| description | The tropical dry forest is an ecosystem under strong human pressure. It is found both inland and on coastal dunes. The objective of this research is to identify native tree and palm species growing on dunes that are used by local communities. In this research we carried out surveys and interviews among residents of San Isidro and Colonia La Mancha, in the coast of Veracruz on the use of trees of the tropical dry forest on dunes. Among the 55 registered species, Cedrela odorata, Diphysa robinioides, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Bursera simaruba, Gliricidia sepium, Tabebuia rosea, Chrysobalanus icaco, Guazuma ulmifolia, Acacia cochliacantha, Brosimum alicastrum, Bumelia celastrina, Cocos nucifera, Maclura tinctoria, Piscidia piscipula, Spondias mombin and Ficus spp. were mentioned by more people. Eighteen uses were recorded, being the most frequent construction of houses (119 mentions), posts for fences and live fences (99), firewood (72) and food (48). Four of the uses mentioned refer to environmental services provided by these plants in the dunes. The species with higher number of uses is Gliricidia sepium and Bursera simaruba is the species in which more parts are used, followed by Gliricidia sepium, Guazuma ulmifolia and Brosimum alicastrum. We also inquired about the parts of the tree being used, the frequency, their sale and local price. Based on the results we suggest a group of species that can be used to increase species tree richness in the secondary growths and grassland on dunes, which will provide wood, forage, etc., to the local inhabitants and help maintain the tree cover of the dunes. |

La selva baja caducifolia es un ecosistema bajo fuerte presión por las actividades humanas. Se distribuye tanto sobre dunas costeras como tierra adentro. El trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar las especies de árboles y palmas nativos útiles que crecen en las selvas bajas caducifolias y acahuales sobre las dunas costeras. En el trabajo se aplicaron cuestionarios y se realizaron entrevistas entre pobladores de San Isidro y Colonia La Mancha, en la costa de Veracruz. Se preguntó acerca del uso de los árboles de la selva baja caducifolia. Entre las 55 especies registradas, las más mencionadas fueron Cedrela odorata, Diphysa robinioides, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Bursera simaruba, Gliricidia sepium, Tabebuia rosea, Chrysobalanus icaco, Guazuma ulmifolia, Acacia cochliacantha, Brosimum alicastrum, Bumelia celastrina, Cocos nucifera, Maclura tinctoria, Piscidia piscipula, Spondias mombin y Ficus spp. Se registraron 18 usos, siendo los más frecuentes la construcción de casas (119 menciones), postes y cercas vivas (99), leña (72) y comestibles (48), aunque también hay muchos usos que son poco mencionados. Cuatro de los usos se refirieron a servicios ambientales que prestan las plantas en las dunas. La especie con mayor número de usos es Gliricidia sepium y Bursera simaruba, es la especie con más partes aprovechadas, seguida por Gliricidia sepium, Guazuma ulmifolia y Brosimum alicastrum. También se preguntó acerca de las partes del árbol más usadas, la frecuencia de uso y su venta y precio local. Con base en los resultados se propone un conjunto de especies para enriquecer los acahuales y pastizales de las dunas para proveer madera, forraje, etc., a los habitantes y para mantener la cubierta arbolada de las dunas.
