| description | Tree-rings growth is a data bank that, if correctly interpreted in detail, can help elucidate climatic events of the past. To make more assertive interpretations it is necessary to use information from weather stations near the study sites. The objective of the present study was to determine if there are differences in conditions between the selected meteorological stations and the sampling sites used in the dendroclimatic studies carried out in Mexico. We reviewed different scientific databases and digital search engines to obtain all the published works related to dendroclimatology whose area of study is localized in Mexico. We obtained the values of each of the proposed variables, both the meteorological stations and the sampling sites used in the dendroclimatic studies to calculate an index of similarity of conditions proposed. We recorded 81 studies, but only 39 were analyzed (48%) since only they expressed in a precise way the stations used and the geographical coordinates of the sampling sites. We observed that only 6% of the dendroclimatic studies presented a high similarity, 41% of the studies showed a medium-high similarity, 46% showed a medium-low similarity, and the other 7% presented a low similarity of conditions. A comparison of conditions between meteorological stations and sampling sites should be made in all dendrochronological studies, which could be done with similarity indexes of conditions such as the one recommended in this study. |

Los anillos de crecimiento son un banco de datos que, interpretados a detalle, pueden ayudar a dilucidar eventos climáticos que ocurrieron en el pasado. Para realizar interpretaciones más asertivas es necesario utilizar información proveniente de estaciones meteorológicas cercanas a los sitios de estudio. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar si existen diferencias en condiciones entre las estaciones meteorológicas y los sitios de muestreo que se utilizaron en los estudios dendroclimáticos realizados en México. Se realizó una revisión en diferentes bases de datos científicas y buscadores digitales para obtener todos los trabajos publicados referentes a dendroclimatología cuya zona de estudio fuera en México. Se obtuvieron los valores de las variables propuestas tanto para las estaciones meteorológicas como para los sitios de muestreo de los estudios, para calcular un índice de similitud de condiciones. Se registró un total de 81 estudios, pero solo se analizaron 39 (48%), ya que solo estos expresaban de manera precisa las estaciones utilizadas y las coordenadas geográficas de los sitios de muestreo. Solo 6% de los estudios dendroclimáticos presentaron una alta similitud de condiciones, 41% una similitud media-alta, 46% una similitud media-baja, y 7% una baja similitud de condiciones. Se considera importante realizar, en un futuro cercano, una comparación de condiciones entre las estaciones meteorológicas y los sitios de muestreo en todos los estudios dendrocronológicos; eso se podría realizar con índices de similitud de condiciones como el que se propone en este estudio.
