Contribución de las energías renovables en el desarrollo rural de México

ERIKA ROMAN MONTES DE OCA ALEJANDRO GARCIA FLORES (2023)

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre el uso e impacto de las energías

renovables en el desarrollo rural de México. Se encontró que se han financiado diversos proyectos para incluirlos en actividades de producción agrícola y para alumbrado de comunidades rurales; sin embargo, de acuerdo con el reporte de los objetivos de desarrollo sustentable, aún hay muchos retos que afrontar. Lograr que 100 por ciento de la población rural mexicana cuente con energía propiciaría una mejora en las condiciones de vida.

This paper presents the results of a piece of research on the use and impact of renewable energies in rural development in Mexico. It was found that various projects have been financed to be included in agricultural production activities and for the lighting of rural communities; however, according to the report of the sustainable development goals, there are still many challenges to face. Ensuring that 100% of the Mexican rural population has energy would lead to an improvement in living conditions.

Del bosque a la cocina: los hongos comestibles silvestres

RAUL VALLE MARQUINA ALEJANDRO GARCIA FLORES ARACELI TEGOMA COLOREANO EMIR BASURTO GARCÍA (2024)

La cocina mexicana es reflejo de nuestra historia, costumbres y tradiciones, así como de la biodiversidad y la cultura. En el territorio nacional se encuentra una gran variedad de ingredientes y recursos alimentarios, entre ellos, los hongos silvestres. Muchas comunidades tienen una antigua tradición asociada a su recolección, preparación, consumo y venta. En términos de nutrición, son un alimento de alta calidad y propiedades funcionales para incorporar a la dieta, pero también un importante medio de subsistencia. En este artículo se aborda el aprovechamiento tradicional de hongos comestibles silvestres en el Corredor Biológico Chichinautzin, área natural protegida ubicada al norte del estado de Morelos.

Mexican cuisine is a reflection of our history, customs and traditions, as well as biodiversity and culture. In the national territory there is a wide variety of ingredients and food resources, including wild mushrooms. Many communities have an ancient tradition associated with their collection, preparation, consumption and sale. In terms of nutrition, they are a high-quality food and functional properties to incorporate into the diet, but also an important means of subsistence. This article discusses the traditional use of wild edible mushrooms in the Chichinautzin Biological Corridor, a protected natural area located in the north of the state of Morelos.

Seed integrity, effect of temperature and storage time on germination of Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis, endangered subtropical species from Mexico

César Jacobo Pereira MIGUEL ANGEL MUÑIZ CASTRO JOSE ANTONIO VAZQUEZ GARCIA Joel David Flores Rivas ALEJANDRO MUÑOZ URIAS FRANCISCO MARTIN HUERTA MARTINEZ (2022)

"Background: Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis are endemic species of western Mexico; growing in riparian forests they are critically endangered. The best way to conserve their seeds is unknown, which could be limiting for their conservation.

Hypothesis: The germinability of both subtropical species is like that of boreal and template Salicaceae species that disperse seeds in spring and early summer, as they germinate quickly with high percentages, and rapidly lose their viability when stored at ambient temperature.

Studied species: Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis. Study site and dates: Western Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Jalisco, Mexico. October 2019.

Methods: The physical integrity of the seeds was assessed by X-ray imaging and compared with germinability. In addition, the effect of storage time (nine weeks) under two temperatures (4 and 21 °C) on the percentage and mean germination rate was evaluated.

Results: No significant differences were found between physical integrity and germination in freshly collected seeds for both species. Germination in the first 24 hrs was 91 and 95 % for Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis, respectively (week 0). Germination percentages were lower when stored at 21 °C, but P. primaveralepensis was decreased more slowly.

Conclusions: Seeds of subtropical Populus respond similarly to those of species from temperate and boreal climates with early seed dispersal, a crucial condition for establishing ex situ reforestation and conservation programs."
