“…En el ámbito mundial existe una preocupación creciente por la sobreexplotación de los recursos forestales no maderables y la posible disminución de la superficie que ocupan sus poblaciones naturales. En el caso particular de E. antisyphilitica, el área principal de distribución es el Desierto Chihuahuense (Martínez-Ballesté & Mandujano, 2013).…”

“…These conditions limit the development and permanence of natural populations; therefore, the poor growth of E. antisyphilitica plants may be the expression of stress. In this respect, Martínez-Ballesté and Mandujano (2013) indicate that the growth rate of Candelilla is higher during the rainy summer; while large variation in daily temperatures and drought in winter months may cause a decrease in stem production during springtime.…”

“…Worldwide, there is growing concern about the overexploitation of non-timber forest resources and the possible decrease in the area occupied by natural populations. In the particular case of E. antisyphilitica, the main area of distribution is the Chihuahuan Desert (Martínez-Ballesté & Mandujano, 2013). Its presence is subject to strong pressures, both from harvesting and land-use change and the effect of climate change.…”

El conocimiento de la distribución de las especies en relación con las condiciones bióticas y abióticas permite conocer las posibles respuestas de las especies a los cambios, ubicar la presencia geográfica de especies de importancia comercial. Los objetivos fueron Identificar las variables bioclimáticas que determinan la distribución de poblaciones de E. antisyphilitica y estimar la distribución potencial de la especie en las zonas áridas usando dos métodos Maxent y Bioclim. Los datos de presencia fueron del inventario nacional de E. antisyphilitica y se usaron 19 capas climáticas de Worldclim con una resolución espacial de l km2 . Se procesaron con el método de máxima entropía además los requerimientos de temperatura y precipitación se analizaron con la comparación de variables bioclimáticas, la predicción de la modelación de la distribución y la salida geográfica u Las variables de precipitación influyen más que las de temperatura sobre la distribución de E. antisyphilitica, en un intervalo de precipitación de 200 a 500 mm. La modelación y salida geográfica usando BIoclim de Diva-Gis 7.5® y Maxent® -3.4.1. Las variables de precipitación contribuyeron con el 67.7 % y las variables de temperatura aportaron 32.4%, por lo tanto, en la distribución de E. antisyphilitica, donde la precipitación es el principal factor que inflluye en la presencia de la especie seguida de las variables de temperatura. Maxent es mejor modelo que Bioclim de Diva-Gis para determinar la superficie potencial que ocupa E. antisyphilitica y permite obtener imágenes de calidad con resolución mayor, esto representa una ventaja para estimar las áreas de distribución de poblaciones de candelilla.

“…One of the most important species of this family is E. antisyphilitica Zucc, better known as the candelilla plant, which is used traditionally as an herbal remedy in countries such as India and other arid and semiarid countries [ 1 ]. It naturally grows in the desert and semi-desert regions of northern Mexico, and this non-timber plant is a very important economic resource for the people living in these areas, due to the extreme climatic conditions which restrict agricultural activities [ 3 , 4 ]. The candelilla plant grows in clusters, with thin wax-covered stems that protect them as thick layers giving tolerance against environmental conditions (i.e., temperature variations) and biotic agents (i.e., insects) [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Euphorbia antisyphilitica Zucc, better known as the candelilla plant, is one of the 10 non-timber forest products of greatest economic importance in the desert and semi-desert regions of Mexico. Moreover, it is a potential source of some functional phytochemicals such as polyphenolic compounds, wax and fiber, with potential applications in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Thus, this review aims to describe these phytochemicals and their functional properties as antimicrobial, antioxidant, reinforcing and barrier agents. In addition, a suitable valorization of the candelilla plant and its byproducts is mandatory in order to avoid negative effects on the environment. This review provides, for the first time, an overview of the alternative methodologies for improving candelilla plant production, pointing out some of the agricultural aspects of the cultivation of this plant.

“…In Mexico, and other regions of the world, gathering is carried out for a variety of reasons including dietary, religious, and medicinal purposes (García-Fernández, Casado and Ruíz-Pérez, 2003;Shackleton and Shackleton, 2005;López, 2005;Rojas, 2008;Gerritsen, Ortiz-Arrona and González-Figueroa, 2009;Shanley, Cymerys, Serra and Medina, 2011;Oldfield and Jenkins, 2012;Martínez-Ballesté and Mandujano, 2013). Gathering may also take on a leisure and cultural role (McAvoy and Shirilla, 2005), as an incentive to be outdoors in the natural environment or to pass on family traditions, thereby enriching family bonds.…”

We analyze the cultural and environmental dimensions of foraging the wild edible fruit cachichín (Oecopetalum mexicanum) in the Sierra de Misantla in central Veracruz, Mexico, including gathering practices, social organization, subsistence, commerce, and consumption. Gathering cachichín brings together generations and genders in practices that provide amusement, as well as resources for economic income and personal consumption. Socialization during the gathering of cachichín renews and strengthens family bonds, friendships, and a sense of belonging. This study provides valuable insights for management, use and conservation of non-timber forest resources with biocultural roots.Cultura y ambiente en la Sierra de Misantla, Veracruz, México: el caso de Oecopetalum mexicanumSe analizaron las dimensiones cultural y ambiental de la recolección del fruto silvestre comestible (Oecopetalum mexicanum) de la Sierra de Misantla en el centro de Veracruz, México. Se describen las prácticas de recolección, la organización social, la subsistencia, el comercio y el consumo. Las prácticas de recolección del cachichín proporcionan diversión y reúnen diferentes generaciones de hombres y mujeres; el fruto es para consumo personal y su venta genera ingresos económicos. La socialización durante la recolección de cachichín renueva y fortalece los lazos familiares, de amistad y sentido de pertenencia. Este estudio proporciona información valiosa para el manejo, uso y conservación de los recursos forestales no maderables con raíces bioculturales.
