Analysis of the livestock passive forest restoration in the Tamaulipan Thornscrub in northeast Mexico

In Mexico, the terrestrial surface used for cattle breeding, is about 56 % of the national territory. The thornscrub ecosystem has the widest distribution in Mexico and historically had been used for livestock purposes in arid and semiarid regions. To analyze the post-livestock passive restoration i...

Matorral espinoso tamaulipeco densidad abundancia Margalef Shanon. In Mexico, the terrestrial surface used for cattle breeding, is about 56 % of the national territory. The thornscrub ecosystem has the widest distribution in Mexico and historically had been used for livestock purposes in arid and semiarid regions. To analyze the post-livestock passive restoration in Tamaulipan thornscrub of northeast Mexico there were established four sampling sites of 40 m x 40 m (1600 m2). All trees and shrubs ≥ 3 cm in diameter at 10 cm were measured. We used ecological indicators of abundance, dominance, frequency, importance value index, Margalef index and index of Shannon & Wiener. There were two dominant species (Vachellia farnesiana and Prosopis glandulosa) with 74 % of absolute dominance, while the remaining 26 % is divided among the remaining 10 species. There was an absolute abundance of 3050 individuals, where Vachellia farnesiana represents 60% of the total. According to the diameter distribution, we observed that all individuals of Vachellia farnesiana, 57 % (168 individuals) were in the range of 0 to 10 cm in diameter, which indicates an active regeneration of the ecosystem. La superficie con actividad ganadera en México es alrededor de 56 % del territorio nacional. El matorral es el ecosistema más distribuido e históricamente más utilizado para fines pecuarios en las zonas áridas y semiáridas de México. Para analizar la restauración pasiva postpecuaria en el matorral espinoso tamaulipeco del noreste de México se establecieron cuatro sitios de muestreo de 40 m x 40 m (1600 m2). En los sitios de muestreo se midieron todos los árboles y arbustos ≥3 cm de diámetro a 10 cm. Se utilizaron los indicadores ecológicos de abundancia, dominancia, frecuencia, índice de valor de importancia, índice de Margalef e índice de Shannon & Wiener. Se registraron dos especies dominantes (Vachellia farnesiana y Prosopis glandulosa) con el 74 % de la dominancia absoluta, mientras el 26% está dividido entre las 10 especies restantes. Se registró una abundancia absoluta de 3050 individuos, donde Vachellia farnesiana representa el 60 % del total. De acuerdo a la distribución diamétrica, se observó que de todos los individuos de Vachellia farnesiana, el 57 % (168 individuos) se encuentran en el rango de 0 cm a 10 cm de diámetro, lo cual indica que se está regenerado activamente.
