| description | The growing tendency of human impacts and hurricanes on the rain forest of the Yucatan Peninsula has constituted a threat to their survival. This is of great relevance, considering that the management of the rain forest is a fundamental activity for its conservation and generation of income for the local populations. This scenario was the basis for the present study carried out in the rain forest of Noh-Bec, Quintana Roo, impacted by the hurricane "Dean" (2007). The purpose was to identify the factors that had influence on the magnitude of damages caused in the arboreal community, as well as the changes in its structure and composition in the period 1998-2014. For this, measurements were made in permanent sampling plots aimed at obtaining information on the main structural characteristics, species attributes and hurricane damage (1998, 2010 and 2014). The results obtained confirmed that the damage of 56.3% of the trees of different sizes of the community was the effect of the multiple association between hurricane winds, density (trees/ha) factors, species attributes and exploitation disturbances. The results also revealed changes in the structure, importance of the species and in the structural diversity of the rain forest, variations that were manifested in an initial decrease in the heights, diameters and volumes of the arboreal community (1998-2010), to subsequently undertake regeneration processes (2010-2014). The variables density (number of trees per hectare) and basimetric area, had an inverse behavior: they first increased in the first period (1998-2010), to subsequently decrease in the second period (2010-2014). |

La tendencia creciente de impactos humanos y de huracanes sobre las selvas de la Península de Yucatán, se ha constituido en una amenaza para su sobrevivencia. Esto es de gran relevancia, considerando que el manejo de la selva, es una actividad primordial para su conservación y generación de ingresos para las poblaciones locales. Este escenario fundamentó el presente estudio realizado en la selva de Noh-Bec, Quintana Roo, impactada por el huracán “Dean” (2007). El propósito fue identificar los factores que tuvieron influencia sobre la magnitud de daños ocasionados en la comunidad arbórea, así como los cambios en su estructura y composición en el periodo 1998 - 2014. Para esto se realizaron mediciones en parcelas permanentes de muestreo, dirigidas a obtener información sobre los principales caracteres estructurales, los atributos de especies y los daños del huracán (1998, 2010 y 2014). Los resultados obtenidos confirmaron que los daños sobre 56.3% de los árboles de diferentes tamaños de la comunidad fueron efecto de la asociación múltiple entre los vientos del huracán, los factores de densidad (individuos/ha), los atributos de especies y los disturbios de los aprovechamientos. Los resultados también revelaron cambios en la estructura, importancia de las especies y en la diversidad estructural de la selva, variaciones que se manifestaron en una disminución inicial de las alturas totales, diámetros y volúmenes de la comunidad arbórea (1998-2010), para posteriormente emprender procesos de regeneración (2010-2014). Las variables densidad (número de individuos por hectárea) y área basimétrica tuvieron un comportamiento inverso: aumentaron en el primer periodo (1998-2010), para posteriormente disminuir en el segundo periodo (2010-2014).
