The importance of weeds in ethnopharmacology.
TL;DR: Data is presented showing the significant representation of weeds in the medicinal floras of the Highland Maya in Chiapas, Mexico and in the Medicinal flora of Native North Americans as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic disturbance and tree diversity in Montane Rain Forests in Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: The influence of anthropogenic disturbance on forest structure and composition in the highly populated Montane Rain Forests of northern Chiapas, Mexico was studied, with a high number of understory trees species in QPF, and an impoverished composition in PF.

Patricia Dávila,Marîa del Coro Arizmendi,Alfonso Valiente-Banuet,José Luis Villaseñor,Alejandro Casas,Rafael Lira +5 more
TL;DR: A general overview of the biological knowledge of the floristic province of the Tehuacan-Cuicatlan Valley in central-southern Mexico is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land use and deforestation in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: Deforestation rates and land-use changes related to environmental factors (slope angle and soil type), in addition to some local population and economic attributes, were estimated from Landsat MSS satellite images of two municipalities of different sizes and for a greater portion of the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns in species richness and distribution of vascular epiphytes in Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: Assessment of regional patterns in the distribution and species richness of vascular epiphytes with an emphasis on forests that differ in altitude and the amount of rainfall in Chiapas confirmed the presumed presence of a belt of high diversity at mid-elevations in neotropical mountains.

Diversity of bird feeding guilds in relation to habitat heterogeneity and land-use cover in a human-modified landscape in southern Mexico
TL;DR: The importance of small landscape fragments as potential key refuges for the most diverse and specialized feeding guilds, such as granivores and insectivores, in a fragmented landscape in southern Mexico is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sapling survival and growth of coniferous and broad‐leaved trees in successional highland habitats in Mexico
Pedro F. Quintana-Ascencio,Neptalí Ramírez-Marcial,Mario González-Espinosa,Miguel Martínez-Icó +3 more
TL;DR: Information on the response of these kind of species in contrasting habitats may help to incorporate them in the management of high-diversity forests that may follow pine plantations, and suggest habitat preferences of the studied species should be considered for their conservation oriented management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Germination and Establishment of Tillandsia eizii (Bromeliaceae) in the Canopy of an Oak Forest in Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: To repopulate trees, the effectiveness of repopulating the inner canopy and middle canopy of oak trees with seeds and seedlings of the epiphytic bromeliad Tillandsia eizii is assessed and recommends transplanting laboratory-grown seedlings, as large as practically possible, to branches in the middle canopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon emissions from land-use change: an analysis of causal factors in Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the correlation between deforestation, carbon dioxide emissions and potential causal factors of land-use change within an area of 2.7 million hectares in Chiapas, southern Mexico between 1975 and 1996.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liana diversity and reproductive attributes in two tropical forests in Mexico
TL;DR: It is suggested that flower morphology and dispersal type are not related with the amount of rainfall and lianas are more prone to be wind-dispersed.
