| description | Tropical dry forests maintain a high diversity and endemic flora and fauna but are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. In the present study we analyzed the composition, structure, diversity and traditional uses of the plants in a locality of the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Oaxaca, Mexico. The vegetation in the study landscape is representative of the semi-arid areas composed by tropical dry forest, scrub, and agricultural areas. During the rainy season of 2018, 30 sampling sites were sampled. A total of 71 species belonging to 24 botanical families were identified. The best represented Families were Cactaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Leguminocea; while the species were Neobuxbaumia tetetzo, Bursera fagaroides, Opuntia pilifera, Myrtillocactus geometrizans and Amphipterygium adstringens. The composition of species varied among the different landscape units, being the unit with agricultural presence the one that had the least diversity of species. Based on interviews, a total of 54 species of plants with traditional uses in the locality were determined. The results of the present study suggest that under an adequate management scheme and conservation plans such as those practiced in this site, the representative composition and plant diversity of this reserve can be maintained. |

Los bosques secos tropicales albergan una alta diversidad y endemismos de flora y fauna, sin embargo, se encuentran entre los ecosistemas más amenazados del mundo. En el presente estudio se analizó la composición, estructura, diversidad y usos tradicionales de las plantas en una localidad de la Reserva de Biosfera Tehuacán-Cuicatlán, Oaxaca, México. La vegetación en el paisaje de estudio es representativa de las zonas semiáridas compuesta por bosque seco tropical, matorral y zonas de agricultura. Durante la época de lluvias del 2018 se establecieron 30 sitios de muestreo. Se identificaron un total de 71 especies pertenecientes a 24 Familias botánicas. Las Familias mejor representadas fueron Cactaceae, Euphorbiaceae y Leguminocea; mientras que las especies fueron Neobuxbaumia tetetzo, Bursera fagaroides, Opuntia pilifera, Myrtillocactus geometrizans y Amphipterygium adstringens. La composición de especies varió entre las diferentes unidades del paisaje, siendo la unidad con presencia agrícola la que tuvo menor diversidad de especies. Con base en talleres y entrevistas, se determinaron un total de 54 especies de plantas con usos tradicionales en la localidad. Los resultados del presente estudio sugieren que bajo un esquema de manejo y planes de conservación adecuados como los que se practican en este sitio, se puede mantener la composición y diversidad vegetal representativa de esta reserva.
