Sitios prioritarios para la conservación de la riqueza florística y el endemismo de la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, México

Abstract: Antecedentes y Objetivos: Una de las principales estrategias para la protección de la diversidad biológica es el establecimiento de sistemas de áreas para su conservación, cuyo manejo minimice los riesgos de extinción. Actualmente, en México las áreas protegidas cubren aproximadamente 12% de la superficie del país. No obstante, es necesario incrementar los esfuerzos de conservación de la diversidad vegetal, especialmente en las altitudes medias de las zonas montañosas del país. Oaxaca es uno de los estados con… Show more

“…Los palmares y pastizales presentaron cuatro especies endémicas que se comparten con el BCE y dos especies se registraron además en otros tipos de vegetación. Según la SEMAR-NAT ( 2006), las actividades agropecuarias causan cambio de uso de suelo y modifican sustancialmente la vegetación del país, sin embargo, las áreas de vegetación secundaria juegan también un papel importante en la conservación de especies (e.g., Suárez-Mota et al 2018) Como se ha mencionado, la SMS es la provincia biogeográfica más compleja de México, tanto geológica, fisiográfica y florísticamente. La heterogeneidad de comunidades vegetales y climas hacen que en ella se distribuya el 10 % del endemismo nacional.…”

“…Torreón concentrates the highest number of taxa with 105 (32.7%), followed by Lerdo with 93 (29.0%) ( Table 4). This may be due, in the first place, to the fact that the mountainous chains with greater extension and higher altitude are located mainly in these municipalities, which is conducive to the development of a large amount of endemism, as has been documented for other mountainous areas of Mexico in which the conditions of humidity and temperature allow the development of temperate vegetation [45][46][47], as well as in the Chihuahuan Desert [41] which shows that the diversity in this area of the country is not distributed homogeneously; and second, that the efforts to carry out floristic inventories in the semiarid zones of Coahuila have been greater; however, in the part corresponding to Durango, several inventories are in the process of being elaborated that will undoubtedly increase the knowledge of the flora. For Comarca Lagunera, 175 taxa are recognized as scarcely distributed, that is, their representation is restricted to a single municipality, this corresponds to more than 54%, while only five taxa (1.6%) are registered in seven municipalities or more of the municipalities (Table 5), the above shows what in other studies has been mentioned as the arid and semiarid zones of Mexico have a high proportion of taxa with very restricted distribution [26,48]; that in this case can be attributed possibly to the geological changes that have occurred in the Chihuahuan Desert and that have been apparently stabilized since the Miocene (15 million years) [49], so that it could be about neo-endemic taxa in the process of expansion of their populations.…”

“…Although there are currently no natural protected areas decreed in these areas, despite being sites with high biological diversity and a large number of endemisms, it is a fact that their geographical location and the difficulty of accessing them has kept them safe from human damage. Special mention should be made of the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, an area particularly rich in diversity and endemism of Asteraceae [ 79 ], in which the models indicate that there are also adequate conditions to serve as an Anthropocene refugium, which is confirmed by the fact that it has also been considered as a secondary Pleistocene refugium [ 62 ]. However, unlike the mountainous region of central Oaxaca, the Sierra Norte has sufficient infrastructure to access its territory and forest management of the coniferous forests, although the other ecosystems remain almost intact.…”
