Evaluación y mapeo de los servicios ecosistémicos derivados del componente forestal en la reserva natural de la sociedad civil “Umbral Cultural Horizontes”.

Abstract

The ecosystem services derived from the forestry component provided by the Civil Society Nature Reserve "Umbral Cultural Horizontes" were evaluated using the international evaluation of ecosystem services CICES V5.1 and adjusting the collaborative protocol for the evaluation and mapping of ecosystem services and socio-economic vulnerability. ecological for the ECOSER land use planning, which later determined 20 ecosystem services of importance for the reserve linked to the different synergies that occur within it and to the different attributes that occur in the area. Within this prioritization of services, the provision of genetic material, the regulation of air quality, the stabilization and control of erosion, the damping of mass flows, among other services that allowed from a functional evaluation directed to the mapping, the graphic representation of ecosystem functions that support these prioritized services, such as soil organic carbon content, biomass organic carbon content, soil fertility, erosion control, and soil retention functions. excess precipitation due to vegetation cover. Finally, and due to the relationship of the protocols used and the methodologies chosen, it was determined that, under this conceptual framework, the relative provision is directed to the different population groups that frequent the reserve and the services with the greatest provision are quality regulation. of the air, the stabilization and control of erosion and the service of damping and attenuation of mass flows.
