Abstract

Una buena quema agrícola se caracteriza por la combustión completa de biomasa y la propagación contenida del fuego. Partiendo de esta premisa, se documentan los conocimientos y prácticas de manejo de fuego agrícola en Calakmul, Campeche, además de analizar la medida en la que los campesinos ajustan... view more

Una buena quema agrícola se caracteriza por la combustión completa de biomasa y la propagación contenida del fuego. Partiendo de esta premisa, se documentan los conocimientos y prácticas de manejo de fuego agrícola en Calakmul, Campeche, además de analizar la medida en la que los campesinos ajustan sus prácticas según las variaciones en el patrón de precipitación, críticos para alcanzar una buena quema. La comparación de las prácticas y los registros meteorológicos evidencian el complejo entendimiento de los campesinos sobre el tiempo atmosférico, lo cual permite identificar prácticas de manejo de fuego en años secos y húmedos. Las conclusiones enfatizan en la importancia de considerar la variabilidad climática en el diseño de instituciones para un mejor juste con las condiciones locales claves para el manejo del fuego.... view less

A good agricultural burn is characterized by a complete combustion of biomass and the contained propagation of fire. This article documents the local knowledge and practices of agricultural fire management in Calakmul, Campeche, and analyzes the extent to which farmers adjust their practices according to environmental conditions, particularly to variations in the precipitation pattern, critical for a good burn. The comparison of practices and meteorological registers suggests the complex understanding of farmers about the weather. Moreover, it allows the identification of the adjustments of fire management practices in dry and wet years. Finally, the paper emphasizes on the relevance of considering climate variability in the design of institutions that best fit the local conditions which are the key for fire management.... view less
