| description | Ecosystems continuously exchange carbon and water vapor with the atmosphere through ecosystem processes. Net ecosystem production shows the balance between carbon uptake by productivity and carbon release by ecosystem respiration. Evaluating this production along with the changes during secondary ecological succession represents a great challenge. In this context, the eddy covariance technique is widely applied to quantify ecosystem fluxes on a continuous basis. In the case of tropical dry forests, several monitoring sites have been established to investigate the ecosystem functionality during succession using the eddy covariance technique. This information provides insights for decision-makers, in terms of conservation and ecosystem services management, and for scientists to parameterize models to predict the response of these seasonal dry ecosystems to climate change. Tropical dry ecosystems are of great relevance in the carbon cycle due to their large extension and productivity. The challenge of studying these ecosystems lies in understanding the coupling between carbon production and seasonal water availability. The objective of this work is to give an update of those studies related to biosphere-atmosphere interactions using the eddy covariance technique, specifically in tropical dry forests highlighting the effect of ecological succession on carbon dynamics. It also shows and highlights the local-to-global importance of this type of system of functional monitoring of ecosystems across Mexico. |

Los ecosistemas continuamente intercambian carbono y vapor de agua con la atmósfera a través de procesos ecosistémicos. En general, la producción neta del ecosistema refleja el balance entre los flujos de entrada de carbono por productividad y la liberación por la respiración ecosistémica. Evaluar esta producción a lo largo de los cambios producidos por la sucesión ecológica secundaria representa un desafío muy grande. En este contexto, la técnica de covarianza de vórtices está siendo ampliamente utilizada para cuantificar flujos ecosistémicos de manera continua. En el bosque tropical seco se han establecido varios sitios de monitoreo utilizando esta técnica para conocer la funcionalidad del ecosistema durante la sucesión ecológica. Esta información puede contribuir a la toma de decisiones en términos de conservación y administración de servicios ecosistémicos, así como para alimentar modelos para predecir la respuesta de este ecosistema estacional seco al cambio climático. Los ecosistemas tropicales secos son de gran relevancia para el ciclo del carbono debido a su considerable extensión y productividad. El reto de estudiar estos ecosistemas radica en que su dinámica de producción de carbono está acoplada principalmente a la disponibilidad estacional de agua. De manera que, el objetivo de este trabajo fue actualizar la información de las interacciones biosfera-atmósfera utilizando la técnica de covarianza de vórtices particularmente en bosques tropicales secos, con el fin de resaltar el efecto de la sucesión ecológica en la dinámica del carbono en estos bosques. Asimismo, se muestra y resalta la importancia local y global de este tipo de sistemas de monitoreo funcional de ecosistemas en México.
