Altitud del límite superior de bosque en el Eje Neovolcánico Mexicano, un referente climático de la alta montaña en México

Abstract: Se identificó el límite superior de bosque continuo y discontinuo en las montañas superiores a 4000 metros sobre el nivel del mar en México. El estudio se basó en el índice de vegetación de diferencia normalizada y mediante el análisis de componentes principales. Para el primer caso, se encontró que en cada vertiente el límite de bosque alcanza una altitud distinta; sin embargo, en promedio el bosque continuo culmina a 4019 y el discontinuo a 4072 msnm. Por su parte, el análisis estadístico permitió determinar… Show more

“…These temperature conditions, together with the incidence of anabatic winds from the Gulf of Mexico and its humidity, favor the recurrence of snowfalls on its surface (Reyes-Coca, 2002). Due to its climate and the associated periglacial geomorphology, Soto et al (2021) determined the altitude of the timberline at 4,047 m asl, while the tree line was located at 4,117 m asl. Above this altitude, the vegetation is made up of bushes that reach an altitude of ~ 4,600 m asl (Soto and Delgado-Granados, 2020a).…”

“…Mexico is a mountainous country with 31 summits exceeding 3,000 m asl (INEGI, 2017) and among them, 10 exceed ~4,000 m asl, the upper limit of the forest (Soto et al 2021). The combination of factors such as latitude, altitude and continentality (Farbrot et al 2011;Hasler et al 2015) cause the presence of recurrent winter snowfall events in most of these mountain areas.…”

“…The mesophilic forest area is located between 800 and up to ~2000 masl. Above this limit, the coniferous forest region begins, reaching its upper limit at ~4000 masl (Soto‐Molina et al ., 2021). Beyond ~4000 masl, only isolated bushes are to be found, and from ~4300 masl upwards, a region devoid of vegetation begins (Soto‐Molina & Delgado‐Granados, 2020).…”
