El presente trabajo hace un recuento y analiza la cartografía de la Ciudad de México desde principios del siglo XVI hasta el siglo XVII. Estas cartografías y su análisis fueron extremadamente útiles para consolidar el análisis urbanístico de la Ciudad de México como una metodología complementaria de los estudios históricos. Los análisis cartográficos presentados aquí pusieron en evidencia un vacío histórico comprendido dentro del periodo Paleohispánico (Tirado, 2019: 280), el cual va de 1521, año en que se dio la conquista de la ciudad de México-Tenochtitlan a manos de los conquistadores castellanos, y 1535, año en el cual llega el primer virrey, Antonio de Mendoza.

Do provisioning ecosystem services change along gradients of increasing agricultural production?

Ronju Ahammad Stephanie Tomscha Sarah Gergel Frédéric Baudron Jean-Yves Duriaux Chavarría Samson Foli Dominic Rowland Josh Van Vianen Terence Sunderland (2024, [Artículo])

Context: Increasing agricultural production shapes the flow of ecosystem services (ES), including provisioning services that support the livelihoods and nutrition of people in tropical developing countries. Although our broad understanding of the social-ecological consequences of agricultural intensification is growing, how it impacts provisioning ES is still unknown. Objectives: We examined the household use of provisioning ES across a gradient of increasing agricultural production in seven tropical countries (Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nicaragua and Zambia). We answered two overarching questions: (1) does the use of provisioning ES differ along gradients of agriculture production ranging from zones of subsistence to moderate and to high agriculture production? and (2) are there synergies and/or trade-offs within and among groups of ES within these zones? Methods: Using structured surveys, we asked 1900 households about their assets, livestock, crops, and collection of forest products. These questions allowed us to assess the number of provisioning ES households used, and whether the ES used are functionally substitutable (i.e., used similarly for nutrition, material, and energy). Finally, we explored synergies and trade-offs among household use of provisioning ES. Results: As agricultural production increased, provisioning ES declined both in total number and in different functional groups used. We found more severe decreases in ES for relatively poorer households. Within the functional groups of ES, synergistic relationships were more often found than trade-offs in all zones, including significant synergies among livestock products (dairy, eggs, meat) and fruits. Conclusions: Considering landscape context provides opportunities to enhance synergies among provisioning services for households, supporting resilient food systems and human well-being.

Review of Nationally Determined Contributions (NCD) of Kenya from the perspective of food systems

Tek Sapkota (2023, [Documento de trabajo])

Agriculture is one of the fundamental pillars of the 2022–2027 Bottom-up Economic Transformation Plan of the Government of Kenya for tackling complex domestic and global challenges. Kenya's food system is crucial for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Kenya has prioritized aspects of agriculture, food, and land use as critical sectors for reducing emissions towards achieving Vision 2030's transformation to a low-carbon, climate-resilient development pathway. Kenya's updated NDC, as well as supporting mitigation and adaptation technical analysis reports and other policy documents, has identified an ambitious set of agroecological transformative measures to promote climate-smart agriculture, regenerative approaches, and nature-positive solutions. Kenya is committed to implementing and updating its National Climate Change Action Plans (NCCAPs) to present and achieve the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets and resilience outcomes that it has identified.

Habitability conditions for floods: the case of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico

MARCELINO GARCIA BENITEZ Saul Nucamendi Hernandez Omar Ávila Flores (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

At present, there are changes in the environment that favor the presence of extreme climatic phenomena such as floods, this exposure implies that the populations of urban areas suffer effects on their material assets, which limits their capacity for individual and / or family development. Given the lack of local territorial planning, the establishment of colonies was allowed on the banks of the Sabinal river and its tributaries that present episodes of flooding during the rainy season (Sistema Municipal de Protección Civil, 2015).

 

The study evaluates the habitability conditions of the urban population exposed to flooding, the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas is taken as a reference, since historically it is a recurring problem during the summer. The methodology interrelates geostatistical, spatial and cartographic databases with hemerographic information sources based on the review of the literature for the construction of the general index, determined in dimensions that group social, economic, educational aspects, availability of basic services, goods with those that count the dwellings and their accessibility, etc., on a geographical scale of Urban Geostatistical Areas (AGEB).

 

The results obtained generated an index on the distribution of habitability conditions by urban Ageb, they are interrelated with spatial data on floods and their relationship with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (ODS), which proposes to improve infrastructure conditions in cities and towns. sustainable communities so that the inequality originated among the population exposed to future extreme flood events that occur in the different areas that make up the city is reduced.

