“…The very thick organic layers, especially in Boquilla swamp, Boquilla sedge marsh and Cienaga swamp sites, would store a large amount of water. Noguchi et al (1997) mention that storage of rain water into the soil contributed to decreasing stormflow production.…”

The ability of marshes and forested wetlands to provide environmental services (water retention in soil and carbon storage) was evaluated at three locations along the coast of Veracruz, Mexico. Hydro-periods were obtained for the different vegetation communities of marshes and forested wetlands. Total organic carbon contents were 26.2% in Pachira swamp, 23.1% in Ficus swamp and 11.2% in marsh soils. The largest values of hydraulically active pore space were observed for marshes (0.79 cm 3 cm -3 ), and the lowest in forested wetlands (0.57 cm 3 cm -3 ). Soil water holding capacity ranged from 556 to 834 L m -2 for swamp areas and from 687 to 880 L m -2 for marshes. The thickness of soil organic layers in the wetland studied had a major control on soil water storage. This suggests that a vast amount of rain water could be retained in the soil. The results indicate that both swamps and marshes play important roles in their capacities to retain water and sequester carbon, although there were no significant differences among them.Key words environmental services; freshwater wetlands; Ficus; hydro-periods; organic soils; Pachira aquatica; swamp; water storage capacity; Mexico Rétention de l'eau des sols et pools de carbone dans les régions tropicales humides boisées et les marais du Golfe du MexiqueRésumé La capacité des marais et zones humides boisées à fournir des services environnementaux (rétention d'eau dans le sol et stockage du carbone) a été évaluée pour trois sites de la côte de Veracruz, au Mexique. Des hydro-périodes ont été obtenues pour les différentes communautés végétales des marais et des zones humides boisées. Les teneurs en carbone organique total ont été de 26,2% dans le marais Pachira and Ficus are swamps, thus forested wetlands. I believe they are in french "humid boisées" Pachira, 23, 1% dans les marais Ficus et 11.2% dans les sols de marais. Les plus grandes valeurs de l'espace poreux hydrauliquement actif ont été observées pour les marais (0.79 cm 3 cm -3 ), et les plus faibles dans les zones humides boisées (0.57 cm 3 cm -3 ). La capacité de rétention en eau du sol varie de 556 à 834 L m -2 pour les zones marécageuses et de 687 à 880 L m -2 pour les marais. L'épaisseur des couches de sol organique dans les zones humides étudiées exerçe un contrôle majeur sur le stockage en eau du sol. Ceci suggère qu'une grande quantité d'eau de pluie pourrait être retenue dans le sol. Les résultats indiquent que les marécages et les marais jouent un rôle important dans leur capacité à retenir l'eau et à piéger le carbone, bien qu'il n'y ait aucune différence significative parmi eux.

“…The influence of the rains on the forest distribution in the Dominican Republic is similar to that of south and southwest China [1]; these forests have a similar diversity and structure to those in the north of the island of Okinawa (Japan) [2] and their distribution is conditioned by climate models and human intervention. Deforestation at the hands of the local population, essentially in arid and semiarid zones, has led to the deterioration of these forests in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, similar to the situation in Ethiopia [3].…”

Aims: This, in conjunction with the diversity of the substrates and the fact that the island is home to the highest mountains in the Caribbean and with a high rate of endemic species, allows them to be differentiated into three major groups -dry forest, cloud forest and the transition between dry and cloud forests. The forests in the Dominican Republic grow in a tropical climate with ombrotypes ranging from arid to humid-hyperhumid due to the moisture-laden Atlantic winds; and infra-, thermo-, meso-and supratropical thermotypes. Establish the diversity, ecology and forest types in Dominican Republic. Methods:We identified all species through field surveys and comparative analyzes of how forest types, structure, diversity and ecology. Cano-Ortiz et al.; BJAST, 9(3): xxx-xxx, 2015; Article no.BJAST.2015.263 232 Results: We consided these forests to be endemic to the island of Hispaniola, as the dry forest presents 81 endemic species, of which 10 are trees, 65 shrubs, 5 creepers, and 1 herbaceous species; while the cloud forest has 19 trees, 20 shrubs, 8 creepers, 4 epiphytes and 6 herbaceous species. Conclusions: We highlight the absence of endemic epiphytes in the dry forests, which are in a poor state of conservation and subject to greater human pressure than the cloud forest.

A study was conducted on the impact of forest clearance on discharge from newly established Hopea odorata plantations catchment (14.4 ha). The stands were two years old when this study commenced in year 2006 and the data collection was carried out for two years. The forested catchment (C3) was clear-cut during the preparation of the forest plantation and catchment C1 was left undisturbed. Discharge and rainfall were measured continuously for two years. The discharge measured from years 1997 to 2003 was used also to determine the water yield before and after forest clear-cut. This study showed that the plantation catchment is more responsive to storm with higher total water yield than in the forested catchment. The effect of forest clear cutting to discharge was clearly shown by the increment in the amount following the clear-cut activities and time taken for the recovery of the discharge back to its original state was almost three years. The peak discharge in C3 also was affected in which the biggest change was obtained during the forest clear-cutting period compared with during calibration and after clearing periods. This study is useful as basis for improving the existing guidelines on forest plantation establishment.
