Gestión de montes en la reserva de la biosfera de Urdaibai: una oportunidad perdida

[ES] En este trabajo se realiza una valoración de la gestión forestal planteada en la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai. Tras contextualizar el caso en la problemática ambiental generada por las plantaciones de pino radiata en el País Vasco y el marco normativo en que se desarrolla su explotación, se estudia la evolución sufrida por el Plan Rector de Uso y Gestión de Urdaibai como consecuencia de la presión ejercida por el sector forestalista.

Valoración del estado ecológico de la costa rocosa de Urdaibai (Bizkaia), mediante el estudio de fitobentos intermareal

Dentro de las medidas protectoras sobre la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai se encuentra el EDAR (Estación Depuradora de Aguas Residuales) de Lamiaran (Bermeo), que entrará en funcionamiento próximamente (otoño 2014). Para evaluar su impacto sobre el medio costero, el presente estudio realiza una primera valoración del estado ecológico de la costa abierta de la reserva mediante diversos parámetros del fitobentos intermareal. Se estableció una red de muestreo compuesta por dos localidades impactadas y cuatro control. En cada localidad se eligieron aleatoriamente dos estaciones y se muestrearon dos niveles en la zona intermareal inferior. Las localidades impactadas por aguas residuales reflejaban valores bajos de riqueza específica, cobertura, diversidad y cobertura de perennes junto a una mayor abundancia de especies estacionales de morfología simple. Sin embargo los análisis estadísticos no detectaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos de localidades (impactadas vs control) detectando únicamente diferencias significativas a nivel de estación, debido en gran medida al efecto de la dispersión de las unidades muestrales para los parámetros estudiados.

Análisis biofísico y social de los servicios ecosistémicos de la reseva de Biosfera de Urdaibai

[es]Conocer la distribución de la biodiversidad y de los servicios de los ecosistemas (SE), así como la demanda por parte de la población es la base para realizar una gestión sostenible en la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai. En este trabajo se analizan los valores ecológicos de la biodiversidad y de cinco SE (regulación del ciclo hidrológico, almacenamiento de carbono, polinización, uso recreativo y disfrute estético del paisaje) en las seis unidades ambientales/ecosistemas presentes en la zona (encinar, marisma, plantaciones forestales, fondos y prados de valles, bosques naturales y hábitat costeros). Se compara esta evaluación con la percepción que la población tiene de dichos servicios y con la demanda que manifiestan los habitantes/usuarios de la reserva. De los resultados obtenidos se concluye que existe una gran demanda de los servicios de abastecimiento y regulación por parte de la población; sin embargo, la población percibe que Urdaibai ofrece principalmente servicios culturales. También se observa que la población no discrimina las diferentes contribuciones que los diferentes ecosistemas realizan a los servicios y que en general las valoraciones de los servicios suministrados asignadas por la población a los diferentes ecosistemas son superiores a las obtenidas con los datos biofísicos, con la excepción de los bosques los cuales son infravalorados.

Impacto de las aguas residuales urbanas sobre las comunidades de macroalgas intermareales: caso practico en la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai

