| description | Gallery forests are plant formations that develop parallel to rivers. They possess a great plant diversity; whose arboreal species are indicative of water quality. Here are described the variables of the arboreal plant life and their relationship with the water quality of the Xaltatempa river, Puebla, Mexico. To do this, six sampling units were established, each 1000 m2, separated by 2 km, where all the trees and shrubs were measured and identified in order to generate information regarding: importance value index (IVI), forestry value index (FVI), Shannon-Weaver heterogeneity index (H'), and Sorensen's similarity index (SSI). Additionally, river water samples were taken to determine its main chemical characteristics. The results indicated a statistical difference between sites (α≤0.05), where the most important species, given its dominance, density, and frequency, was Platanus mexicana (IVI=182.71); it was also the most important for its diameter, height, and cover (FVI=300.00). Specific richness (H'=0.54) was found in only six species: Alnus acuminata, Ligustrum japonicum, Parathesis serrulata, Pinus patula, Platanus mexicana, and Quercus rugosa. With regard to SSI, the paired combination of sites 4 (1586 m asl) and 5 (1536 m asl) matched the following species: Alnus acuminata, Ligustrum japonicum, and Platanus mexicana (SSI=1.00). The structure (fragmented) and diversity (very low) of the arboreal plat life of the gallery forest evidence the changes in its composition, without any negative effects on water quality for its exploitation. |

Los bosques de galería son formaciones vegetales que se desarrollan de forma paralela a los cauces de los ríos, poseen gran diversidad vegetal; siendo sus especies arbóreas importantes indicadoras de la calidad del agua; por ello, se describieron las variables de la vegetación arbórea y su relación con la calidad del agua del río Xaltatempa, Puebla, México. Se establecieron seis unidades de muestreo de 1000 m2, distanciadas cada 2 km, en las que se midieron e identificaron todos los árboles y arbustos, para generar información acerca del: índice de valor de importancia (IVI), índice de valor forestal (IVF), índice de heterogeneidad de Shannon-Weaver (H') e índice de similitud de Sorensen (ÍSS); adicionalmente se tomaron muestras de agua del río, para determinar sus principales características químicas. Los resultados indicaron diferencia ente sitios (α≤0.05), donde la especie más importante por su dominancia, densidad y frecuencia fue Platanus mexicana (IVI=182.71); de la misma forma lo fue por su diámetro, altura y cobertura (IVF=300.00). Mientras que la riqueza específica (H'=0.54), se concentró en: Alnus acuminata, Ligustrum japonicum, Parathesis serrulata, Pinus patula, Platanus mexicana y Quercus rugosa; en cuanto al ÍSS la combinación pareada de los sitios 4 (1586 m snm) y 5 (1536 m snm), hizo coincidir a las especies: Alnus acuminata, Ligustrum japonicum y Platanus mexicana (ÍSS=1.00). La estructura (fragmentada) y la diversidad (muy baja) de la vegetación arbórea del bosque de galería, hacen evidentes los cambios en su composición; sin tener efectos negativos en la calidad del agua para su aprovechamiento.
