We conducted a demographic examination of Pterocereus gaumeri, a rare and endemic columnar cactus of the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. Growth, survival, and fecundity of individuals were recorded in two populations from 1997 to 1999. Size-based populati

Forest biomass estimates are used to help quantify pools and flux of greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2–C) from the terrestrial biosphere to the atmosphere associated with land-use and land cover changes. Such estimates based on direct measurements are qu

The distribution of the arboreal ant community plus a termite species of the genus Nasutitermes was inventoried on 938 red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle L., trees in a completely flooded mangrove forest of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Quintana Roo

Low-stature tropical dry forests are some of the most threatened ecosystems on a global level. Only recently have studies been conducted to characterize them. Little is known about their recuperation after perturbation. In the state of Yucatan on the

We applied modeled biomass density estimates to changes in land use/land cover (LU/LC) statistics for the intensively impacted and highly fragmented landscape of tropical Mexico to estimate the flux of carbon (C) between terrestrial ecosystems and th

In the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, Aechmea bracteata is more frequent in the low inundated forest than in hummocks or the semi-evergreen forest. Due to its flat smooth, ovoid seeds disseminated by birds, this epiphyte generally develops on rough-barke

Thrinax radiata and Coccothrinax readii, two palm species of the dry tropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico, had been used in earlier times by the Mayans and adult palms are used extensively today. The overexploitation of these species in the Sian K

Among the many diverse habitats in Mexico, wetlands vary with regard to hydrological, geomorphological, and biological factors. Humid tropical to temperate mountain climates over complex geological formations have contributed to the diversity. Estuar

The decomposition rates and mass of fine ( 10-cm-diameter) woody detritus were measured in the dry tropical forests of the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula. The smallest mass of woody detritus was found in undisturbed stands: fine fractions averaged 4.

We studied fifteen species of vascular epiphytes in a 1200 m 2 sample of seasonally inundated forest (tintal) near Cancun, Mexico. The community of epiphytes occupied 14 species of host tree. While certain species of host tree tended to accommodate m
