SERVICIOS AMBIENTALES DE LA VEGETACIÓN EN ECOSISTEMAS URBANOS EN EL CONTEXTO DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO

Abstract

Es abundante la información sobre los problemas ambientales que afectan a las urbes más importantes del mundo, pero es limitada para México. Esta revela que los servicios ambientales proporcionados por la vegetación, particularmente el arbolado, contribuyen a reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, por ejemplo; sin embargo, su eficiencia está limitada por la escasez de agua y los contaminantes del aire y se agravará con el cambio climático. Entre los principales efectos de este último destacan la formación de olas e islas de calor y el aumento en la temperatura y en las concentraciones de ozono (O3) en las ciudades, donde dicho gas constituye una amenaza seria a la salud humana y a la de los árboles al interferir en la fotosíntesis, proceso fundamental en la prestación de servicios ambientales. La vegetación urbana puede ser una fuente de contaminación atmosférica al producir compuestos orgánicos volátiles que conducen a la formación de O3. La ciudad de Guadalajara está afectada por el cambio climático porque tiene porcentajes bajos de cobertura vegetal, alta contaminación del aire y la disponibilidad de agua ha disminuido. Estudios de fotosíntesis en árboles que crecen en Guadalajara revelaron amplias diferencias en su eficiencia de secuestrar carbono. Por lo tanto existe potencial para la selección de especies arbóreas con el propósito de usarlas en la reforestación de esta urbe, con el fin de reducir la contaminación del aire y mitigar los efectos del cambio climático.
