ResumenLos estudios florísticos permiten obtener información para conocer con detalle los elementos vegetales de una región, por lo que los objetivos de este trabajo fueron realizar un estudio florístico en el cerro Metecatl, Estado de México; describir los tipos de vegetación y caracterizar los micrositios mediante el recuento de especies en 18 Unidades de Muestreo; así como analizar la influencia de la altitud, orientación e inclinación sobre la composición florística en el sitio mediante análisis multivariable. Se registraron 73 familias, 211 géneros y 274 especies. Se adicionan 62 especies al listado de Tetzcutzingo. Se registraron 201 especies nativas y siete endémicas para el Valle de México. La riqueza de especies es menor en Metecatl con respecto a Tetzcutzingo, lo cual se relaciona con actividades agrícolas y con factores ambientales (humedad, pendiente, orientación y altitud). Se reconocen tres tipos de vegetación: bosque de PinusQuercus, matorral de Eysenhardtia polystachya y pastizal. El análisis de agrupamiento diferenció en dos grupos a las Unidades de Muestreo, de acuerdo con la semejanza de las especies compartidas. El análisis de correspondencia canónica indicó diferencias florísticas entre los sitios de la ladera Norte-Noreste con respecto a la ladera Sur-Suroeste. Los resultados confirman la gran riqueza florística y de micrositios, que juntos Metecatl y Tetzcutzingo mantienen, a modo de reservorio ecológico, lo cual adquiere relevancia ante la evidente pérdida de biodiversidad en el municipio de Texcoco. Palabras clave: análisis florístico, endemismo, micrositios, riqueza florística, variables ambientales. Floristic study of the Cerro Metecatl, of mountain complex Tetzcutzingo, Texcoco, state of México, Mexico AbstractFloristic studies provide information for detailed plant items in a region. It was performed a floristic study in the cerro Metecatl, Estado de México; were described vegetation types and characterized microsites by counting species in 18 sampling units; we analyzed the influence of altitude, orientation and inclination on the floristic composition at the site through multivariate analysis. There were 73 families, 211 genera and 274 species. 62 species are added to the list of Tetzcutzingo. We registered 201 native species and seven endemics for the Valley of Mexico. Species richness is lower in Metecatl regarding Tetzcutzingo, which is related to agricultural activities and environmental factors (humidity, slope, aspect and altitude). We recognized three types of vegetation: Pinus-Quercus forest, scrub Eysenhardtia polystachya and grassland. The cluster analysis differentiated into two groups the Sampling Units, according to the similarity of shared species. The canonical correspondence analysis indicate floristic differences among sites located in the slope north-northeast with respect to the south-southwest side. These results confirm the great floristic richness and of microsites, that together Metecatl and Tetzcutzingo maintain, as an ecological reserve, what becomes releva...
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.
