Abstract Climate change ( CC ) and sea level rise SLR are phenomena that could have severe impacts on the distribution of coastal dune vegetation. To explore this we modeled climatic niches six dunes plant species grow along shoreline Gulf Mexico Yucatan Peninsula, projected to future potential distributions based two scenarios projections. Our analyses suggest plants will be severely limited, more so in case local endemics Chamaecrista chamaecristoides , Palafoxia lindenii Cakile edentula...
Coastal tourism is expanding worldwide, mostly owing to the attraction relevant ecosystem services such as scenic beauty and recreational activities. The aim of this study was analyze value these, using hedonic analysis by assessing how prices hotel rooms are related view, location, non-ecosystem amenities, size hotels in three touristic areas Veracruz, México. We found that, besides number room increased 8% 57%, depending on ocean view accessibility beach, respectively. These results help...
Climate change is currently considered one of the main phenomena affecting marine species through expansion or contraction their distribution. Being ectothermic organisms, sharks family Carcharhinidae could be highly susceptible to effects climate change. These are great ecological importance, which reflected in role integrity coastal and oceanic ecosystems as top predators that act maintain stability food chain, well providing economic value fishing, consumption, ecotourism. Currently,...
Abstract The real estate business on sandy coasts and coastal dunes has increased dramatically over the last decades because of growing demands for leisure activities which, consequently, have yielded important economic gains. Such ravaging exploitation results in replacement ecosystems with tourism-oriented settlements, infrastructure, facilities. As beaches become deteriorated or eliminated, their protective role is lost, hydrometeorological risks to which increasing human populations are...
Mendoza-González, G.; Luisa Martínez, M., and Lithgow, D., 2014. Biological flora of coastal dunes wetlands: Canavalia rosea (Sw.) DC. The genus includes 60 species, which 37 are found in the Neotropics. One most common members this is rosea. In paper, we present a compilation ecological, physiological, geomorphological biology pantropical beach dune species that will serve as basis for scientists managers interested species. This legume (Fabaceae) perennial trailing vine grows on five...
The ecosystem services (ESs) approach has been used as a powerful tool for the analysis of socio-ecological systems to investigate relationship between society and environment. aim this article is analyze social perceptions stakeholders, forms use (sociocultural economic), conservation beaches coastal dunes in Yucatán, Mexico. Interviews were held with focus groups use, results indicate that these ecosystems are important different types activities related regulating, provisioning, cultural...

Gray. Gray is a short shrub endemic to the located in central region Gulf Mexico, mainly state Veracruz. In this study we assembled information on species described taxonomy variation species, its phylogeny geographical distribution, plant communities, physiological ecology, population biology,...
Las consecuencias del cambio climático sobre los ecosistemas pueden depender de su efecto la distribución especies, que juegan un papel clave en las comunidades. El objetivo este trabajo fue modelar potencial, actual y futura, 5 especies vegetación duna costera península Yucatán. Particularmente, se evaluaron cambios áreas actualmente destinadas a conservación. Se empleó el método máxima entropía usando escenarios RCP 4.5 8.5, respectivamente consideran incremento moderado uno drástico...
The invasion of natural communities by exotic plants, which may turn into invasive or potentially invasive, is one the most severe known threats to biodiversity, and coastal dunes are among affected habitats. Mexico’s abundant contain high plant biodiversity but attempts determine occurrence impact plants absent. First, we explored number species found on Mexican dunes. Second, analyzed if dune flora native from Mexico acts as a source worldwide. We relevant spread towards Mexico, reaching...
Background: Worldwide only 45 bamboo species are considered economically important. Guadua inermis and Otatea acuminata two that important in different areas of Mexico.Question: How climate change is affecting the distribution these where priority should be for conservation refuges.Studied species/ Data description: We consider acuminata, both endemic to Mexico, as potentially economic species. Both used rural communities purposes. inhabit tropical sub-deciduous, deciduous dry oak forests,...
