Which treatments consisted of the natural pollination that only perforated bagging was placed, The variables were: peduncle diameter, brush or strawberry diameter, percentage of yield, percentage of fruit fall, dynamics or general kinetics of growth variables and general behavior of loss and fruit fall. Percentage yield as it was low from 6 to 21% and this decreased as the evaluation time elapsed due to the fall in fruit. The fall of the fruit of the three treatments was considered to have a very important factor whereby they fell, the lack of coverage with fungicides or insecticides.","PeriodicalId":200063,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Enviromental Sciences and Natural Resources","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115939857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nanoparticles prepared by this method were characterized by the golden yellow color characteristic of silver nanoparticle solutions. Measurements with UV-Vis spectroscopy of aqueous solutions of Ag1 + ions after coming into contact with plant extracts of Dandelion at different pHs showed an intense absorption band around 400-450 nm, characteristic of the resonance of the Plasmon of silver nanoparticles. Through the scanning of the samples by means of AFM (atomic force microscopy), morphological information of the nanoparticles is obtained, from 3D topographic images of them, such as distribution, size and shape of the silver nanoparticles. Finally, its antibacterial activity was tested against the Escherichia coli strain.","PeriodicalId":200063,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Enviromental Sciences and Natural Resources","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127283039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five permanent forestry research sites 50 x 50 (2.500 m2) were established, and a census of all tree species was carried out, with normal diameter greater than 7.5 cm. Each individual was measured: height and normal diameter, placing an aluminum plate for identification. We obtained the importance value index (IVI), indices of diversity, richness, and dasometric parameters. There were 17 species, 9 genera and 9 botanical families; the Fagaceae was dominant. Pinus douglasiana presented the highest IVI (57.93%); The Shannon index had a value of 2.0; the index of Margalef was 2.4; the forest has a density of 688 trees ha-1, being the most abundant Styrax ramirezii; Pinus herrerae obtained the highest values in basal area and volume with 30.77 m2 ha-1 and 357,325 m3 ha-1 respectively.

The best represented families are Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Pteridaceae. According to the Chao 2 estimator, the sampling effort in the study area was 87%. Floristic affinity in Cerro del Veinte was greater with the Hoya de Rincón de Parangueo (38%) and Sierra de Pénjamo (32%).

This paper shows the results of variability analysis and the detection of climate change signs in the state of Jalisco, performed in a high-resolution database developed for the maximum, minimum and average temperature according to the quality control procedures of climatic records. From these two sets, the spatial behavior of annual average temperature estimated for three climatic periods was analyzed. Among the results obtained with stations which have complied with quality control, the presence of annual average temperature increases at 0.31°C in 1971-2000, 0.61°C in 1981-2010 and a very intense increase, 0.81°C for the period 1991-2010.
