The giant columnar cactus Neobuxbaumia tetetzo (Coulter) Backeberg is the dominant species of a vegetation type locally called "tetechera" that occupies ca. 400 km2 in the Tehuacán Valley. As a way to analyse the role of biotic interactions on the population dynamics of this species, we conducted an elasticity analysis, using matrix models elaborated from field data, to determine the finite rate of increase and the critical stages of the life cycle that were related to the biotic interactions occurring during these stages. Although the estimated finite rate of increase did not differ from unity there were significant differences between the actual and predicted size distributions. Elasticity analysis showed that survivorship was the most important life-history parameter to the finite rate of increase. Because survivorship depends on the presence of nurse plants, our results emphasise the importance of positive interactions on the population dynamics of long-lived columnar cacti.Key words: biotic interactions, Cactaceae, deserts, matrix models, population dynamics.
