HERRERA-LLAMPALLAS, ALEJANDRO et al. NATURAL RESOURCES STATUS IN THE MOLINO DE FLORES NETZAHUALCÓYOTL NATIONAL PARK. Rev.Bio.Agro [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.46-57. ISSN 1692-3561.  https://doi.org/10.18684/bsaa.16n2.1165.

“Molino de Flores Netzahualcoyotl” National Park is a protected area located in Texcoco, Mexico and is managed by the municipality. The area lacks a management plan or any other guide or planning document that sets standards in management and conservation of its natural resources. The main goal was to make a natural resources inventory and current conservation status, thus information was obtained from 51 sampling sites in its 45 hectares of extension. The method was to delimit the park and carry out an inventory and diagnosis of natural resources. Data collected on the current state of the soil (18 parameters), vegetation (36 parameters in 5 strata) and water (4 points, 16 samples and 9 parameters each one). Information exposes the present problems and tendencies of deterioration in the National Park: decrease of vegetal cover, soil and water pollution, discharges of contaminated residual water in the Coxcacuaco river, high rates in soils by water erosion, deforestation and illegal extraction of forest resources. The results allow to know the main causes of the degradation of the natural resources and at the same time the areas of opportunity to propitiate their rehabilitation, correct management and administration of the park.