[ES] Las aguas residuales domésticas asociadas a los núcleos urbanos se encuentran entre los principales impactos antrópicos que amenazan la biodiversidad de los ecosistemas costeros. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar el impacto de aguas residuales provenientes de la población de Bermeo sobre las comunidades intermareales de la parte mas externa de la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai. Para ello se ha contrastado la estructura de la vegetación bajo la influencia del emisario con la existente en cuatro localidades control en los años 2013 y 2014. Los resultados reflejan diferencias en la composición de la flora intermareal entre la localidad impactada y las localidades no afectadas por la contaminación. La localidad impactada queda caracterizada por la proliferación de algas filamentosas (Bachelotia antillarum) y clorófitos (Ulva intestinalis), así como de rodofíceas cespitosas con corticación simple (Gellidium pusillum, Gellidium pulchellum y Caulacanthus ustulatus). Por el contrario, en las localidades control son abundantes las especies perennes de gran porte y morfología compleja (Bifurcaria bifurcata, Cystoseira tamariscifolia, Halopteris spp. y Gelidium corneum). La calcárea Coralina elongata, estaba presente tanto en las localidades control como en la localidad impactada. Por otra parte, los análisis de la varianza realizados detectaron una elevada variabilidad espacio-temporal en la composición multivariable de la vegetación intermareal de las estaciones control, lo cual restó poder estadístico para detectar las diferencias entre la localidad impactada y los controles. Este resultado pone de manifiesto la dificultad e importancia de elegir controles apropiados para detectar impactos ambientales. Este estudio ha proporcionado la información necesaria sobre el estado ecológico de las comunidades en la situación pre-operacional de la EDAR de Lamiaran (Bermeo), lo cual permitirá evaluar en un futuro la eficacia del tratamiento de las aguas en términos de recuperación biológica.

Uso de habitat, orçamento temporal e influência da maré da geomorfologia do fundo sobre o comportamento do boto Sotalia guianensis Van Bénéden, 1864 (Cetacea: Delphinidae) no Porto de Maceió - Alagoas, Brasil

The physical and environmental factors presented by each habitat and the rhythm of behavior patterns strongly influence the ecology and behavior of the all living beings. At same time this factors may provide clues about the structure of a population and its ecological balance. The organizational structure, ecology and behavior of a species appraised in a region if we know be in balance when compared to the same type of appraisal made in a degraded area can provide a clear view of how the anthropogenic influences acted on these species and what steps can be taken in order to mitigate the effects and keep the population. The region where this study was conducted is, like most areas of port, subject to intense physical and environmental degradation. With the emerging interest of change in the quality of these environments also by the companies themselves that use the port services, the proposed study aimed to characterize the use of habitat, the distribution of behavioral activities carried out throughout the day and influence of geomorphology of the bed, depth and variation of tide on the expression of the behavior of Sotalia guianensis in the port of Maceio - Alagoas. From this information will be possible establish parameters for comparison with other populations of S. guianensis and establish conservation measures for the population occurring in the port of Maceio - AL, serving also as a basis for conservation actions future performed in other port regions

Geomorfologia e neotectônica no Vale do Apodi-Mossoró RN

Numerous studies have indicated that the Potiguar Basin is affected by Cenozoic tectonics. The reactivation of Cretaceous fault systems affect the post-rift units, witch include Neogene and overlying Quaternary sediments. In this context, the objectives of this thesis are the followings: (1) to characterize the effects of post-rift tectonics in the morphology of Apodi Mossoró-river valley located in the central portion of the Potiguar, (2) to characterize the drainage of the Apodi Mossoró river valley and investigate the behavior of their channels across active faults, and (3) to propose a geologic-geomorphological evolutionary model for the study area. This study used a geological and geomorphological mapping of the central part of the basin, with emphasis on the Quaternary record, luminescence dating of sediments, and geoelectric profiles of the area. The results reveal by maps of structural lineaments and drainage channels of the rivers form valleys that are affected by faults and folds. In Apodi-Mossoró valley, anomalies of channel morphology are associated with the deformation of the post-rift basin. These anomalies show the reactivation of major fault systems in the Potiguar Basin in Cenozoic. On a regional scale, can be seen through the vertical electric profiles that the Cenozoic tectonics is responsible for the elevation of a macro dome NE-SE-trending 70-km long and 50km wide and up to 270 above sea level. In this sector, the vertical electric profiles data show that the contact between the Cretaceous and Neogene rise more than 100m. This Is an important feature of inversion data obtained in this work showed that the deposits that cover the macro dome (Serra do Mel) have ages of 119 ka to 43 ka. In the river valley and surrounding areas Apodi-Mossoró ages vary between 319 ka and 2.7 ka. From these data it was possible to establish the correct geochronological posiconamento paleodepósitos of distinguishing them from the fluvial deposits of the Neogene (Barreiras Formation)

