MARTINEZ CHAVES, Paula Andrea; BETANCOURT MENDIETA, Alexander; NICOLAS CARETTA, Miguel  y  AGUILAR ROBLEDO, Miguel. Procesos históricos y ambientales en Cerro de San Pedro, San Luis Potosí, México, 1948-1997. Región y sociedad [online]. 2010, vol.22, n.48, pp.211-241. ISSN 2448-4849.

Studies on the Cerro de San Pedro municipality emphasize the apparent environmental continuity encouraged by mining activity; however, this perception undervalues other dynamics that take place in the region. This article illustrates processes not considered heretofore, such as the exploitation of vegetable resources and pasturing as economic activities parallel to mining. The information is based on field observations, analysis of vegetable covers, interviews with the inhabitants of the region, revision of cartography and archived work.

Palabras llave : environmental history; regional history; Cerro de San Pedro; San Luis Potosí.
