Soil Carbon Sequestration in Different Ecoregions of Mexico [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This chapter reviews the soil organic carbon situation in Mexican soils and presents the results, grouping the soils in different ways. Mexico has a wide variety of soils, in accordance with the great variety of climates in the country. Despite this variety, a little more than half of the Mexican territory (52.2%) is arid; that is, it spends most of the year with a water deficit (the rainfall contribution to soil moisture is below the demands from evapotranspiration of plants or soil direct evaporation). The chapter describes the diagnosis criteria employed for the zoning of soils regarding their aridic level. It considers the following four aridity classifications: strongly aridic soils, aridic soils, semiaridic soils, and nonaridic soils. The classification of the different ecological regions of North America that are present in Mexico led to the concept of ecoregions, and their Levels I and II, depending on the degree of detail of the scale employed.
