| description | We conducted a literature review of the basic density of diverse species focused on timber species in Mexico by vegetation cover type. Ecosystems and species included are based on the classification of the vegetation of Mexico prepared by J. Rzedowski (1978) that even tough it is still considered the primary source of information on vegetation types, it is necessary to take into account that there are new developments in the taxonomic identification and/or reclassification. Whereupon, we list here the wood density values for 611 species and 785 species are identified as without information at the time. Also, we provide data of minimum and maximum values of density by ecosystem type, and the list corresponding to density by specie (sp.), and by ecosystem type. The knowledge of wood density, not only allows the better use of wood as a natural resource, but it becomes important in the conversion of real stock volume (m3) to biomass (t) and in particular to estimate the content, capture or carbon sequestration, where, by having the value of wood density, allows more accurate estimates (biomass and carbon concentrations). This fact has gained importance to the carbon sequestration market as a conservation measure of plant cover, payment for environmental services, in particular as a strategy for climate change mitigation and especially for greenhouse gases emission inventories and MRV of REDD’s projects. |

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la densidad básica de la madera de diversas especies con énfasis en especies maderables en México por tipo de cobertura vegetal. Los ecosistemas y las especies incluidas están basados en la clasificación de la vegetación de México elaborada por J. Rzedowski (1978) que, si bien es vigente, es necesario tomar en cuenta que hay nuevos avances en la identificación taxonómica y/o reclasificación. Se proporciona la densidad de la madera para 636 especies y se identifican 738 especies sin información. Asimismo, se proporcionan los datos de la densidad máxima y mínima por tipo de ecosistema y el listado correspondiente de la densidad por especie (sp.), por tipo de ecosistema. El conocimiento de la densidad de la madera, no solo permite darle un mejor uso como recurso natural, sino que adquiere relevancia en la conversión del volumen de las existencias reales (m3) a biomasa (t) y en particular para la estimación del contenido, captura o secuestro de carbono (C). Para esto último, el contar con el valor de la densidad de la madera, permite hacer estimaciones más precisas (de la biomasa y de las concentraciones de carbono). Este hecho ha tomado relevancia ante el mercado del secuestro de carbono como medida de conservación de la cobertura vegetal, el pago por servicios ambientales, en particular como estrategia en la mitigación del cambio climático y para los inventarios de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y MRV (monitoreo, reporte y verificación) de proyectos REDD (reducción de emisiones por deforestación y degradación evitada).
