The meteorological variables monitoring is important in the study of plant biophysical processes such as the development and growth, capture and retention of water, increase of nutrients and use of environmental services. The objective of this work was to propose a meteorological monitoring system based on the analysis of the natural environment to provide a representative database. The proposal was developed in Zoquiapan Experimental Forest Station, central Mexico. Methods include the representativeness of the biophysical conditions in a semi-cold temperate forest in central Mexico. First, maps of geoforms, climate and vegetation were generated to delimit the homogeneous cartographic landscape units. Subsequently, by means of location criteria, three cartographic units were selected for the establishment of three meteorological stations. The monitoring system has two Davis Instruments automatic stations and another that operates with an Arduino open-source microcontroller. Data is recovered monthly on a laptop with an USB cable. Before the installation of the stations, the sensors were subjected to a comparison with a reference station. It was showed that the data of the first days of operation revealed differences in the climate between the units concluding that locating the stations on an altitudinal trajectory can contribute to relate the climate with different vegetation and geoforms.
