Floristic inventory of the Natural Protected Area Parque Nacional El Potosí, San Luis Potosí, Mexico
Background and Aims: Mexico presents a great diversity of vascular flora given its geographical, orographic and climatic conformation. However, many sites have incomplete or non-existent floristic inventories. This is the case of El Potosí National Park Protected Natural Area, which despite having b...

| description | Background and Aims: Mexico presents a great diversity of vascular flora given its geographical, orographic and climatic conformation. However, many sites have incomplete or non-existent floristic inventories. This is the case of El Potosí National Park Protected Natural Area, which despite having been established in 1936, lacks an updated inventory of its vascular flora. The objective of this work was to obtain such inventory, as a reference of temperate forests in the Sierra Madre Oriental. Endemic species to Mexico and San Luis Potosí and adjacent regions are highlighted, as well as those in some category of risk.
Methods: Botanical collections were made in a gradient from 1800 to 2390 m a.s.l., between June 2017 and September 2018. Data about the habitat, phenology and growth form were recorded. The taxonomic biodiversity index in the studied area was compared with other temperate forest regions in the state of San Luis Potosí.
Key results: A total of 354 species of vascular plants are registered, of 228 genera in 83 families. The families with the highest species richness are Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Lamiaceae and Polypodiaceae. The taxonomic biodiversity in the area is similar to those reported for other regions with temperate forests in San Luis Potosí. The area includes 99 endemic species to Mexico, and six exclusive of San Luis Potosí and adjacent areas. In addition, six species are listed in some risk category according to NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, 16 in the CITES appendices and 14 in some risk category of the Red List of the IUCN.
Conclusions: The species richness, its endemism and diversity, as well as the presence of threatened species, highlights the importance of the Parque Nacional El Potosí as priority region for the conservation of the temperate forest in the Sierra Madre Oriental. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: México presenta gran diversidad de flora vascular dada su conformación geográfica, orográfica y climática. Sin embargo, muchos sitios tienen inventarios florísticos incompletos o inexistentes. Es el caso del Área Natural Protegida Parque Nacional El Potosí que, a pesar de ser establecido en 1936, carece de un inventario actualizado de su flora vascular. El objetivo de este trabajo fue generar dicho inventario como un referente de los bosques templados en la Sierra Madre Oriental. Se resaltan las especies endémicas para México, para el estado de San Luis Potosí y regiones adyacentes, así como aquellas que se encuentran en alguna categoría de riesgo. Métodos: Se condujeron recolectas botánicas en un gradiente de 1800 a 2390 m s.n.m., entre junio 2017 y septiembre 2018. Además, se tomaron datos sobre el hábitat, fenología y forma de crecimiento, y se comparó el índice de biodiversidad taxonómica del área de estudio respecto a otras regiones con bosques templados en el estado de San Luis Potosí. Resultados clave: Se registran 354 especies de plantas vasculares en 228 géneros de 83 familias. Las familias con mayor riqueza de especies son Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Lamiaceae y Polypodiaceae. La biodiversidad taxonómica del área es similar a la reportada en otras regiones con bosques templados en San Luis Potosí. El área incluye 99 especies endémicas de México, seis exclusivas de San Luis Potosí y zonas adyacentes, además de seis especies bajo alguna categoría de riesgo según la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, 16 dentro de los apéndices de la CITES y 14 en alguna categoría de riesgo en la Lista Roja de la IUCN. Conclusiones: La riqueza de especies, su endemismo y diversidad, además de la presencia de especies amenazadas, resaltan la importancia que tiene el Parque Nacional El Potosí como región prioritaria para la conservación de los bosques templados en la Sierra Madre Oriental.
