Análisis de los impactos ecológicos de cinco especies forestales introducidas (eucalypus globulus, acacia melanoxylon, pinus patula, acacia decurrens, ulex europaeus) sobre los ecosistemas presentes en el Parque Natural Municipal de Nobsa, Boyacá y su propuesta de mitigación

Abstract

The existence of exotic forest species introduced into strategic native ecosystems has been considered one of the major causes for the loss of biodiversity and the alteration of natural ecological components, a situation that leads to proposing mechanisms to prevent their spread, taking into account their Once, the identified impacts go beyond the ecological sphere, affecting the economy and social dynamics in the same way in most situations. In this research project, a review and subsequent analysis of the current situation presented in the municipality of Nobsa, in the department of Boyacá, more precisely, in the Municipal Natural Park, and the alterations suffered by the ecosystems of High Andean forest as a consequence of the establishment of introduced forest species (Eucalypus Globulus, Acacia melanoxylon, Pinus patula, Acacia decurrens, Ulex Europaeus), in order to propose viable activities and applicable practices for their management, control and eradication in territories with fundamental ecosystem services for the natural balance of the region. On the other hand, the need and importance of formulating and applying strategies with a comprehensive approach in which each of the interested parties are involved in these processes is highlighted, creating channels that allow preserving the biological richness of the study area. Within the framework of the analysis carried out, focused on the biotic environment (fauna and flora) and the abiotic environment (soil), it is possible to identify, through quantitative and qualitative assessment methods, for the soil and fauna and flora respectively the level of affectation in which each one of these is found, as a consequence of the presence of introduced exotic species and the relevance of each one of the impacts, to later propose and / or recommend the possible management actions applicable at a local and regional scale in territories with similar conditions.
