“…Si bien, en lo general el número de especies tiende a incrementarse conforme el tamaño del área aumenta (Whittaker et al 2001), en el BMM actúan otros factores adicionales como la productividad, la disponibilidad de energía (clima) y el grado de la heterogeneidad ambiental (incluido el impacto antrópico), por lo que sólo así se puede explicar que el estado de Hidalgo, con el cuarto lugar de superficie con BMM a nivel nacional, ocupe el tercer lugar en riqueza de especies de licofitas y helechos (IB: 24.96) en México, sólo después de Oaxaca y Veracruz (García-Franco et al 2008, Anta-Fonseca et al 2010, Challenger et al 2010, Pérez-Ferrera & Gómez-Dominguez 2010, Álvarez-Zúñiga et al 2012.…”

Background. The Cloud Forest (CF) of Mexico has high richness of lycophytes and ferns. However, there are large areas without floristic inventories in this ecosystem, which is currently severely affected by human activities and global warming.Questions. What is the composition and richness of lycophytes and ferns species of the BMM of Hidalgo? Is the taxonomic diversity of lycophytes and ferns of the BMM of Hidalgo different from that of other entities of the country with the same type of vegetation?Study site and research period. The study was carried out in 19 municipalities of Hidalgo, where the CF is distributed, between 2015 and 2018.Methods. The field work was carried out in 14 municipalities and the bibliographic information comes from five previous studies. The determination was at the species level and diversity was estimated per unit area.Results. There are 279 species, 91 genera and 29 families of pteridophytes in Hidalgo; 10 species represented new records at the state level. The preferred growth substrate was terrestrial, followed by epiphyte and rupicolous; eight species are considered in some risk category in NOM-059-2010.Conclusions. The Hidalgo CF occupies the third national place in number of species of pteridophytes, only surpassed by Oaxaca and Veracruz. The most common families and genera have wide distribution in Mexico. The low density and restricted distribution of some species, due to high degree of disturbance, indicate that it is necessary to establish management and conservation programs.

Además, la presencia y abundancia de árboles de gran talla dentro y fuera de las subparcelas, como Q. oocarpa, Q. martinezii, J. major, Carpinus tropicalis, entre otras, cuyos diámetros superan 1.20 m y las alturas oscilan por arriba de los 30 m, hace suponer que el BHM de la sierra de Cacoma presenta buen estado de conservación, lo cual es atribuido a la relativa lejanía de la parcela de asentamientos humanos, a la estricta protección del área de estudio, así como a la topografía accidentada donde fue establecida la parcela permanente (Morales-Arias y Rodríguez-Hernández, 2012).…”

The reserve spans across 107 ha, 45 of which correspond to relatively well‐preserved cloud forest, and the rest is covered by forest patches under various successional states and pasture areas (De la Rosa and Negrete‐Yankelevich ).…”

In the tropics, corticolous lichen richness and cover tend to increase from the trunk base to the top of the crown of trees. In this study we calculated the total beta diversity of the lichen community along a vertical gradient on Quercus laurina in Mexican cloud forest. By comparing the richness and cover of the lichens by zone, we show that foliose and fruticose lichens are a minor component of the total lichen species richness, but have a higher cover than the crustose lichens. Five zones were identified along each phorophyte (n = 15) with a diameter at breast height >40 cm. A total of 92 species were identified. Of these, 38% were found only in a single zone, 51% were shared between the different zones and 11% occurred across all zones. Species richness and cover increased from the lowest to the highest zones of the phorophytes. Dissimilarity in species composition between the zones could be explained by species replacement. An indicator species analysis revealed that only a few species, e.g. Hypotrachyna vexans, H. cf. sublaevigata and Ramalina cf. sinaloensis prefer a particular zone. The results show that the lichen community associated with Quercus laurina phorophytes is highly diverse and suggest that species richness and cover are related to the zone and the various growth forms.
