Woody Vegetation Types and floristic composition in the Unesco Global Geopark Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca
We describe land cover and floristic composition of woody vegetation in the Mixteca Alta Geopark (GMA), in the state of Oaxaca. Land cover types were identified by a visual classification on a satellite imagery from Google Earth (2016). Land cover types were verified on the ground doing fieldtrips....

| description | We describe land cover and floristic composition of woody vegetation in the Mixteca Alta Geopark (GMA), in the state of Oaxaca. Land cover types were identified by a visual classification on a satellite imagery from Google Earth (2016). Land cover types were verified on the ground doing fieldtrips. We identified nine land cover types. Four of them were woody vegetation, which were sampled to determine their floristic composition. We set 70 temporal sampling sites of 500 m2 each. We counted and measured trees and bushes. In total 91 species were recorded from 55 genus and 31 families. Floristic composition is like other temperate zones in Mexico but, richness in our study site is lower. However, oak forest and oak and pine forest are richer in species than xerophytic scrub and scrub with juniper. The composition and structure show that the vegetation is secondary, it means that it has regrown by secondary succession processes. Currently the GMA area forest cover is growing, and local communities have had a role in this process. |

Se describe la cobertura del suelo y la composición florística de los tipos de vegetación leñosa del geoparque Mixteca Alta (GMA), del estado de Oaxaca, mismos que se identificaron mediante una clasificación visual sobre una imagen de satélite Google Earth (2016) y luego fueron verificados en campo. Se identificaron nueve tipos de cobertura del suelo y cuatro tipos de vegetación leñosa, que fueron muestreados para conocer su composición. En los tipos de vegetación leñosa, se establecieron 70 sitios temporales de 500 m2 cada uno, en los que se censaron árboles y arbustos. En total se registraron 91 especies, pertenecientes a 55 géneros y 31 familias. La composición florística es similar a la de otras zonas templadas de México, aunque la riqueza de especies es menor. Sin embargo, el bosque de encino y el de pino y encino tienen una mayor riqueza de especies en comparación con el matorral xerófilo y con el de enebro. La composición y estructura muestran que la vegetación es de tipo secundaria, que se ha repoblado mediante un proceso de sucesión secundaria. Debe reconocerse que actualmente el GMA es una zona donde la cobertura forestal se está recuperando y que las comunidades locales han desempeñado un papel en este proceso.
