| description | The vegetation belts on the slopes of the Sierra de Catorce and surrounding areas in the southern Chihuahuan Desert (State of San Luis Potosi, Mexico) were recognized. The major units of vegetation were studied from a phytosociological point of view and bioclimatic data results from weather stations were analysed and extrapolated. The Tropical Xeric and Tropical Pluviseasonal bioclimates were characterized in the area. Of the first one the Semi-arid Thermotropical, the Semi-arid Mesotropical, the Dry Mesotropical, and the Dry Supratropical belts are present. Of the second bioclimate, only the Subhumid Supratropical belt is punctually present. The description of each of these belts is accompanied by data on composition, cliserial distribution and bioclimatic diagnosis of the corresponding potential natural vegetation (diferent forest and scrub communities) and the most representative biomarkers of each situation are indicated. |

Se realizó una caracterización de los pisos de vegetación reconocidos a lo largo del gradiente actitudinal en la Sierra de Catorce y zonas aledañas, en la porción meridional del Desierto Chihuahuense (Estado de San Luis Potosí, México). Para ello se efectuó la diagnosis de las principales unidades de vegetación, utilizando el enfoque fitosociológico, y la interpretación de los resultados bioclimáticos obtenidos a partir de los datos de las estaciones meteorológicas analizadas y de las extrapolaciones efectuadas. En el territorio considerado se han reconocido los bioclimas Tropical Xérico y Tropical Pluviestacional. En el primer caso se presentan los pisos Termotropical Semiárido, Mesotropical Semiárido, Mesotropical Seco y Supratropical Seco. En el Tropical Pluviestacional sólo se presenta de forma puntual el piso Supratropical Subhúmedo. Para cada una de estas situaciones se acompañan datos de la composición, distribución cliserial y diagnosis bioclimática de su vegetación natural potencial correspondiente (diferentes comunidades arbóreas y arbustivas), y se señalan los bioindicadores más representativos de cada situación.
