Germinación de semillas de seis especies de Bursera del centro de MéxicoEste artículo evaluó la influencia de la temperatura y el almacenamiento en la germinación de seis especies de Bursera nativas a México (B. bicolor, B. bipinnata, B. cipallifera, B. fagaroides, B. glabrifolia, B. grandifolia). Encontraron alta proporciones de semillas vanas en tres especies. Había un aumento en la germinación dentro de condiciones con una temperatura fluctuante (32-18 °C) en comparación con las semillas expuestos a una temperatura constante (25 °C).

Reserva Encenillo, Fundacion Natura, ColombiaThis reserve is located in high montane forest of the Colombia Andes, designed to protect the locally important forest tree Weinmanniatomentosa (Encenillo in Spanish). The total size of the reserve is 135 ha of forest, and serves as a forest corridor in a matrix of pasture, potato, and remnant forest landscape. Open access copy available |
Laguna Pedro Palo - Reserva Tenasuca, ColombiaThis project is located in a community reserve outside of Bogota, Colombia, in montane Andean oak forest. Plantings are performed by members of the reserve association, which includes a small NGO and local landowners. 2-3 hectares were planted around a lake in 1998, these plantings were predominantly Andean oak (Quercus humboltii), this forest area reached canopy closure in 2010-2013. Reserve managers believe that this oak buffer area helps to maintain a constant water level of the lake, by recharging a continuous supply of groundwater throughout the year.
