description Nowadays the decrease in the ongoing profitability of Progreso Hidalgo and its low productive capacity in agriculture have caused changes in land cover and vegetation (agricultural conversion) mainly due to the implementation of agriculture based on greenhouses. The main objective of this research paper is to analyze changes on land cover and land use which took place from 2000-2007 and from 2007-2015 by using land cover and vegetation maps that came up as the result of interdependent visual interpretation of cartographic items, in order to understand the changing process and dynamics of land use in this place. The maps that were obtained faced a process of cartographic validation to know the level of thematic reliability and by means of overlapping them the indexes of change, the indexes of Braimon and change rates were established. According to the results, it can be stated that for the period between 2000 and 2007 there was a decrease in two forms of agriculture (irrigated and rainfed) and in an area of forest. Also, there was a loss of 23.04 ha of agriculture and 16.76 ha of forest. On the other hand, there was an increase in the area intended for greenhouses, with a total of 5.19 ha. For the period between 2007 and 2015, agriculture had a depletion of 18.71 ha, whereas greenhouses have taken up 14.39 ha. The depletion of this area widely used for agriculture has come as the result of the implementation and expansion of new areas designated to greenhouses, which are basically conditioned by environmental factors (protection of crops and soil conditions) as well as socioeconomic factors (government programs, accessibility, amount of production and its commercialization).

Actualmente, en Progreso Hidalgo la pérdida de la rentabilidad y de la capacidad productiva agrícola está ocasionando cambios en las coberturas de uso de suelo y vegetación (conversión agrícola), uno de ellos es la implementación de la producción agrícola en invernaderos. Por lo cual la presente investigación tiene por objetivo analizar los cambios de cobertura y uso de suelo para los periodos 2000-2007 y 2007-2015, mediante mapas de uso de suelo y vegetación, resultado de la interpretación visual interdependiente de insumos cartográficos, para comprender los procesos de cambio y la dinámica de uso de suelo que determina a la zona. Los mapas obtenidos fueron sometidos a la validación cartográfica para conocer su grado de confiabilidad temática. Por medio de la sobreposición de dichos mapas se determinaron los indicadores de cambio, índices de Braimoh y las tasas de cambio. Los resultados alcanzados expresan que, para el periodo 2000-2007, las categorías de agricultura (de temporal y riego) y bosque decrecieron, puesto que se perdieron 23.04 ha y 16.76 ha, respectivamente. Por su parte, la cobertura que obtuvo mayores ganancias fueron los invernaderos con 5.19 ha, mientras que para el periodo 2007-2015 la agricultura perdió 18.71 ha, pasando a invernaderos 14.39 ha. La pérdida de la superficie agrícola es producto de la implementación y expansión de nuevos espacios destinados a la producción agrícola en invernaderos, condicionados principalmente por factores ambientales (protección de cultivos y tipo, estado y condición del suelo) y socioeconómicos (programas gubernamentales, accesibilidad, cantidad de producción y tipo comercialización).  Instituto de Ecología, A.C. 2017-11-18 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf text/html https://myb.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/myb/article/view/1516 10.21829/myb.2017.2331516 Madera y Bosques; Vol. 23 No. 3 (2017): Otoño 2017; 39-60 Madera y Bosques; Vol. 23 Núm. 3 (2017): Otoño 2017; 39-60 2448-7597 1405-0471 spa https://myb.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/myb/article/view/1516/1698 https://myb.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/myb/article/view/1516/1711 Derechos de autor 2017 Madera y Bosques
