejándola reposar por 48 h. Al cumplirse el tiempo de reposo, se agregaron a cada bolsa 0.063 g de Q del tratamiento correspondiente y su respectiva réplica, dejándolas en incubación durante 48 h a una temperatura de 25 °C. El diseño experimental empleado fue completamente al azar. A los suelos se les determinó el contenido de As soluble mediante una extracción con agua desionizada y lo extractado se midió por el método de espectrofotometría de absorción atómica con generación de hidruros. Los datos se sometieron a un análisis de varianza y una prueba de medias (Tukey, P ≤ 0.05). Los resultados demostraron que el quitosano ajustado con ácido sulfúrico a pH 5, (QpH5) adsorbió la mayor cantidad de As soluble (640%). Lo que representa una alternativa de recuperación de suelos contaminados con As.
