| description | Tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) is a current issue. It would appear that TMCF had an extended tradition in ecological research, but it is only during the last 20 years that it has been intensively studied. The last 10 years have seen an impressive development in ecological knowledge and the emergence of several research lines. The objective of this paper is to present a review of the TMCF ecological research published in 1995-2014 to have a retrospective, a current view and a glimpse of future studies in Mexico and, particularly, in the state of Veracruz. Biodiversity and disturbance have been the most addressed issues in TMCF. In the last decade, following disturbance and habitat loss of the TMCF, more applied topics such as ecological restoration and ecosystem services have been consolidated. Forthcoming topics will be relating forest resilience with forest processes, components and climate change effects. |

El bosque mesófilo de montaña (BMM) es un tema de actualidad y, pareciera que con larga tradición de investigación ecológica pero el BMM, desde un punto de vista ecológico, ha empezado a estudiarse intensamente en los últimos 20 años con un impresionante desarrollo y despunte en varias áreas solamente en los últimos 10 años. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar una revisión de 1995 a 2014 de varios temas de investigación para tener una retrospectiva, una visión actual y un vislumbre de hacia dónde se dirigen los estudios futuros de ecología del bosque mesófilo de montaña de México y particularmente en el bosque de Veracruz. Los temas más estudiados en el BMM están relacionados con biodiversidad y perturbaciones. En la última década se han consolidado temas prácticos que aparentemente tuvieron que esperar a que las condiciones de perturbación y destrucción del bosque los impulsaran, como son la restauración ecológica y los servicios ecosistémicos. Los temas a futuro deben relacionar la resiliencia del bosque, procesos y componentes ante los efectos del cambio climático.
