• Abstract:

  In the work of Pérez-Castro and García-Meza (2019), the urgent need to carry out a restoration plan for the soil fragment located in front of the Institute of Metallurgy of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí is exposed, the importance The ecological nature of this fraction is due to the fact that it is a remnant of the last spring in the Valley of San Luis Potosí. Based on this need, a project was designed and applied in the period from February to May 2020 in order to evaluate the capacity of microalgae as the main colonizer in degraded soil, through a comparative analysis of organic matter and humidity. The results show a variation in the retention of liquid in the soil, resulting in an increase in the colonization of microalgae at higher humidity on the soil surface. Concluding that the best treatment for in situ colonization, considering both the development of microalgae on the surface and in depth, is the treatment that was irrigated with culture medium rich in nutrients, compared to soil irrigated with distilled water. In the future, the effect of microalgae on the possible increase of organic matter in soil samples must be analyzed.