Influence of conservation agriculture-based production systems on bacterial diversity and soil quality in rice-wheat-greengram cropping system in eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Anup Das virender kumar Peter Craufurd Andrew Mcdonald Sonam Sherpa (2023, [Artículo])

Introduction: Conservation agriculture (CA) is gaining attention in the South Asia as an environmentally benign and sustainable food production system. The knowledge of the soil bacterial community composition along with other soil properties is essential for evaluating the CA-based management practices for achieving the soil environment sustainability and climate resilience in the rice-wheat-greengram system. The long-term effects of CA-based tillage-cum-crop establishment (TCE) methods on earthworm population, soil parameters as well as microbial diversity have not been well studied. Methods: Seven treatments (or scenarios) were laid down with the various tillage (wet, dry, or zero-tillage), establishment method (direct-or drill-seeding or transplantation) and residue management practices (mixed with the soil or kept on the soil surface). The soil samples were collected after 7 years of experimentation and analyzed for the soil quality and bacterial diversity to examine the effect of tillage-cum-crop establishment methods. Results and Discussion: Earthworm population (3.6 times), soil organic carbon (11.94%), macro (NPK) (14.50–23.57%) and micronutrients (Mn, and Cu) (13.25 and 29.57%) contents were appreciably higher under CA-based TCE methods than tillage-intensive farming practices. Significantly higher number of OTUs (1,192 ± 50) and Chao1 (1415.65 ± 14.34) values were observed in partial CA-based production system (p ≤ 0.05). Forty-two (42) bacterial phyla were identified across the scenarios, and Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes were the most dominant in all the scenarios. The CA-based scenarios harbor a high abundance of Proteobacteria (2–13%), whereas the conventional tillage-based scenarios were dominated by the bacterial phyla Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi and found statistically differed among the scenarios (p ≤ 0.05). Composition of the major phyla, i.e., Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes were associated differently with either CA or farmers-based tillage management practices. Overall, the present study indicates the importance of CA-based tillage-cum-crop establishment methods in shaping the bacterial diversity, earthworms population, soil organic carbon, and plant nutrient availability, which are crucial for sustainable agricultural production and resilience in agro-ecosystem.

Imaginarios urbanos en las áreas metropolitanas actuales: el caso de Texcoco de Mora, ubicado en la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México (ZMVM)

MANUEL LÓPEZ PLIEGO (2023, [Artículo])

Artículo número 2 de la sección Artículos de Investigación.

El presente artículo parte de la teoría de los imaginarios urbanos y su aplicación al caso particular de Texcoco de Mora. La teoría de los imaginarios nurbanos ayuda a visibilizar las formas diferenciadas de vivir y experimentar la ciudad por parte de diversos sectores de la ciudadanía, así como a reflexionar sobre la dimensión política que estos adquieren a nivel urbano, y que se manifiestan en conflictos concretos, tanto en casos coyunturales como en situaciones cotidianas. Desde esta perspectiva, el principal alcance de este artículo es desarrollar un marco teórico-metodológico para el análisis de los imaginarios urbanos, que enfatice el carácter diverso y conflictivo inherente a las ciudades actuales. Lo anterior se ejemplifica brevemente con un conflicto territorial concreto: la cancelación del Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México (NAICM) y su sustitución por la construcción del Parque Ecológico de Texcoco.

The present article starts from the theory of urban imaginaries and its application to the particular case of Texcoco de Mora. The theory of urban imaginaries helps to make visible the different ways of living and experiencing the city on the part of different sectors of the city, as well as to reflect on the political dimension that these acquire at the urban level, and that are manifested in concrete conflicts, both in communal cases and in everyday situations. From this perspective, the main scope of this article is to develop a theoretical framework for the case of urban imaginaries, which emphasizes the diverse and conflictive nature inherent in today’s cities. This is briefly exemplified by a specific territorial conflict: the cancellation of what was going to be the New Mexico City International Airport (NAICM) and its replacement by the construction

of the Texcoco Ecological Park.

Cuando los árboles se estresan, ayudan menos

Gerardo Alfonso Carrillo Niquete AARÓN RENÉ CASANOVA DOMÍNGUEZ ROBERTH ARMANDO US SANTAMARIA (2022, [Artículo])

El arbolado de la ciudad puede mejorar el ambiente, la sensación térmica y ser el hogar para muchas especies. Pero, la vida de los árboles en la ciudad puede ser muy estresante, ya que se enfrentan a temperaturas elevadas y una baja humedad del suelo por efecto de la pavimentación. La ecofisiología vegetal puede ser utilizada para estudiar cómo los árboles urbanos funcionan, qué beneficios nos proveen y cómo la urbanización afecta la calidad de estos. Además de la temperatura y la humedad, la radiación es otro factor que afecta los procesos de los árboles, y juntos determinan su capacidad para mejorar el ambiente.
