Pinus cembroides s. l. y Pinus johannis del Altiplano Mexicano: Una síntesis

Abstract

Summary: A comparative analysis of the biology of the mexican pinyon pines Pinus cembroides Zucc. and Pinus Johannis M.-F. Robert in the Mexican Plateau is carried out. Similarities and differences in geographical and ecological distribution as a result of moisture limitations, mating systems, biotic interactions and chemistry of the oleoresins are emphasized, as well as other aspects which should deserve consideration to enhance the understanding of these taxa. © 1996, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
