Partición de la precipitación en un bosque tropical montano de pino-encino en el centro de México

Abstract: SUMMARYPrecipitation partitioning is a key process in the terrestrial phase of the water cycle since it regulates the amount of water available for other processes. Precipitation partitioning in throughfall, stemflow and interception loss was measured on a daily basis in a tropical pine-oak forest at 2,160 m elevation in the Cuitzeo watershed, located in central Mexico for 26 months. The recorded precipitation of 2,882 mm (Aug.28/2010 -Oct.23/2013) included 242 events; 35.5 % of rainfall events were < 5 mm and… Show more

“…In the state of Michoacán, pine‐oak forests potentially covered approximately 1,623,100 ha or 28% of the state's total area (Denvir et al., 2022), hosting a great diversity of flora and fauna and approximately 16 pine and 34 oak species (Leal‐Nares & Villaseñor‐Gómez, 2016). These forests provide fundamental ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and storage, water and air purification, regulation of the hydrological cycle, and a large number of cultural and aesthetic values (Denvir, 2023; Gómez‐Tagle Chavez et al., 2019; Leal‐Nares & Villaseñor‐Gómez, 2016). Nevertheless, despite their high biological and social importance, in the last decades Michoacán's pine‐oak forests have experienced a dramatic transformation to other land uses, most notably avocado cultivation.…”

“…In many cases, there are weather stations in the urban centers, but they are scarce in the forests and protected areas. For this reason, studies are being carried out to empirically find the temporal distribution of precipitation in these areas of Mexico (Gómez‐Tagle Ch et al, 2015). Unfortunately, the little information available about the intensity and duration of storms before, during, and after hurricanes made it difficult to characterize this kind of extreme event (Pielke & Landsea, 1998).…”
