- Abstract
The article analyzes the temporal dynamics of forest fuels and the effect of fire in a pine forest in Cerro Nambiyugua, Chiapas. It was found that the litter and duff load gradually increased over time, reaching its peak in 2018 and decreasing after the 2019 forest fire. The results have implications for forest fuel management and carbon storage due to climate change and the expected increase in forest fires frequency. The study highlights the importance of understanding fuel production dynamics to comprehend the functioning of forest ecosystems and to take management and fire prevention measures.
