Structure and floristic composition of a gallery forest in an altitudinal gradient in the northwest of México
The gallery forest is a very lush ecosystem that develops on the margins of water bodies (streams, rivers, lakes, canals, etc.) and forms a narrow strip of vegetation. This study describes the composition and partial structure of tree communities along an altitude gradient in the Las Tinajas stream,...

| description | The gallery forest is a very lush ecosystem that develops on the margins of water bodies (streams, rivers, lakes, canals, etc.) and forms a narrow strip of vegetation. This study describes the composition and partial structure of tree communities along an altitude gradient in the Las Tinajas stream, northwest of México, where three altitude ranges were considered: One (2135 m - 2366 m a.s.l.), Two (2005 m - 2093 m a.s.l.) and Three (1830 m - 1934 m a.s.l.); The specific composition, abundance, dominance, frequency, and importance value index (IVI) of the species by altitude range is analyzed. The species with the highest IVI by altitude range were: 1): Pinus durangensis (20.4%), Quercus sideroxyla (18.6%) and P. ayacahuite (14.4%). 2) Abies durangensis (25.7%), P. ayacahuite (11.5%), and Ilex tolucana (9.9%). 3): Q. crassifolia (29.1%), Cupressus lusitanica (26.4%) and Alnus oblongifolia (20.7%). Statistical analysis (ANOVA) of the abundance, dominance and richness of species shows that there are significant differences (p < 0.05) between the altitude ranges, though not significant difference was made for the Shannon index. Comparison of floristic composition based on the Bray-Curtis model achieved a similarity of less than 50% for the areas evaluated. This study will serve as a baseline of the changes that may occur in this forest in the future, the structure of the different altitude ranges was different and in each of them there are representative species. |

El bosque de galería es un ecosistema muy exuberante que se desarrolla en los márgenes de los cuerpos de agua (arroyos, ríos, lagos, canales, etc.) y forma una franja estrecha de vegetación. Este estudio describe la composición y estructura de comunidades de árboles a lo largo de un gradiente altitudinal en el arroyo Las Tinajas, al noroeste de México, en donde se consideraron tres intervalos de altitud: intervalo 1 (2135 m - 2366 m), intervalo 2 (2005 m - 2093 m) e intervalo 3 (1830 m - 1934 m). Se analizó riqueza específica, abundancia, dominancia, frecuencia e índice de valor de importancia (IVI) de las especies, índice de Shannon y dendrograma de Bray-Curtis por intervalo altitudinal. Las especies con mayor IVI por intervalo altitudinal fueron: intervalo 1: Pinus durangensis (20.4%), Quercus sideroxyla (18.6%) y P. ayacahuite (14.4%); intervalo 2: Abies durangensis (25.7%), P. ayacahuite (11.5%), e Ilex tolucana (9.9%); e intervalo 3: Q. crassifolia (29.1%), Cupressus lusitanica (26.4%) y Alnus oblongifolia (20.7%). El análisis estadístico (ANOVA) de abundancia, dominancia y riqueza de especies muestra que existen diferencias significativas (p < 0.05) entre los intervalos de altitud, mientras el índice de Shannon no mostró diferencia significativa. La composición florística con base en el modelo de Bray-Curtis obtuvo una similitud menor a 50% para las áreas evaluadas. Este estudio servirá como base de referencia de los cambios que puedan presentarse a futuro en este bosque, la estructura de los diferentes intervalos de altitud fue distinta y en cada uno de ellos existen especies representativas.
