description Knowledge of the dynamics of cover change, land use (CCUS) and forest degradation is crucial in developing countries for the prevention of deforestation, as well as the planning of forest restoration and rehabilitation activities. Currently, there are no studies on the dynamics of CCUS in the temperate forests of the Mexico Basin; these processes have not been mapped and quantified at a regional scale. In this study, the rates, and trajectories of change in existing coverage were determined and specific change processes such as permanence, degradation, deforestation, and recovery were analyzed. In addition, a spatial distribution map of the fir and oak forests with different degrees of degradation (primary forest, degraded primary forest, secondary forest, and degraded forest land) was generated. It was found that during the entire period of analysis (21 years, 1993-2014) the primary oyamel forest recovered 610 ha (~ 29 ha per year) but 1062 (~ 50 ha per year) were degraded and 689 ha were lost (~ 32 ha per year). In the case of the primary oak forest, during the total period, 2104 ha (~ 100 ha per year) were recovered, 3370 ha were degraded (~ 160 ha per year) and 2773 ha were lost (~ 132 ha per year). The information generated in this study will serve as the basis for the identification of potential areas for restoration and the design of management strategies to generate conservation opportunities.

El conocimiento de la dinámica de cambio de cobertura, uso del suelo (CCUS) y de la degradación forestal es crucial en países en desarrollo para la prevención de la deforestación, así como para la planificación de actividades de restauración y rehabilitación de los bosques. Actualmente no existen estudios acerca de la dinámica de CCUS de los bosques templados de la Cuenca de México, estos procesos no han sido cartografiados ni cuantificados a escala regional. En este estudio se determinaron las tasas y las trayectorias de cambio de las coberturas existentes y se analizaron procesos de cambio específicos como permanencia, degradación, deforestación y recuperación. Además, se generó un mapa de distribución espacial de los bosques de oyamel y de encino con diferente grado de degradación (bosque primario, bosque primario degradado, bosque secundario y tierra forestal degradada). Se encontró que, durante el período completo de análisis (21 años, 1993-2014), el bosque primario de oyamel recuperó 610 ha (~29 ha por año) pero se degradaron 1062 (~50 ha por año) y se perdieron 689 ha (~32 ha por año). Para el caso del bosque primario de encino, durante el período total se recuperaron 2104 ha (~100 ha por año), se degradaron 3370 ha (~ 160 ha por año) y se perdieron 2773 ha (~132 ha por año). La información generada en este estudio servirá de base para la identificación de áreas potenciales para la restauración y el diseño de estrategias de gestión para generar oportunidades de conservación.
