| description | One of the most important dry agroecosystems in Colombia is found in the northern Guajira region, which has native inhabitants (sociocultural aspect) and semiarid zones (ecological aspect). This condition has resulted in great vulnerability in agricultural production systems to adverse climatic events, which require large scale action. For example, the establishment of agroclimatic suitability zones are needed to access information, for decision-making. The aim of this study was to carry out agroclimatic zoning in the municipality of Uribia (La Guajira) for agricultural production systems and animal feed species. The criteria used to identify the agroclimatic suitability zones included: plant coverage present in the municipality, soil suitability, water storage under water stress, regular conditions found in the municipality, and an extreme water deficit event. The evaluated conditions showed variations in agroclimatic suitability during the periods January to April and August to November. During an extreme water-deficit event between August and November, the suitable area for the establishment of production systems with plant species (type C3 and C4) was smaller (77,000 ha) than in the period January to April (130,000 ha). The agroclimatic suitability categories in Uribia did not exhibit differences between the evaluated periods under average water-deficit conditions. |

En el norte de la Guajira encontramos uno de los ecosistemas secos más importantes de Colombia desde el punto de vista sociocultural y ecológico. Esta condición genera una gran vulnerabilidad de sus sistemas agropecuarios a eventos climáticos extremos, razón por la cual varias acciones son requeridas para reducirla. Dentro de las acciones se encuentra el establecimiento de zonas de aptitud agroclimática, una fuente de acceso a información que permite tomar decisiones. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una zonificación agroclimática del municipio de Uribia (La Guajira) para sistemas de producción agrícola y especies de alimentación animal. Los criterios utilizados para realizar la identificación de las zonas de aptitud incluyeron: coberturas vegetales presentes, aptitud de suelos, almacenamiento de agua bajo estrés hídrico, condiciones regulares climáticas y un evento de déficit hídrico extremo. Las condiciones evaluadas registraron variaciones en la aptitud agroclimática desde enero a abril y desde agosto a noviembre. Bajo la condición de déficit hídrico extremo entre agosto y noviembre, el área apta para el establecimiento de sistemas de producción con especies agrícolas (tipo C3 y C4) fue menor (77.000 ha) comparado con el periodo de enero a abril (130.000 ha). Las categorías de aptitud agroclimática en Uribia no mostraron diferencias entre los períodos evaluados bajo condiciones de déficit hídrico promedio.
