They also provide benefits, through ecosystem services. In the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, urban parkshave not received enough attention. Traditionally, it was assumed that the trees that comprise it, must be developed without anyintervention of forest management or at most plantations in which very little is intervened with protection and silvicultural work toachieve their establishment and good development. The park of \"La Solidaridad Iberoamericana'' is an ecosystem where treespredominate, it is immersed in a densely populated area and offers facilities for recreation. Hence the importance of this work,which provides lines of action aimed at promoting and managing the park's urban forest. The leading goal of this work was todevelop a comprehensive diagnosis to identify forest management needs. The methodology consisted of making a stand for thepark, establishment of 108 sampling sites of 500 m², survey of dasometric, silvicultural, biodiversity and phytosanitary variablespresent in the trees. The results are: five stands were defined, the main species susceptible to mistletoe were Jacaranda mimosifolia,Bahuinia americana and Casuarina equisetifolia. The main phytosanitary problem is Struthanthus interruptus, a mistletoe speciesthat affects trees, followed to a lesser extent by Psittacanthus calyculatus. The biodiversity and richness of tree species are 20, theybelong to 16 different botanical families, standing out Fabaceae, Bignonaceae, and Salicaceae. The silvicultural management needs detected are pruning and thinning; 18.6% of the trees require pruning to raise the crown, 75.4% require sanitary pruning, 19% of the trees must be felled, since they represent a danger of falling due to rain and strong winds.","PeriodicalId":447849,"journal":{"name":"e-CUCBA","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122632038","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}

For this,satellite images are a practical tool for the evaluation of large areas, or inaccessible areas, impacted by forest fires. In this work, thecorrelation presented by different variables measured in the field and derived from remote sensors, in relation to the naturalregeneration of pine that occurs in the La Primavera forest and in Sierra de Quila, Jalisco, was evaluated.

Until now, four inflammasomes havebeen described that recruit the Apoptosis-associated speck-like (ASC) adapter protein to activate caspase-1: NLRP-1, NLRP-3,NLRC4 and AIM2. The activation of the NLRP-3 inflammasomes are mediated by variations in K⁺ concentrations, increasedextracellular ATP and oxidative stress mainly. Because of this, it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurologicaldisorders such as epilepsy; which is a neurological disorder characterized by the presence of spontaneous and a recurrent seizure(SRS) that affects around 70 million people in the world. SRS are generated by the establishment of the epileptome (defined area ofepileptogenesis) triggered by genetic or acquired factors that cause structural and functional modifications, such asneuroinflammation that induces oxidative stress, neuronal loss, reactive gliosis and pathological synaptic reorganization.Neuroinflammation can be preserved during epileptogenesis due activation of the NLRP-3 inflammasome. On the other hand, awide variety of inhibitors have been used to alter the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18, indirect inhibitors of NLRP-3, ASC and caspase-1; however, these only disturb the signaling pathways without directly regulating NLRP-3 and blocked the pathologicalneuroinflammatory response. For this reason, it is important to study the activation and modulation of inflammasomes like NLRP-3in epileptogenic processes to expand the view on neuroinflammation and its possible mechanisms involved in epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":447849,"journal":{"name":"e-CUCBA","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128862009","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}

Advances in massive sequencing have allowed for the sequencing of a large number of genomes, which has had broadapplications in medicine, the improvement of economically important plant and animal species, and phylogenetic studies, among many others.One of the main branches of genomics is metagenomics, which has been highly important in generating knowledge of the composition anddiversity of microorganisms in environmental samples of water, air, and other materials, facilitating the recognition of new taxa.

The objective of the study was to determine timber stocks, evaluatenatural regeneration and develop mathematical models to estimate wood volume in linaloe trees (Bursera linanoe), in threelocations representative of its natural range in Mexico: San Juan de los Cués, Oaxaca; Chiautla de Tapia, Puebla and Xalitla,Guerrero. In each of the localities, a plot of 25 hectares of tropical deciduous forest was delimited. A field survey was carried outcovering a total sampling area of 33,000 m², through the inspection of 66 circular-shaped sampling sites, each with an area of 500m2, and distributed systematically. In order to generate mathematical models for the estimation of wood volumes, a sample size of80 trees was calculated, which meant an average of 10 trees for each of the categories between 5 cm and 40 cm of diameter atbreast height and a range of heights from 2 m to 8 m. The results showed, respectively, for San Juan de los Cués, Chiautla de Tapiaand Xalitla, the following data: 44, 45 and 36 trees per hectare; 4.1, 1.3 and 1.8 average stems per tree; average basal areas of0.8827 m²·ha-1, 0.9626 m²·ha-¹ and 2.3141 m²·ha-¹; and a square diameter of 16 cm, 17 cm and 30 cm.
