          Abstract

          Se realizó un estudio en la cima del Cerro Potosí, N.L., acerca de Pinus culminicola Andresen & Beaman, especie endémica del norte de la Sierra Madre Oriental, que hasta 1960 cubría 106 ha, mientras que en 1970 esta superficie había disminuido a 70 ha debido a que el resto fue destruido por el fuego. Mediante el análisis de fotografías aéreas y trabajo de campo se determinó la distribución y la estructura florística de las asociaciones vegetales del área, caracterizándose sus condiciones ambientales. Aunque se detectó que existe cierta regeneración de P. culminicola, ésta es insuficiente para contrarrestar las alteraciones causadas por la actual y creciente presión antrópica; de lo anterior se desprende la necesidad de decretar dicha zona como área protegida, de modo que se garantice su efectiva conservación.

          Translated abstract

          A study was done about Pinus culminicola Andresen & Beaman from the summit of Cerro Potosí, State of Nuevo León, México, an endemic species from the north of the Sierra Madre Oriental, covering in 1960 an area of 106 ha, but only 70 ha in 1970, due to destruction by fire. The distribution and floristic structure of the associations and environmental conditions were studied with aerial photographs and field work. Although there is regeneration of the community of P. culminicola, it is not enough to contrarrest the present and growing human pressure on the area. From that we concluded that it is necessary to declareit a protected area, in order to preserve the plant community.
