Abstract Urban expansion has emerged as a pervasive driver of biodiversity loss in Mexican cities due to shifts landscape composition and configuration. Hence, the preservation forest cover, green spaces isolated trees assume critical role conserving within urban areas. We compared mammal assemblages across 520 sites Mexico City examining impact local vegetation site characteristics (e.g., patch size, isolation distance) on diversity patterns. Then, we used generalized linear model evaluate...
Fragmented landscapes in Mexico, characterized by a mix of agricultural, urban, and native vegetation cover, presents unique ecological characteristics that shape the mosquito community composition mosquito-borne diseases. The extent to which landscape influences populations diseases is still poorly understood. This work assessed effect metrics -agriculture, cover- on diversity arbovirus presence fragmented tropical deciduous forests Central Mexico during 2021. Among 21 species across six...
La Reserva de la Biosfera Los Tuxtlas (RBLT) alberga los últimos remanentes bosque tropical perennifolio (BTP) y mesófilo montaña (BMM) en llanura costera del golfo México. Sin embargo, las últimas décadas ha perdido ~ 60% su cobertura forestal. información precisa detallada sobre dinámica cambio uso suelo es fundamental para implementar planes manejo/conservación pertinentes a situación actual futura una región. El objetivo trabajo fue determinar reciente cambios espacio-temporales vegetal,...
Resource allocation in climate-smart productive practices depends on the explicit recognition and accountability of expected costs benefits socioeconomic ecological terms. This study assessed private social 10 compatible with transition to sustainable agricultural under an integrated landscape management (ILM) approach. First, financial economic viability alternatives was evaluated a cost-benefit analysis. Then, potential contribution these terms carbon sequestration connectivity determined...
Nature-based tourism offers several positive effects, including bringing tourists closer to nature and increasing environmental awareness among them, creating new sources of employment, diversifying local regional economies, promoting the conservation ecosystems, protecting biodiversity. A pilot exercise based on choice experiments is presented estimate monetary value per year nature-based (NbT). The was applied in Jamapa watershed Mexico, results showed that NbT would amount USD 7.7...
Land-use change is one of the main drivers biodiversity loss worldwide, but its negative effects can vary depending on spatial scale analyzed. Considering continuous expansion agricultural demand for land, it urgent to identify that shape biological communities in order balance production and conservation human-modified landscapes. We used a patch-landscape design multimodel inference approach assess landscape composition configuration at two scales (patch landscape) structure dung beetle...
Climate-smart practices are actions that can be implemented without affecting agricultural activities and promote these activities, generating direct indirect benefits in ecosystem services provision increasing productivity private income. The present study evaluated the effect of three climate-smart (establishment isolated trees, recovery riparian vegetation, implementation live fences) on increased functional landscape connectivity carbon storage. Three scenarios with rates participation...
Neotropical forested landscapes have become agricultural areas and human settlements, causing forest fragmentation, land degradation, habitat loss. Nonetheless, complex tree cover loss recovery processes may occur even while urban expand. Biophysical, social, political, economic drivers influence or over time. This study analyzes land-use change dynamics in peri-urban the western sector of Xalapa City between 1966–2018 identifies primary that played a significant role deforestation...
Cliff-dwelling plant species are highly specialized and adapted to a vulnerable, fragmented, mostly endemic, narrowly-distributed threatened. As contribution the conservation efforts of endemic cliff-dwelling species, this study provides an overview effects habitat loss on abundance distribution Pachyphytum caesium (Crassulaceae) due human disturbances. To achieve objective, we first conducted retrospective analysis from 2003–2013 assess land use change P. caesium. Secondly, estimate...
Summary Payments for ecosystem services (PES) programmes have been considered an important conservation mechanism to avoid deforestation. These environmental policies act in social and ecological contexts at different spatial scales. We evaluated the social-ecological fit between stakeholders processes a local PES programme across three levels: social, social-ecological. explored collaboration among stakeholders, assessed connectivity forest units activity links units. In addition, increase...
