Comparisons of the Root Mechanical Properties of three Native Mexican Tree Species for Soil Bioengineering Practices

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2017
Background: Urbanized slope areas in Sierra Madre Oriental are prone to sediment related disasters mainly caused by heavy rainfall episodes during hurricane season, knowledge on the factors on soil-roots dynamics are required to mitigate or lessen those ...

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Phylogenetic analysis and the recognition of a new genus for Mexican Crassulaceae segregated from Echeveria

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Systematic knowledge of the Mexican Crassulaceae is slowly progressing as data from new DNA regions and species sampling efforts increase. We compiled and generated new rbcL, matK, rps16, ITS/ITS2, and ETS DNA sequences and performed an updated phylogenetic reconstruction for a group of 131 Mexican Crassulaceae terminals from 11 of the 13 ...

A Characterisation of Extreme‐Heat Occurrence and Its Trends in Mexico Based on a High Resolution Dataset

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 3, 15 March 2026.
As Mexico faces rising temperatures and increasing events of extreme heat, improvements in the analysis and characterisation of these phenomena are necessary, as they offer new insights into the spatial variability of such trends and their underlying causes.

Moisture Sources and Synoptic‐Scale Controls on Wet Season Event Rainfall in Mexico City: Evidence From Stable Isotopes

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Precipitation stable isotopes, combined with backward air mass trajectories and synoptic meteorology analyses, revealed that rainfall in Mexico City is primarily originated from the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and continental regions, modulated by troughs and tropical waves. Event‐scale rainfall showed strong variability in isotope compositions, with

Diversity and Distribution of Soil Fungi in Neotropical Mexican Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Soil fungal diversity across the Mexican Neotropics remains poorly characterized despite its ecological importance. Using the Global Soil Mycobiome dataset from 55 sites, we identified eight distinct fungal community groups structured primarily by vegetation type and climatic gradients.
