| description | Landscape spatial analyses using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has been scarcely used to indentify sites with dendrochronological potential. For this study, we designed a protocol to identify areas with climatically sensitive trees, based on the spatial analysis of landscape biophysical features. The protocol included the analyses of slope angles, slope aspect, and the distribution of Land Cover and Land Use (LCLU) using RS and GIS tools. The protocol was validated through dendrochronological sampling in two adjacent sites. Analyses of tree ring widths were done using COFECHA and dplR. Results suggest that sensitive trees grow in 18% of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. Trees from the two sites differed in age, diameter, and mean ring width. Our protocol allowed us to identify sites with long-lived and sensitive trees as represented by the high inter-annual variation found in tree ring widths. The spatial analysis of biophysical variables prior to sampling enables the identification of sites with sensitive trees implying the elimination of less samples. Our proposed protocol is efficient and can be used in other areas. |

El análisis espacial del paisaje, con técnicas de Percepción Remota (PR) y herramientas de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG), es un procedimiento poco usado en la identificación de sitios potencialmente idóneos para el muestreo dendrocronológico. En el presente trabajo se diseñó un protocolo para identificar áreas con árboles climáticamente sensibles, empleando un análisis espacial de variables biofísicas. El diseño consistió en el análisis de la pendiente del terreno, la orientación de laderas y la distribución de Cobertura Vegetal y Uso de Suelo (CVUS), mediante el uso de técnicas de PR y herramientas de SIG. El protocolo se validó mediante un muestreo dendrocronológico en dos sitios adyacentes. Los análisis estadísticos del ancho de anillos de crecimiento se realizaron mediante los programas COFECHA y dplR. Los resultados indicaron que 18% de la Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca presenta características aptas para colectar muestras dendrocronológicas sensibles a variación climática. Los análisis estadísticos indican que existen diferencias entre los dos sitios en edad de árboles, diámetro y ancho de los anillos. La propuesta del diseño de muestreo permitió ubicar sitios con árboles longevos y sensibles, lo que se traduce en alta variación interanual en el ancho de anillos. El análisis espacial de variables biofísicas previas al muestreo dendrocronológico, contribuye a la identificación de sitios con árboles sensibles y a eliminar menos muestras. El protocolo propuesto es eficiente y puede ser replicable en otras áreas.
