Bioclimatic classification of the Mexican Pacific slope and its relationship with potential vegetation
In this study we address the relationship between climate and vegetation in the territory of the Mexican Pacific rim, a strip of 100 km wide that extends from the coast landwards with its north and south limits coinciding with Mexico’s border with the United States of America and Guatemala, respecti...

| description | In this study we address the relationship between climate and vegetation in the territory of the Mexican Pacific rim, a strip of 100 km wide that extends from the coast landwards with its north and south limits coinciding with Mexico’s border with the United States of America and Guatemala, respectively. Relationships were established from bioclimatic analysis performed with temperature and precipitation data from 691 weather stations existing in the study area. The bioclimatic diagnosis identified the Mediterranean and Tropical macrobioclimates, the Mediterranean Pluviseasonal Oceanic, Mediterranean Xeric Oceanic, Mediterranean Desert Oceanic, Mediterranean Hyperdesertic Oceanic, Tropical Pluvial, Tropical Pluviseasonal, Tropical Xeric, Tropical Desertic and Tropical Hiperdesertic bioclimates, and 30 isobioclimates. The field sampling was focused towards physiognomic and floristic characterization of the natural potential vegetation of the different bioclimatic units, thereby establishing the main diagnostic features (bio-indicators and physiognomic-structural elements) of the bioclimatic sequence along the latitudinal gradient. |

En este trabajo se abordan las relaciones entre el clima y la vegetación en el territorio de la vertiente del Pacífico Mexicano, considerada como una franja de 100 km de ancho que desde el litoral se extiende hacia tierra adentro y cuyos extremos norte y sur coinciden con la frontera de México con los Estados Unidos de América y con Guatemala respectivamente. Las relaciones fueron establecidas a partir del análisis bioclimático efectuado con los datos de precipitación y temperatura de 691 estaciones meteorológicas existentes en el área de estudio. La diagnosis bioclimática permitió identificar los macrobioclimas Mediterráneo y Tropical, los bioclimas Mediterráneo Pluviestacional Oceánico, Mediterráneo Xérico Oceánico, Mediterráneo Desértico Oceánico, Mediterráneo Hiperdesértico Oceánico, Tropical Pluvial, Tropical Pluviestacional, Tropical Xérico, Tropical Desértico y Tropical Hiperdesértico, y 30 isobioclimas. Los muestreos de campo se dirigieron hacia la caracterización fisionómica y florística de la vegetación natural potencial de las diferentes unidades bioclimáticas, estableciendo así los principales elementos diagnósticos (bioindicadores y fisionómico-estructurales) de la secuencia bioclimática a lo largo del gradiente latitudinal.
