SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY IN THE MEXICAN TROPICS

Scientists writing and participating in our Scientific and Technological Meeting in Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock in Veracruz during 23 consecutive years has been a challenge, due to the difficult conditions that most part-time researchers in the tropics encounter, with limited resources. Under these circumstances, providing a media for publication is just what they need to get involved in peer review publication. This special issue of Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems is a sample of the scientific activity going on mostly in Veracruz, but it also includes some other areas of the Mexican Tropics
