The Oxalate-Carbonate Pathway (OCP) is a biogeochemical process that transfers atmospheric CO2 into the geologic reservoir as CaCO3; however, until now all investigations on this have focused species with limited food benefits. This study evaluates potential OCP associated Brosimum alicastrum, Neotropical agroforestry (ca. 70–200 kg-nuts yr−1), in calcareous soils of Haiti and Mexico. Enzymatic analysis demonstrated significant concentrations calcium oxalate (5.97 % D.W.) were B. alicastrum...
Northern Yucatán is a dry tropical area where limestone karst terrain supports subdeciduous forest that critical for sustaining the local economy of Mayan people. The 5‐ to 10‐m‐deep vadose zone characterized by shallow soils (<30 cm thick) with frequent rock outcrops overlying bedrock, which contains aquifer. This has two important characteristics: (i) lithologic properties change depth and (ii) numerous dissolution cavities ranging from small pores caves, some them filled soil (soil...
El karst del estado de Yucatán, México, tiene su origen en los arrecifes coralinos y sedimentos marinos que, al exponerse a la superficie, formaron roca caliza. Los procesos solubilización-precipitación esta han promovido ausencia corrientes agua superficiales, un relieve ligeramente ondulado con planicies, depresiones montículos, afloramientos presencia cenotes. diferentes grados porosidad dureza permitido formación desde pequeñas oquedades acumulaciones suelo, hasta complejos sistemas...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil health. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been shown to increase SOC and respond content, which in turn, directly related land use. We investigated the relationships between use Glomeromycotina AMF spore abundance two functional guilds, rhizophilic (having high root internal hyphal length) edaphophilic (with external content agroforestry systems (AS) seasonal forest (SF) Tzucacab, Yucatan, Mexico. Our results indicate greater values...
Plant species, regional conditions and management practices haveeffects on plant nutrient uptake; however, its study is complex as their effects occur all at the same time. This compares foliar contents of Brosimum alicastrum (evergreen), Cordia dodecandra (deciduous), Spondias purpurea (deciduous) tree individuals growing in homegardens forest two climate regions. 20 per species associated soils were sampled. Soil pH, electrical conductivity, sand, silt, clay percentages, well edaphic C, N,...
This work aimed to evaluate domestication effects on the genetic structure of two dioecious species Brosimum alicastrum Sw. (Moraceae) and Spondias purpurea L. (Anacardiaceae), a heterostylous one Cordia dodecandra A. DC. (Cordiaceae), growing in remnant forests homegardens within climatic regions Peninsula Yucatan. The trees B. C. are propagated by seeds both population types, while those S. asexually homegardens. ISSRs markers were amplified from foliar tissue 18 21 plants per type/region...
An assessment of the extinction risk endemic plants from Yucatán Peninsula Biotic Province (YPBP) was performed based on distributional data (B criteria IUCN) using GeoCAT tool. The YPBP is located in southeastern Mexico and comprises Mexican states Campeche, Quintana Roo, Yucatán, northernmost portion Belize (districts Belize, Corozal, Orange Walk), as well a northern Guatemala (most department Petén). analysis flora identified 167 taxa, 154 which grow at least one three (Campeche, and/or...
Abstract The mutualistic relationship between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is essential for optimal plant nutrition, enabling to better withstand biotic abiotic stressors enhancing survival, reproduction, colonization of new environments. Activities, such as soil enrichment or compaction, may decrease the benefits AM plants, potentially reducing interactions in urban Here, we examine this prediction by studying how urbanization alters with invasive herb Ruellia nudiflora...
