Los bosques de niebla secundarios (BNS) tienen papel importante en la regulación del ciclo hidrológico, como
hábitat para la biodiversidad y provisión de recursos. Actualmente, existe poca información sobre el potencial del BNS para la producción de madera. Determinamos las tasas de crecimiento de 4 especies maderables comunes en BNS y su respuesta al efecto del tamaño del árbol, la exposición de la copa a la luz (posición en el dosel) y el área basal de los árboles vecinos. Usamos bandas dendrométricas para medir el crecimiento anual diamétrico en 375 individuos durante 2 años en BNS, en Veracruz, México. Las tasas de crecimiento diamétrico fueron: Clethra mexicana = 0.53 ± 0.04 cm año-1, Juglans pyriformis = 0.41 ± 0.03 cm año-1; Liquidambar styraciflua = 0.41 ± 0.03 cm año-1 and Trema micrantha = 0.22 ± 0.04 cm año-1. En las 4 especies, la tasa de crecimiento aumentó con el tamaño del árbol. Los árboles con copas con iluminación lateral presentaron tasas de crecimiento mayores que los árboles sin iluminación directa en L. styraciflua. El área basal de los vecinos no afectó el crecimiento en ninguna de las especies. Los resultados apoyan que el arbolado joven tiene alto potencial de crecimiento.
