Ar. Manzanares et al., PINUS-CEMBROIDES S. L. AND PINUS-JOHANNIS OF THE MEXICAN HIGHLANDS - AN OVERVIEW, Acta botanica gallica, 143(7), 1996, pp. 681-693
A comparative analysis of the biology of the mexican pinyon pines Pinu
s cembroides Zucc. and Pinus johannis M.-F. Robert in the Mexican Plat
eau is carried out. Similarities and differences in geographical and e
cological distribution as a result of moisture limitations, mating sys
tems, biotic interactions and chemistry of the oleoresins are emphasiz
ed, as well as other aspects which should deserve consideration to enh
ance the understanding of these taxa.
