MEDRANO-PEREZ, Ojilve Ramón; PAYANO-ALMANZAR, Reynaldo  and  LOPEZ-JIMENEZ, Leonardo Noriel. Geomorphological and hydroclimatological characterization of the Pantanos de Centla Biosphere Reserve, Mexico. Acta univ [online]. 2021, vol.31, e2846.  Epub Feb 16, 2022.

In this article, the geomorphological and hydro climatological characterization of the Pantanos Centla Biosphere Reserve, Tabasco, Mexico, is shown. To that end, a digital database was generated with the reserve's main characteristics (hydrology, climatology, hydrogeology, and other key aspects). The results show a system with little drainage capacity, influenced by the clay typology and an elongated morphology reflecting a long concentration time. The immediate challenge is the insufficient space-time data infrastructure which helps understand this natural area's climatological and geological processes. Therefore, this contribution should impact decision-making within the natural area, based on the best available scientific information..

Keywords : Mexican hydrology; Protected Natural Area; Tabasco; decision support system.
