| description | Background and Aims: Within the Natural Protected Area Sierra Fría (ANPSF), Aguascalientes, Mexico, some studies have been carried out on the composition, diversity and dynamics of temperate forests in lowlands; in this work we studied Monte Grande, its highest area. The aim of this study was to characterize the composition, diversity and structure of the woody species communities in the temperate forests of Monte Grande, within the ANPSF.
Methods: Individuals with a basal diameter ≥5 cm were measured in 32 transects of 300 m2. A grouping by cluster analysis and subsequently Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests were performed to find differences between plant associations. The analyzed data included density, basal area, height, relative importance value, richness and effective number of species.
Key results: Twenty-six woody species (nine genera and eight families) were identified in five associations: Quercus sideroxyla-Quercus rugosa oak forest, Quercus potosina-Arctostaphylos pungens oak forest, Quercus-Pinus mixed forest, Juniperus-Quercus mixed forest and Juniperus forest. The Q. sideroxyla-Q. rugosa forest had the largest basal area value (53 m2/ha), and the Quercus-Pinus forest had the highest density (2200 ind/ha). The effective number of species varied between 1.50-4.031D 1.27-3.242D. The abundance of A. pungens and J. deppeana, considered pioneers, was high.
Conclusions: The structure and diversity of the associations presented differences due to their composition, the conditions in which the associations develop, and the management history of Monte Grande. The generated information provides a reference frame for decision making in relation to the conservation and use of the forests of the region. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Dentro del Área Natural Protegida Sierra Fría (ANPSF), Aguascalientes, México, se han llevado a cabo algunos estudios sobre la composición, diversidad y dinámica de los bosques templados en zonas bajas; en este trabajo se estudia Monte Grande, su zona más alta. El objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar la composición, la diversidad y la estructura de las comunidades de especies leñosas en los bosques templados de Monte Grande, dentro del ANPSF. Métodos: Los individuos con un diámetro basal ≥5 cm se midieron en 32 transectos de 300 m2. Se realizó una agrupación por medio de un análisis cluster y posteriormente los datos se analizaron mediante pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis y ANOVA para encontrar diferencias entre asociaciones vegetales. Los datos analizados incluyeron densidad, área basal, altura, valor de importancia relativa, riqueza y número de especies efectivas. Resultados clave: Veintiséis especies leñosas (nueve géneros y ocho familias) se identificaron en cinco asociaciones: bosque de encino de Quercus sideroxyla-Quercus rugosa, bosque de encino de Quercus potosina-Arctostaphylos pungens, bosque mixto de Quercus-Pinus, bosque mixto de Juniperus-Quercus y bosque de Juniperus. El bosque de Q. sideroxyla-Q. rugosa presentó la mayor área basal (53 m2/ha) y el bosque de Quercus-Pinus, la mayor densidad (2200 ind/ha). El número de especies efectivas oscila entre 1.50-4.031D y 1.27-3.242D. La abundancia de A. pungens y J. deppeana, consideradas pioneras, fue alta. Conclusiones: La estructura y diversidad de las asociaciones presentaron diferencias debidas a su composición, condiciones en las que se desarrollan e historial de manejo de Monte Grande. La información generada proporciona un marco de referencia para la toma de decisiones en relación con la conservación y aprovechamiento de los bosques de la región.
