evaluation of the conservation status of a rare cactus (mammillaria crucigera) through the analysis of its population dynamics

We used population projection matrices to analyse the demography of Mammillaria crucigera, a rare cactus endemic to a small region in Central Mexico. Matrices were based on a 2-year period of observations on survival, growth and reproduction. No seed germination or seedling survival were observed
