Agrosilviculturas tradicionales que mantienen la diversidad vegetal nativa del Valle de Tehuacán-Cuicatlán: un panorama regional

Traditional agroforestry systems (AFS) in the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley, Mexico, can preserve 68% of native perennial plant species and 34% of individuals found in surrounding wild vegetation. A redundancy analysis and generalized linear models revealed that while AFS maintain similar species composition and diversity to wild vegetation across most forest types, thorn forests showed a notable reduction in species richness and altered composition. Despite lower individual abundance in AFS, these systems emerge as a viable strategy for biodiversity conservation, underscoring the need for fair valuation and promotion of peasant agroecological management practices in regional conservation policies.