Geologia e geomorfologia dos recifes de Maracajaú-RN e plataforma rasa adjacente

This work focuses the geological and geomorphological characterization of the inner shelf in the West Coast of the Rio Grande do Norte state, particularly the reef coral barrier offshore of Maracajaú (Maxaranguape district). If developed without the necessary concerns, tourism and entertainment activities that have been widely increased during the last five years can lead to irreversible environmental damages to the biotic and abiotic ecosystems of the region. Regarding these aspects, it is crucial the realization of a detailed study to envisage the achievement of a self-sustainable development, especially with respect to the possibilities of a rational usage of the region. This is the aim of this manuscript, which consisted of an initial stage of digital modeling of the terrain with basis on digitalization and vectorization of the Nautical map number 803 (Naval Service of Brazil, 1971). Information obtained in this phase was improved with the digital processing of small format aerial photos acquired from six flights, which were integrated to form a photomosaic of the area. The refined maps produced with the data from Nautical and aerial photo-interpretations aided to locate 9 bathymetric profiles, which provided information about the sea floor relief of the whole area. This later aided in the choosing of areas to bottom sampling that, in its turn, helped to characterize sediments present in floor of the inner shelf. Sixty-four samples collected during this work were studied by granulometrical and chemical analysis; with the later one developed in order to measure carbonate and organic matter contents. Forty-two of these samples showed carbonate content higher than 80% and organic matter in the range of 0.58% to 24.06%. With respect to grain size, these samples are in the interval between fine- to mid-grained sands. Sands with grain sizes higher than this one are also composed by carbonate carapaces such as pale yellow to red rhodolites with ellipsoidal and spheroidal shapes. During determination of the submerse features, the small format aerial photos demonstrated to be a useful methodology to aid the delineation of the sea floor topography through shallow deep waters. The bathymetry, for its turn, revealed several features at the bottom of the platform, in which the most conspicuous are undulations and morphological details of the São Roque Channel. Examination of bottom, aside from sand, yielded the identification of bivalves, ostracods, fragments of bryozoans, spikes of sponges, spines of echinoderms, operculum of gastropods and foraminifers. From the above it is concluded that the multi-methodological approach developed in this study worked efficiently, permitting the geomorphological and environmental characterization of the inner shelf of the North Maracajaú

Geomorfologia e distribuição da vegetação ripária na ilha Mutum, rio Paraná - PR/MS

Conectivity between the hydrologic regimen and the distribution of the vegetation there is already a lot is recognized by several researchers in the works of fluvial ecology. It can be affirmed that the geomorphology of the alluvial plain has an important paper in the constitution of the riparian vegetation. On the proposed study, traverse topographical profiles were elaborated in the island, recognition of the distribution of the vegetation and the zoning geomorphologic presented in profiles for the Mutum Island. It's located in the upper course of the Parana River, between the mouth of the Paranapanema River and the mouth of the Ivinhema River. It elapses of this study the succession of the strata of the riparian vegetation and the relationship with the morphology of the surface, in this case the relief as the main controller abiotic and selective of the species in the environmental. For the whole island it was possible to define three classes: Mutum Upper Unit, Mutum Lower Unit and Paleochannel. The presented discussion is resulted partial of the project called Processes of Conectivity and the Riparian Vegetacion in the high course of the Parana River, PR/MS.

Variação das características hidrosedimentares e geomorfologia do leito do Rio Ivaí - PR, em seu curso inferior

In the present study were observed changes in morphology of the bed of the lower course of the river Ivaí, made by bathymetric surveys, granulometric analysis and measures the flow velocity. Changes made considerable changes in relation to flow and bad load. The study was conducted in the last 110 km of the river Ivaí, between the municipalities Tapira and Icaraíma - PR. In this section the channel flows with meandering pattern, embedded in sandstone Caiuá and sediment modern of its flood plain. This is the only major river in the state that so far has no modifications, making it an important site for studies of fluvial geomorphology.
