| description | Background and Aims: The fundo legal (FL) is a strip of forest vegetation that peripherally delimits the villages, provides multiple ecosystem servicesand is part of the mayan community forest reserves of the Yucatan Peninsula. The objective of this study was to describe the forms of use and managementof FL woody vegetation by the inhabitants of the community of Yaxcabá, Yucatan, Mexico.Methods: Within the FL, three sections were selected based on the number of roads identified. Eight sampling plots of 400 m2 (20 × 20 m) and eightmore plots of mature vegetation (MV) were established in each section. In each plot the diameter of the stumps was measured and their taxonomicidentity was determined. The richness, diversity, density and basal area of the stumps and each section was contrasted with sampling plots with MVoutside the FL and with little evidence of use. A closed survey was applied to the local people to detail the forms of local use and management thatresidents carry out in the FL.Key results: There were 58 useful species that included 42 genera and 22 families of angiosperms, of which Fabaceae, Polygonaceae and Ebenaceaewere the most abundant families. Harvesting includes a wide variety of species and few individuals per species are harvested, but the use variesamong courses within the community; this use does not significantly affect the composition of species between FL and MV.Conclusions: Even though there are sections of the FL in which its vegetal cover is degraded, the strategies of current use allow the permanence andconservation of the composition of species at the local level. The intensity of exploitation in the FL is reflected by a greater number of roads and thedistance between them and the forest resources they use. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El fundo legal (FL) es una franja de vegetación forestal que delimita periféricamente a los poblados, provee de múltiples servicios ecosistémicos y forma parte de las Reservas Forestales Comunitarias Mayas de la Península de Yucatán. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las formas de uso y manejo de la vegetación leñosa del FL por parte de los habitantes de la comunidad de Yaxcabá, Yucatán. Métodos: El FL se dividió en tres secciones a partir del número de caminos identificados. En cada sección se establecieron ocho parcelas de muestreo de 400 m2 (20 x 20 m) y ocho parcelas más en vegetación madura (VM). En cada parcela se midió el diámetro de los tocones y se determinó su identidad taxonómica. Se estimó la riqueza, densidad y área basal y se contrastó con sitios con VM fuera del FL y con poca evidencia de aprovechamiento. Se aplicó una encuesta cerrada a la población para detallar las formas de uso local y manejo que los habitantes hacen en el FL. Resultados clave: Se registraron 58 especies útiles que comprenden 42 géneros y 22 familias de angiospermas, donde Fabaceae, Polygonaceae y Ebenaceae fueron las familias más abundantes. El aprovechamiento comprende una amplia variedad de especies y se cosechan pocos individuos pero el aprovechamiento varía entre rumbos dentro de la comunidad; este aprovechamiento no afecta notablemente la composición de especies entre el FL y la VM. Conclusiones: Aun cuando existen secciones del FL en las que su cobertura vegetal se encuentra degradada, las estrategias de aprovechamiento actual permiten la permanencia y conservación de la composición de especies a nivel local. La intensidad de aprovechamientos en el FL se ve reflejada por una mayor cantidad de caminos y la distancia que hay entre ellos y los recursos forestales que utilizan.
