Among the set of phenological traits featuring mangrove ecosystems, litterfall production stands out with marked intra-annual and longer-term variation. Furthermore, mangrove forests resilience is one of the most important ecological attribute, reconciling the juxtaposed terrestrial and marine environment such transitional systems occupy. However,...
The North Atlantic Basin (NAB) has seen an increase in the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones since the 1980s, with record-breaking seasons in 2017 and 2020. However, little is known about how coastal ecosystems, particularly mangroves in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, respond to these new "climate normals" at regional and subregio...
Mangroves are unique coastal ecosystems, which have many important ecological functions, as they are a reservoir of many marine species well adapted to saline conditions and are fundamental as sites of carbon storage. Although the microbial contribution to nutrient cycling in these ecosystems has been well recognized, there is a lack of information...

RESUMEN El carbono orgánico de los suelos (COS) es uno de los almacenes más importantes de los ecosistemas terrestres, por lo que la estimación de este almacén y sus flujos (dinámica) en México permite la generación de escenarios de intervención para analizar el impacto de políticas públicas, además de dar soporte a la implementación de mercados de...
Ecosystem restoration is becoming an urgent global priority to recover degraded areas, especially in tropical regions. Social participation is fundamental for the success of restoration processes, but it needs to be better documented. This article describes a participatory mangrove restoration process developed with two local communities inhabiting...
En los manglares, como en otros ecosistemas arbóreos, es importante evaluar los almacenes y flujos de carbono orgánico por la contribuciónque pueden tener para mitigar los efectos de las emisiones atmosféricas de CO2. En este estudio se evaluó la relación entre la salinidad,como controlador hidrológico, y los almacenes y flujos de carbono en mangla...
Terminos Lagoon is the largest coastal lagoon in the southern Gulf of Mexico and is a highly biodiverse and productive system that supports important seagrasses. These key habitats are under significant stress due to anthropic activities around and inside the lagoon. Considering the lack of updated information about their distribution, cover, and e...
Los petenes son ecosistemas que se presentan en México, en la Península de Yucatán y que asemejan islas de vegetación, rodeadas de zonas inundables y que presentan un ojo de agua en el centro. En este triptico se presentan algunos de los servicios ecosistémicos que estos ambientes nos prestan.
El objetivo de este manual es proporcionar una metodología para cuantificar y monitorear el almacén y captura de carbono y gases de efecto invernadero en manglares en proceso de restauración durante las primeras fases de establecimiento y crecimiento del manglar. Durante estas etapas se presenta alta heterogeneidad espacial y temporal en cuanto al...
Los sistemas arrecifales son ecosistemas invaluables y de gran belleza que aportan grandes beneficios a las comunidades costeras cercanas a ellos, no obstante también son ecosistemas muy vulnerables y susceptibles a numerosas actividades humanas que los ponen en riesgo. La pérdida de la mayor parte de los arrecifes se deben al desarrollo costero qu...
Las dunas son ecosistemas costeros comunes en los litorales de México ya que existen más de 800 mil hectáreas distribuidas en el litoral de 17 estados. Sin embargo, a pesar de su extensión y presencia en todos los estados costeros, estos ecosistemas han sido poco estudiados y valorados en México. Prueba de ello es que cerca del 50% de las dunas cos...
Los pastos marinos son ecosistemas que brindan alimento y refugio a diversas especies marinas de importancia ecológica y comercial, entre ellas tortugas, peces, pulpos, caracoles, etc. Muchas de estas especies comienzan sus primeras fases de desarrollo en estos ambientes. Sin embargo, es poca la importancia que se le da a estos ecosistemas marino-c...
En México las actividades humanas tales como la destrucción del hábitat, contaminación, sobrexplotación de recursos, falta de planificación del desarrollo urbano, industrial, turístico, desarrollo agrícola, ganadero y acuícola, han reducido la cobertura de los ecosistemas de manglar. La magnitud y cobertura de los impactos están relacionados con la...
Mexico has more than 750,000 ha of mangroves and more than 400,000 ha of seagrasses. However, approximately 200,000 ha of mangroves and an unknown area of seagrass have been lost due to coastal development associated with urban, industrial and tourist purposes. In 2018, the approved reforms to the General Law on Climate Change (LGCC) aligned the Me...

El objetivo de esta Guía es orientar y fortalecer las capacidades locales de todo aquel interesado en recuperar áreas de manglar. Con esta guía se pretende apoyar el desarrollo de propuestas, planear, ejecutar y dar seguimiento a programas de restauración de manglares, y se expone, más allá de metodologías específicas, una estrategia que incluye pr...
INTRODUCCIÓN A lo largo de casi un tercio de los 10 000 km de longitud que conforman la banda litoral de México se contabilizan aproximadamente 164 cuerpos de agua costeros (De la Lanza-Espino et al., 2013). Abonando a la generalidad, más que a las particularidades morfológicas y geológicas que estos cuerpos de agua costeros pudieran albergar, se d...
The construction of roads, shelter ports and artificial mouths has altered the balance between freshwater and saltwater intakes, flow, tidal levels and water quality. This is reflected in the deterioration and death of the mangrove. Restoration, rehabilitation and reforestation methods have been carried out, but their success has not been determine...
RESUMEN Las praderas de pastos marinos son uno de los ecosistemas acuáticos con los mayores almacenes de carbono, particularmente en sus estructuras subterráneas, por lo que el conocimiento de su distribución espacial en México es una tarea importante, dado lo escaso de trabajos publicados con relación a este tópico.

For at least twenty years, Mexico lives a constant insecurity crisis which is expressed through the increase of criminal rate and levels of violence. The federal government, to face these serious social problems, has strengthened the punitive institutions of the State and particularly, the police apparatus. Nevertheless, in spite of the enormous in...
Root production influences a range of belowground processes, such as soil accretion, carbon sequestration and nutrient acquisition. Here, we measured biomass and root production of mangroves surrounding a karstic oligotrophic lagoon that spans a nutrient and salinity gradient. We also measured forest structure and soil physicochemical conditions (s...
An area of mangrove on the coast of Yucatan (Mexico) was used as biofilter for the discharge of effluents from a shrimp farm intensive cultivation during 5 years. In order to assess the functional capacity of mangroves to reduce nutrient loading and suspended matter in the effluent, water quality variable as NO2-+NO3- , NH4+, PO4-3, total suspended...

Tropical storms can shape the structure and productivity of mangrove forests. In this study, we compared current litterfall with historical tropical storm disturbance in the karstic Yucatan Peninsula (YP). We also explored the relationship between litterfall and the fresh/seawater mixture of floodwater. Our hypotheses were that litterfall peaks at...
Mangrove loss in Mexico led to the development of different recovery programs focused on building and maintaining greenhouses, reforestation, and the construction of drainage systems along coastal roads to reestablish surface water fows. However, these recovery strategies have not been as successful as expected because they were not based on an eva...
