Dynamics of land use and land cover in a Mexican national park
To understand the dynamics of land cover at the Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote, the rates of change in land use were compared at two different scales during the period 1995-2004. At the meso scale, these patterns were studied throughout the entire Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote, which is one of th...

| description | To understand the dynamics of land cover at the Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote, the rates of change in land use were compared at two different scales during the period 1995-2004. At the meso scale, these patterns were studied throughout the entire Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote, which is one of the 60 priority mountains of Mexico, and an important natural protected area of the country located in the state of Veracruz. At a micro scale, the work was focused in ejido El Conejo, located within the boundaries of this national park. Federal government digital orthophotos were used to determine changes in nine categories of land use. In both, the meso- and micro-scale, it was found that the predominant land cover categories are agriculture and forest. The probabilities of land cover change at both scales are low and essentially the same for most land use categories, reflecting both small gains in forest cover park-wide as well as the effectiveness of the ejido in managing natural resources within the park. The authors consider that the findings of the study may be applicable to the broader situation of national parks in Mexico and, finally, the importance of integrating local stakeholders in the management of natural protected areas is discussed. |

Para entender la dinámica de la cobertura del suelo en el Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote, se hizo una comparación de las tasas de cambio de uso a dos escalas durante el periodo 1995-2004. A escala meso, se estudiaron estos patrones en toda la superficie del Parque Nacional Cofre de Perote, que es una de las 60 montañas prioritarias de México y también una importante área natural protegida del país ubicada en el estado de Veracruz. A escala micro el estudio se enfocó en el ejido El Conejo que se encuentra dentro de los límites de este parque nacional. Se utilizaron ortofotos digitales del gobierno federal para determinar el cambio en nueve categorías de uso del suelo. En ambas, meso y microescalas, se encontró que las categorías predominantes de cobertura son la agricultura y el bosque. Las probabilidades de cambio de cobertura del suelo en ambas escalas son bajas y tienen valores esencialmente iguales para la mayoría de las categorías de uso, reflejando tanto pequeñas ganancias en cobertura forestal en todo el parque como la efectividad del ejido en el manejo de recursos naturales dentro del parque. Se considera que los hallazgos de este estudio pueden ser aplicables a la situación prevaleciente en los restantes parques nacionales de México; al final se discute la importancia de integrar a los actores locales en el manejo de áreas naturales protegidas.
