Objective: To understand the degree of sustainability of the sugarcane agroecosystem of the community of Sihochac, Champotón, Campeche, Mexico, through the analy...
La pérdida de la agrobiodiversidad es uno de los problemas socioambientales que se ha acelerado debido a la constante expansión de los cultivos del agronegocio, entre otros factores. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los efectos de la territorialidad del capital a través del agronegocio en la agrobiodiversidad en la Sierra de Santa...
Climate and land management affect nutrient cycling in grassland ecosystems. We aimed to understand whether temperate and tropical grasslands differ in terms of soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) concentrations, and their C:N:P stoichiometric ratios in grazed and ungrazed natural grasslands and pastures. For this, we used a...
In the context of globalization, two major human challenges are global warming and the loss of biological and cultural diversity. Solving the latter problem can help reduce green- house gases, diversify production, and maintain agrobiodiversity. The objective was to pro- pose a design of complex agroecosystems based on indigenous and scientific kno...

Resumen. En el presente ensayo se reflexiona sobre la crisis global por la pandemia del CO-VID-19, posible resultado de la explotación ilimitada de la naturaleza, el modelo de Revolución Verde en la producción de alimentos y la economía de consumo del sistema capitalista neoliberal, que han provocado la disminución de la biodiversidad, la contamina...
The global crisis caused by the COVID-19 virus has exposed many problems, such as the increase in chronic degenerative diseases in the population, which have a direct relationship with the production and consumption of ultra-processed foods and with the contradictions of the agricultural production model, whose main objective is to obtain profits a...
The article presents arguments about why biodiversity should be seen beyond economic budgets or some environmental services, it should also be considered that the native peoples that inhabit protected natural areas use the territory to obtain a set of goods that benefit local, regional and globally, for example, different crops, the capture of carb...
E En opinión del autor, el debate en torno a la nueva di-rección del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (Conacyt) es muestra de un cambio de paradigmas y el inicio de una revolución científica, que deben sen-tar las bases para que la ciencia mexicana permita a la sociedad revalorar la visión campesina e indígena de la producción y de la conse...
Today humanity faces several complex problems, two of which are global warming and the loss of biological diversity. An agroecological matrix approach, conceives the territory as patches of natural and cultivated vegetation, interconnected to maintain watershed integrity. Many ethnic groups maintain a high biological heterogeneity as in the case of...

The coffee agroecosystems were established in three physiognomic units: tropical semi-deciduous forest, tropical rain forest and...
El agua es un recurso estratégico fundamental para la supervivencia de todos los seres vivos, especialmente debido a la escasez originada por el deterioro generalizado de los recursos naturales (Delgado, 2005). Más allá de la perspectiva del agua como tema de seguridad nacional, este recurso define los límites del desarrollo sostenible. La subcuenc...
Asexual propagation in mangrove species is poorly documented and has consisted of individual experiments for vegetative propagation of some species exists without continuity and further investigation by the unsuccessful results. Among 69 species of mangroves only nine have been propagated through asexual reproduction and the results range goes from...

Traditional coffee agroecosystems play an important role in the conservation of natural resources because of their complex vegetation structure. However, the coffee crisis has cause deep changes in these agroecosystems, like their transformation to rangelands, affecting litter production and recirculation of nutrients. The objective of this study w...
La actual sociedad mexicana es fundamentalmente urbana. De acuerdo con el INEGI (2005), poco más de 76% de la población se encuentra en ciudades de diferente tamaño. Tal vez debido a esto, no sólo en México, sino en el mundo, se ha olvidado que somos seres heterótrofos, es decir, para llevar a ca-bo nuestras funciones vitales necesitamos con-sumir...
La biotecnología comprende procesos técnicos aplicados a fenómenos biológicos.
