          Abstract

          Resumen Antecedentes: Este trabajo analiza el banco de semillas en diferentes sustratos (hojarasca y suelo) para conocer el efecto de la temporalidad y la orientación de la ladera sobre la abundancia y composición del banco y de la vegetación establecida en un bosque templado en la Ciudad de México. Preguntas: ¿Qué factores abióticos determinan la germinación de nuevos individuos de distintos grupos funcionales?, ¿De qué manera esta información contribuye a la planeación de programas de conservación y restauración? Descripción de datos: Este estudio se realizó en 30 parcelas establecidas en el bosque (ladera norte y sur) durante las dos temporadas del año. Sitio de estudio: Bosque templado de Quercus rugosa (L.) en la cuenca del río Magdalena, Cd. de México. Métodos: Mediante una clasificación TWINSPAN se determinaron nueve grupos funcionales de banco de semillas y vegetación establecida. Mediante un análisis de Permutación de Respuesta Múltiple (MRPP) y un Análisis de Correspondencia Canónica (CCA) se determinó el efecto temporal y espacialmente sobre la abundancia y riqueza de los grupos funcionales. Resultados: Se encontró una alta similitud dentro de cada grupo funcional y una alta disimilitud entre ellos. El Análisis de Varianza de Permutación Multivariado (PERMANOVA) mostró un efecto significativo de la temporada y la orientación sobre la identificación de los grupos funcionales. Conclusiones: En términos de conservación la presencia de especies características y nativas implica que hay una alta resiliencia, sin embargo, la presencia de especies introducidas indica cambios en la composición del sistema, lo cual compromete el potencial de la regeneración natural.

          Abstract Background: This research analyzes the seed bank of different substrates (litter and soil) and the standing vegetation to know the effects of the season and slope orientation on their abundance and composition in a temperate forest in Mexico City. Questions and / or Hypotheses: Which abiotic factors determine the germination of new individuals of different functional groups? how this information can contribute in the planning of conservation and restoration programs? Which environmental factors determine germination and the recruiting of individuals? And how this knowledge could be considered in conservation programs? Studied species / data description: This research was carried out in 30 plots established in the forest (North and South slopes) during both year seasons. Study site and dates: Temperate forest of Quercus rugosa (L.) in the Magdalena river Basin, Mexico City. Methods: Through a TWINSPAN classification nine functional groups were determined in the seed bank and the standing vegetation. Through a Multiple Response Permutation Analysis (MRPP) and a Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) the environmental effect was determined, seasonally and spatially on the abundance and richness of the functional groups. Results: A high similarity inside each functional group and a high dissimilarity between them were found. The Multivariate Permutation Variance Analysis (PERMANOVA) showed a significant effect of the season and of the slope orientation on the identification of the functional groups. Conclusions: In terms of conservation the presence of characteristic and native species implies a high resilience, however the presence of introduced species indicates changes in the system composition, which jeopardizes the natural regeneration potential.

              Temperate forest health in an era of emerging megadisturbance.

              Although disturbances such as fire and native insects can contribute to natural dynamics of forest health, exceptional droughts, directly and in combination with other disturbance factors, are pushing some temperate forests beyond thresholds of sustainability. Interactions from increasing temperatures, drought, native insects and pathogens, and uncharacteristically severe wildfire are resulting in forest mortality beyond the levels of 20th-century experience. Additional anthropogenic stressors, such as atmospheric pollution and invasive species, further weaken trees in some regions. Although continuing climate change will likely drive many areas of temperate forest toward large-scale transformations, management actions can help ease transitions and minimize losses of socially valued ecosystem services.
