    RESUMEN Rehabilitar terrenos degradados áridos, demanda superar limitaciones bióticas y abióticas. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer si refugios protectores de bajo costo, mejoran la supervivencia y el crecimiento de plantas de palo verde (Parkinsonia microphyllá), durante el primer año de reforestación en sitios degradados del Desierto Sonorense. Se construyeron refugios protectores reutilizando desechos de poda y envases plásticos. Durante un año, 264 plantas de palo verde fueron sometidas a tratamientos diferenciales de protección contra herbívoros (sin protección, y con protección por refugios de ramas, PET o ambos), y se monitoreó su supervivencia y altura. La supervivencia de plantas con el uso de refugios protectores fue mayor que la de las plantas sin protección (34.9-56.7 vs. 1.8%, x2 = 63.5; p < 0.0001); también las alturas de las plantas protegidas fueron mayores. El uso de refugios es una alternativa para la reforestación con palo verde en terrenos degradados del desierto Sonorense.

    ABSTRACT Rehabilitating degraded arid lands requires overcoming biotic and abiotic limitations. The objective of this study was to determine if low-cost protective shelters improve the survival and growth of palo verde (Parkinsonia microphylla) plants during the first year of reforestation at degraded sites in the Sonoran Desert. Protective shelters were built using pruning waste and plastic containers. For one year, 264 palo verde plants were subjected to differential protection treatments against herbivores: unprotected, and protected by branch shelters, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) shelters or both), and their survival and height were monitored. The survival of plants with the use of protective shelters was greater than that of unprotected plants (34.9-56.7 vs. 1.8%, x2 = 63.5; p < 0.0001); also, the heights of protected plants were greater. The use of shelters is an alternative for reforestation with palo verde in degraded lands in the Sonoran desert.
