description The arboreal communities of a silvopastoral agroecosystem play an important role in the arid and semiarid ecosystems of the country, by conserving the biodiversity and the development of the livestock activities that are of vital importance in the North of Mexico. With the objective of characterizing an arboreal community of a silvopastoral agroforestry system in a transition zone of tamaulipan thornscrub and mezquital in Nuevo Leon, five sampling sites of 2500 m2 were established; we made an inventory of all tree species with diameter at the height of 1.30 m (DBH) > 7.5 cm. The vertical and horizontal structure and composition were evaluated through vegetation analysis (relative abundance, relative frequency, relative dominance), importance value index, forest value index and models for the variables normal diameter – canopy cover. The main species from an ecological standpoint were Prosopis laevigata (Hump. & Bonlp., Ex.Will.) M. C. Johnst. and Ebenopsis ebano (Berland.) Barneby & J. W. Grimes, the community presented high density of individuals, high canopy cover and a vertical structure with a high proportion of individuals ≥6 m in height. The linear model showed the best adjustments by presenting an R2 = 0.621. Silvopastoral management has conserved and promoted the structural attributes of the native plant community.

Las comunidades arbóreas con sistemas silvopastoriles desempeñan un papel importante en los ecosistemas áridos y semiáridos del país, al conservar la biodiversidad y el desarrollo de las actividades ganaderas, que son de vital importancia en el norte de México. Con el objetivo de caracterizar una comunidad arbórea de un sistema silvopastoril en una zona de transición de matorral espinoso tamaulipeco y mezquital en Nuevo León, se establecieron cinco sitios de muestreo de 2500 m2, en los cuales se realizó un inventario de todas las especies arbóreas con diámetro a la altura de 1.30 m (DAP) igual o mayor que 7.5 cm. Se evaluaron composición y estructuras vertical y horizontal a través de parámetros estructurales de la vegetación (abundancia relativa, frecuencia relativa, dominancia relativa), índice de valor de importancia, índice de valor forestal y modelos para las variables diámetro normal - área de copa. Las especies principales desde el punto de vista ecológico fueron Prosopis laevigata (Hump. & Bonlp. ex. Willd.) M. C. Johnst. y Ebenopsis ebano (Berland.) Barneby & J. W. Grimes, la comunidad presentó alta densidad de individuos, alta cobertura de copa y una estructura vertical con alta proporción de individuos con altura mayor o igual a 6 m. El modelo lineal mostró los mejores ajustes al presentar un R2 = 0.621. El manejo silvo-pastoril ha conservado y promovido los atributos estructurales de la comunidad vegetal nativa.
