The digital edition of "Vegetación de México" by Jerzy Rzedowski, with the marine coastal vegetation section contributed by Laura Huerta M., is a comprehensive work on the vegetation of Mexico. It was first published in 2005 by the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity. The book was initially conceived in 1974, but due to various obstacles, it was not published until 1978 by Editorial Limusa. It received widespread recognition among Mexican biologists and had some influence on other professions and fields interested in Mexico's vegetation. The seventh and final reprint appeared in 1998, and by 2000, it was no longer available in print. Despite this, the book remained in demand, especially in educational institutions, leading to its digital publication by the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity in 2006. The digital edition was carefully transcribed and formatted, with minimal changes to preserve the original content. The author expresses deep gratitude to Ana Luisa Guzmán of CONABIO for her initiative and effort in making the edition a reality, as well as to the individuals who performed the digitization work, including Laura de L. Cárdenas Flores, Jacinta Ramírez Bautista, and Delfo López Velazco. A special acknowledgment is also given to Elvia Esparza for her artistic contributions to the book's cover. The book includes an introduction, chapters on biological forms and spectra, marine coastal vegetation, mangroves, palustrine vegetation, floating and submerged vegetation, other herbaceous and aquatic communities, and other types of vegetation. It also includes a chapter on vegetation as a natural resource and its future in Mexico, along with a bibliography, glossary, and index. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the diverse vegetation of Mexico.The digital edition of "Vegetación de México" by Jerzy Rzedowski, with the marine coastal vegetation section contributed by Laura Huerta M., is a comprehensive work on the vegetation of Mexico.
