Análisis estructural de un bosque mesófilo de montaña en el extremo oriental de la Sierra Madre del Sur (Oaxaca), México

Abstract: ECOLOGÍA as comunidades vegetales que se desarrollan bajo la influencia de niebla frecuente en las montañas del trópico húmedo, agrupadas bajo el término general "bosques tropicales montanos de niebla" (Hamilton et al.ción entre las comunidades tropicales de tierras bajas, más termófilas, y las comunidades propias de ambientes templados localizadas a mayor altitud (Beard, 1955;Whitmore, 1975;Richards, 1996). Esta transición depende de la interacción de los factores históricos, climáticos, edá-Resumen: Se anali… Show more

“…However, it is very likely that ecoregions containing smaller areas of cloud forest are at a higher level of priority due to the small area of fragments they contain. The cloud forest fragments with the smallest area are mostly located on the Pacific slope and in areas where atmospheric humidity is lower on average than in the rest of the country's cloud forests [6] . This climatic variant represents another distinct set of cloud forest type that should be prioritized for conservation, as it surely represents rare and unique communities in terms of the composition and structure of the species that comprise them.…”

“…This ecosystem is generally called "montane mesophyll forest" (MMF) in reference to the mesophilic characteristics of the leaves of the dominant tree species and the physiographic zone in which it is found [4,5] . Under this name we find a heterogeneous set of ecological communities, as they constitute a complex transition between lowland communities and those that develop at higher altitudes [6,7] . The heterogeneity of this set of communities is reflected in the variety of names by which they have been referred to in the literature, such as deciduous temperate forest [8] , cloud forest [9] , montane rain forest [10] , fog forest [11] , and montane mesophyll forest [4,12,13] , to mention a few.…”

“…Además, varios autores han tratado de distinguir límites discretos (Grubb 1977, Hemp 2010, Martin et al 2011, Bach & Gradstein 2011, aunque otros argumentan que los cambios estructurales y en composición de especies ocurren continuamente a través del gradiente (Lieberman et al 1996). En contraste, en México no se ha aceptado el enfoque de separar el BMM en fajas altitudinales distintas, aunque en algunos estudios se han reconocido subtipos de BMM y distintas especies dominantes (Alcántara et al 2002, Mejía-Domínguez et al 2004, Williams-Linera et al 2013. Un ejemplo de los distintos ensambles, componentes dominantes y subtipos de BMM son las ecotonías en su límite superior de distribución altitudinal que forman con los bosques de Abies (abeto, oyamel o pinabete).…”

“…No siempre se pueden determinar con exactitud las perturbaciones, porque el desarrollo de las comunidades depende de muchos factores interactuantes que promueven cambios abruptos en la estructura, composición y dinámica de la vegetación (Chazdon, Redondo-Brenes, & Vilchez-Alvarado, 2005), llegando a ser negativos, incluso a escalas espaciales relativamente pequeñas (Homeier, Breckle, Günter, Rollenbeck, & Leuschner, 2010;López & Duque, 2010). El estudio de la estructura del BMM se ha limitado principalmente a trabajos realizados en un tiempo específico (Meave, Soto, Calvo-Irabién, Paz-Hernández, & Valencia Ávalos, 1992;Santiago-Pérez & Jardel-Peláez, 1993;Ruiz-Jiménez, Meave, & Contreras, 2000;Mejía-Domínguez, Meave, & Ruiz-Jiménez, 2004). En los trópicos, la dinámica estructural de bosques, que incluyen diferentes tipos de ensambles, han sido estudiados a través de parcelas permanentes, incluyendo la búsqueda de los factores ambientales y bióticos que influencian los procesos de cambio (Eggeling, 1947;Lugo & Brown, 1981;Lieberman, Lieberman, Hartshorn, & Peralta, 1985;Veillon, 1985;Condit et al, 2005).…”
