“…Toda vez que estos espacios proporcionan a las ciudades y a sus habitantes servicios ambientales como regulación del clima, control de la erosión, recreación, turismo, polinización, estética, hábitat para fauna silvestre, captura de carbono, conservación de la biodiversidad, entre otros (Mora-Olivo y Martínez, 2012;Gómez-Baggethun et al, 2013). Por ello resulta relevante el conocimiento de las mismas en lo referente a su estructura, composición y diversidad para fortalecer la planificación y la gestión de los ámbitos verdes urbanos para las presentes y futuras generaciones (Flores-Xolocotzi y González-Guillén, 2010).…”

En el presente estudio se hizo una caracterización de la estructura y diversidad del arbolado urbano de la ciudad de Montemorelos, Nuevo León, al noreste de México. Se censaron los árboles de todos los camellones y parques urbanos y se les midió la altura total (h), el diámetro normal (d1.30 m) y el diámetro de copa (k). Se calculó su abundancia (Ar), dominancia (Dr) y frecuencia (Fr), así como el Índice de Valor de Importancia (IVI) de las especies arbóreas presentes; se evaluó su diversidad con los índices de Margalef (DMg), Shannon (H’), Diversidad Real (1D) y el área verde por habitante. Se registraron un total 918 árboles de 13 especies, pertenecientes a 11 géneros, de las cuales siete son introducidas. El área verde por habitante fue de 0.87. Fraxinus americana fue el taxón con mayor IVI (53.82 %.), seguido de Quercus virginiana (21.37 %). El arbolado urbano reúne una mayor proporción de organismos de porte alto (entre 4 y 6 m), y un diámetro normal de tamaño medio (entre 20 y 30 cm); asimismo la comunidad registró un índice de Margalef (DMg) de 1.9, una diversidad de Shannon (H’) de 1.17 y un Índice de Diversidad Real de 3.22. El área verde urbana por habitante es inferior a lo recomendado en estudios previos, y presenta una baja diversidad, con respecto a otras de este tipo en distintas localidades.

“…Representative samplings of Mexico City's urban forest have been conducted since the decade of the 1990s (Chacalo, Aldama, & Grabinsky, 1994;Meza, 1992), however, the majority of studies have been centered on green public spaces and vegetation cover in relation to distribution, ecological and socio-demographic characteristics, management and planning (Checa-Artasu, 2016;Flores Xolocotz & González-Guillén, 2012;Flores Xolocotzi, González-Guillén, & de los Santos-Posadas, 2010;Meza Aguilar, 2015;Robles, 2014). The urban forests of Mexico City has been studied with a wide variety of approaches and methodological tools but inventories of Mexico City's trees are scant relative to modern analysis technics using remote sensing tools and images collected via satellites.…”

Aiming to maintain or increase the indispensable socio-ecological benefits provided by urban forests, cities of the world have adequate urban forestry to take advantage of new technologies and governmental arrangements. Cooperation among different actors has become a trend to address urban forests' most pressing management issues, such as reforestation monitoring and the creation of tree inventories. This management approach has been conceptualized as adaptive comanagement (ACM) in European and North American cities. Intending to advance the academic efforts to understand ACM, this article presents a spatial and statistical analysis of the distribution of trees monitored in Mexico City. The analysis indicated that the number of urban trees monitored is very low and inequitably distributed in the city; poor areas of the city are not only underserved of green public spaces and trees but have also been neglected in terms of monitoring reforestation programs. The implementation of ACM for environmental management of the urban forest, using the participatory tool of Naturalista, developed by (in Spanish, Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad, CONABIO). The tool demonstrated to have much potential in the operationalization of inclusive reforestation programs, particularly in monitoring urban trees recently planted. The implementation of ACM and citizens' science programs are discussed and recommended as a promising urban environmental management approach.

“…The benefits of successful governance for UGI mentioned in the research found included environmental education (Ferrer et al, 2010;Barroso and Mesquita, 2014;Costa Cardoso et al, 2015;Benchimol et al, 2017;Pabello and Nasupcialy, 2019), recreational opportunities and tourism (Sanchotene, 1994;García and Guerrero, 2006;Guerrero and Culós, 2007;Flores-Xolocotzi and González-Guillén, 2010), investment (Flores-Xolocotzi, 2012;Babilonia et al, 2018), easing the transition of the urban-rural interface (Gurovich Weisman, 2003), and environmental benefits such as climate change adaptation and reduced flood risks (Granados-Olivas et al, 2016;Millington, 2018;Flores et al, 2019;Giner et al, 2019). Nail and Erazo (2018) made the case for state-initiated self-governance initiatives for post-conflict peace building, a link between UGI and social capital that was also made by Ferrer et al (2010), Costa Cardoso et al (2015), Sánchez (2019), and Visoni and Nagib (2019, p. 88).…”

“…With reference to the relation between geographical spread to the temporal trends shown in Figure 4, the few publications on UGI management before 2003 were from, and centered on, Brazil. Although being the sole focus of almost 20% of the research, the first study on Mexico within the articles found was a comparative study of Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Spain, and the US in 2010 (Flores-Xolocotzi and González-Guillén, 2010). The first studies to focus on Mexico alone were not published until 2015, showing a recent rise in academic interest in UGI management in the country.…”

The concept of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) has emerged in response to the need to highlight and ensure access to the multifunctional benefits of green spaces in changing cityscapes. Recent literature reviews around UGI have focused on environmental benefits and services, and the management of these spaces has been comparatively neglected. In addition to this, the core conceptual and practical research around UGI management has been produced in the Global North, and far less research has been generated in Latin America, despite the contextual challenges and opportunities brought by this rapidly urbanizing and diverse region. In response, this trilingual systematic review asks: What are the research trends in terms of topics and case studies that characterize UGI management research in Latin America? Which management types are the focuses of this research? A total of 47 publications, found through Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO, were subjected to both quantitative and qualitative assessment. The research was both geographically concentrated and predominantly recent. Government-led initiatives made up the highest proportion of the research, and more than half of the publications described local government as the principle actor in the management of the UGI studied. Community-run initiatives were consistent across the temporal span of the articles found, and their established presence was supported by the qualitative review. Findings also revealed a directional push toward governance practices but significant obstacles in the form of weak local government, divisions driven by a lack of context-sensitive approaches to informal settlements and socioeconomic segregation, and a management discourse that jarred with urban practices by indigenous communities. Through demonstrating the contribution of existing literature on UGI management in Latin America, this review highlights the need for further published research on the region.
