“…Some authors have reported that early successional species are more susceptible to stem breakage than late successional species (Zimmermann et al, 1994;Ross et al, 2001). In general, tree damage occurs in taller trees as they could be more vulnerable to mechanical damage (Jiménez-Rodríguez et al, 2018), thus larger trees suffered more uprooting and snapping than small ones (Bonilla-Moheno, 2012;García and Siliceo-Cantero, 2019).…”

As a major disturbance, hurricanes affect growth and phenology of trees. Tree diameters were annually measured for three years, and the phenology of 16 tree species monthly recorded in a seasonally dry tropical forest in Veracruz, Mexico, when on September 2010, Hurricane Karl struck the region. One month later, tree damage was recorded and phenological observations resumed for 12 more months, and diameter measurement for two more years. Tree damage due to the hurricane was high: 10 % were uprooted, 7 % broken and 2 % bent. All trees uprooted died, but some broken or bent trunk trees resprouted (15 % of tagged trees died). Overall, mean diameter growth of trees that survive the hurricane (0.79 cm yr-1) was greater than pre-hurricane growth rate (0.68 cm yr-1). For all the studied species together, leaf fall, leafing, and flowering phenology did not differ between pre- and post-hurricane whereas fruiting was lower for the post-hurricane year. At species level, most species displayed differences in reproductive phenology between pre-hurricane and post-hurricane years. Most species did not flower, lower flowering and fruiting (Calyptranthes schiedeana), or did not fruit (Luehea candida, Maclura tinctoria, Tabebuia chrysantha) the year following the hurricane. In conclusion, due to hurricane damage, tree mortality was high but many trees recovered from damage, and that the hurricane negatively influenced intensity in reproductive phenology, and in turn may alter forest structure, shift species composition, and affect the trophic relationships and functioning of the whole forest community.

Context Continental islands are important conservation targets because of their ecological singularities. In the Mexican Pacific, the Chamela Bay Islands Sanctuary in the state of Jalisco is little or not studied at all in terms of biodiversity. Aims The aim of this study is to contribute to the management plan of the sanctuary by presenting a detailed analysis of native vegetation surveys of three islands of the sanctuary. Methods We used quadrats and treks to record and compare plant diversity, species richness, and structure of woody and cacti vegetation of the islands of Cocinas, La Pajarera, and San Agustín. Key results There are 42 woody and seven cacti species on the three islands (Cocinas 28, La Pajarera 17, San Agustín 30), which represent 9% and 42% of the woody and cacti species recorded regionally, respectively. The islands harbour 20 endemic Mexican species (regionally, 8.6% of woody and 30% of cacti species) and four species in some threatened category (regionally, 0.4%). Plant species richness and vegetation structure differ among the three islands, which shared only seven species. Conclusions The richness and abundance of woody and cacti species on the three islands (total area: 55.5 ha) that include Mexican endemic and threatened species emphasise the importance of protecting the whole islands. Implications The islands need a more active vigilance to avoid induced fires and vegetation removal. Our results point out these factors as the major threats for the islands’ conservation.
