Estructura y diversidad del matorral xerófilo en el noreste de México

Abstract

The structure and diversity of woody species in a plant community with livestock history was evaluated, which was excluded a ten years in the RENAC Conservation and Research Area, municipality of Linares in the Northeast of Mexico. A total of 10 randomly distributed sampling plot from 100 m 2 (10 x 10 m) were established. At the plots, arboreal and shrubby individuals with a basal diameter (d0.10) equal to or greater than 3 cm, corresponding to the original remaining vegetation were considered. To evaluate the regeneration (d0.10 < 3 cm) sites of 1 m 2 (1 x 1 m) were established in each corner and the center of the site of 100 m 2 . The total height (h), basal diameter (d0.10) and cup cover (N-S, E-O) were measured. The ecological Reyna-González, Á. M.; P.S. Soto-Borrego, E. Alanís-Rodríguez, V. M. Molina-Guerra y A.
