| description | The Sierra Zapaliname (SZA) is the most important source of water for Saltillo and neighboring settlements. Population increase is putting pressure on limited water sources, therefore it is necessary to have a better understanding of historical hydroclimate variability for planning the proper use of limited water resources. Tree-ring series were developed for the lower, mid, and upper sections along an altitudinal gradient in SZA. The chronology length was 412 years (1595-2006), 306 years (17002005) , and 603 years (1400-2002), for the lower, mid, and higher elevation, respectively. The lower elevation tree-ring chronology had higher climatic sensitivity to dry periods as compared to those of the mid and upper elevation sections. Intense and extended droughts were detected along the altitudinal gradient in the 1440s to 1450s, 1530s, 1590s, 1640s, 1660s, 1690s, 1710s, 1740s, 1750s, 1760s, 1790s, 1860s, 1890s, 1920s, 1950s, and 2000s, and produced local and regional food shortage and epidemic outbreaks. Severe droughts were detected at frequencies of 100 years followed by mid intensive droughts at 50-year periods. The climatic influence of ENSO in determining hydroclimatic behavior of SZA has not been significant and other circulatory patterns (cold fronts, hurricanes, tropical storms) could better explain the historical climate variability that has characterized this mountain range. |

Population increase is putting pressure on limited water sources, therefore it is necessary to have a better understanding of historical hydroclimate variability for planning the proper use of limited water resources. Tree-ring series were developed for the lower, mid, and upper sections along an altitudinal gradient in SZA.

La Sierra de Zapalinamé (SZA) es la fuente de agua más importante para Saltillo, Coahuila y poblaciones aledañas. La presión sobre los recursos hídricos debido al incremento poblacional, demanda un conocimiento detallado de su variabilidad hidroclimática histórica con fines de planeación. En este trabajo, se integraron tres series dendrocronológicas regionales a lo largo del gradiente altitudinal de SZA, con una extensión de 412 años (1595-2006), 306 años (1700-2005) y 603 años (1400-2002), para la parte baja, media y alta, respectivamente. La cronología de la parte baja, desarrollada con Pinus cembroides fue más sensible a periodos secos. Sequías de gran magnitud e intensidad se presentaron en todo el gradiente altitudinal en las décadas de 1440 y 1450; 1530, 1590, 1640 , 1660, 1690, 1710, 1740, 1750, 1760, 1790, 1860, 1890, 1920, 1950 y 2000, con impacto en la disponibilidad de alimentos y presencia de epidemias y hambrunas generalizadas a nivel local y regional. Eventos secos de alta intensidad se presentaron en periodos aproximados de 100 años, con sequías intermedias cada 50 años. El impacto histórico de patrones atmosféricos circulatorios como ENSO, no indicó una influencia significativa en la variabilidad hidroclimática de SZA y el efecto de otros fenómenos atmosféricos (frentes fríos, huracanes, tormentas tropicales), pudieran explicar con mayor detalle el comportamiento climático de esta montaña.
