Se describe la estructura, composición, diversidad, relaciones ambientales y conservación de un bosque mesófilo con Acer saccharum subsp. skutchii (arce azucarero) recientemente encontrado en el municipio de Coahuayutla de José María Izazaga, Guerrero. Se registraron los individuos leñosos con ≥1 cm dap en parcelas circulares de 10 m de radio, y la altura de plántulas y plantas juveniles del arce azucarero en parcelas de 5.6 m de radio. Para cada especie se obtuvo su valor de importancia. Se utilizó la técnica de ordenación Escalar Multidimensional No-métrica (NMDS) para explorar sus correlaciones con variables edafológicas, coordenadas geográficas, de elevación y apertura de claros. Se registraron 43 especies de plantas leñosas en una superficie de 0.126 ha. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Asteraceae y Fagaceae. La distribución diamétrica de las plantas leñosas mostró una forma de “J” invertida, indicando regeneración exitosa. El arce azucarero fue codominante en el dosel con Carpinus caroliniana y Quercus uxoris. Tanto en la población de Guerrero, como en las otras cinco localidades donde habita el árbol en México y Guatemala, la mayoría de las correlaciones encontradas entre la presencia y ausencia de árboles, incluyendo Acer saccharum subsp. skutchii, y los factores ambientales se refirieron a las características de suelo. De las especies registradas en el estudio, 30% están incluidas en alguna categoría de riesgo. El régimen de incendios en la zona pone en peligro la persistencia de este árbol en el sitio de estudio.

Studies have reported divergent results on the effect of soil fertility and canopy opening on understory density and growth of sugar maple (AS; Acer saccharum Marsh.) and American beech (FG; Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.). The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a gradient of canopy opening and soil fertility on the density and growth of AS and FG saplings in southwestern Quebec, Canada. We investigated 56 stands containing both AS and FG that were subjected to different disturbance history types (DHTs) (UF, unmanaged forest; PC, partial cut; and CC, clearcut) on various soil types. AS and FG absolute and relative sapling density varied greatly among the 56 stands; however, no significant effects of DHT, soil nutrient availability, or their interaction were found. Both species responded positively in terms of radial growth to canopy openings, with FG growth being slightly better than AS growth in PC stands compared with other canopy treatments. Contrary to our hypothesis, AS did not show significantly higher growth than FG following clear-cutting. These results do not support the idea that AS abundance and growth could be promoted by increasing the intensity of the canopy opening during harvest, at least on the generally acidic and base-poor soils that were investigated.

Resistance Rates

Net photosynthesis and transpiration rates of single leaves of Quercus velutina Lam., Q. macrocarpa Michx. var. olivaeformis, and Acer saccharum Marsh. were measured at light intensities of 0.03 to 0.24 cal cm−2 min−1 (400–700 mμ). Resistance to water vapor and carbon dioxide transfer were calculated. Net photosynthesis of the Quercus species was not light saturated until light intensity was increased sufficiently to induce complete stomatal opening, indicating possible limitation of CO2 uptake at low light intensities by high CO2 transfer resistance. Rates of light-saturated net photosynthesis of all three species were highly correlated with CO2 transfer resistance.
