Objective: To characterize the understory species associated with a pine-oak forest in the Sierra Mariscal region, Chiapas. Design/methodology/approach: Six 40 m 2 subplots were established to evaluate the cover, abundance and identity of shrub, herbaceous and sapling components of the understory. Floristic diversity was determined. The level of di...

Scolitine bark beetles of the genus Tomicus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) include some forestry pests of major importance worldwide, with the capacity for invading new habitats and threatening native forest populations and are considered as exotic species for America. However, Tomicus piniperda L. the common pine shoot beetle has invaded...

The information provided in this work is a scientific look at the state of the art of growing rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) in Mexico, with special emphasis on its production as a main element in a multicultural system and the use of coverage as alternatives agro-ecological After a thorough review of the written information, it was found that t...

Rambutan acreage in the Soconusco, region of Mexico, Chiapas is over 2000 hectares, mostly under monocultural agrosystems based on the high use of external inputs. The experiment was carried out from august 2013 to june 2014 in a four year-old plantation (from planting), located in the Huixtla municipality, Chiapas; with the objective of evaluating...

Biodiversity is one of the fundamental principles of agroecology, and polycultures are generally more efficient than monocultures. This research was carried out with the objective of evaluating the efficiency of land use with short cycle crops intercalated in a rambutan plantation and with it, their socioeconomic contributions. Semester crop planti...
