The temperate mountain range in southern Mexico consists of a mosaic of steep slopes with vegetation such as pine-oak forests, oak forests, and cloud forests, where Indigenous and mestizo populations have settled in both the Western and Eastern Mother Sierras, from north to south (Photo 1). The soils, consisting of acrisols, lithosols, cambisols, and regosols, present a high risk of erosion (Photo 2) and sustain a multitude of communities engaged in subsistence agriculture, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, fruit farming, forestry, livestock production, wage labor, commerce, and other extra-community work (Photo 3).

摘要

The temperate mountain range in southern Mexico consists of a mosaic of steep slopes with vegetation such as pine-oak forests, oak forests, and cloud forests, where Indigenous and mestizo populations have settled in both the Western and Eastern Mother Sierras, from north to south (Photo 1). The soils, consisting of acrisols, lithosols, cambisols, and regosols, present a high risk of erosion (Photo 2) and sustain a multitude of communities engaged in subsistence agriculture, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, fruit farming, forestry, livestock production, wage labor, commerce, and other extra-community work (Photo 3).
