Floristic Survey and Taxonomic Characteristics of Vascular Plants in Cerro Mohinora, Chihuahua, Mexico
, which was discovered during the fieldwork of this study and formally described in 2019. It should be noted that not all of these taxa were recorded in the present survey. Regarding conservation, eight species are listed nationally and 54 internationally. Low exotic species representation (2.6%) contrasts with the vulnerability of the endemic flora. Our findings characterize Cerro Mohinora as a critical boreal refuge and an active evolutionary center, underscoring the need to strengthen conservation frameworks and management strategies to mitigate climate change impacts.
