Estudio de la Variabilidad Espacial en el Depósito de Azufre en la Reserva de Calakmul Durante la Temporada de Lluvias

Research at the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve reveals that its sub-evergreen tropical forest maintains high carbon storage capacity, despite some localized degradation. The study found that soil properties—neutral to moderately alkaline pH, low salinity, and sandy loam to sandy clay loam texture—support medium to very high organic matter and carbon content, promoting fertility and nutrient availability. While moisture levels varied with depth (higher at the surface due to the rainy season), significant correlations were observed between moisture, conductivity, silt/clay content, and pH, indicating soil texture's role in chemical dynamics. Though carbon sequestration potential was lower than in semi-remote forests or national parks but higher than urban areas like Mexico City, the site retains robust ecological resilience. The study employed passive sulfur sampling to assess atmospheric deposition during the rainy season, providing insights into spatial variability and long-term stability.
