Los servicios ecosistémicos son los beneficios que las sociedades obtienen de los ecosistemas. Este concepto permite hacer más explícita la interdependencia del bienestar humano y el mantenimiento del adecuado funcionamiento de los ecosistemas. Los bosques tropicales del mundo, debido a su amplia distribución, elevada diversidad y contribución a funciones clave del planeta como la regulación climática e hidrológica proveen una serie de servicios ecosistémicos críticos. En este artículo se hace una revisión acerca de los servicios ecosistémicos que estos bosques ofrecen. Se analizan los principales servicios de suministro, regulación y culturales. Se discuten: i) la relación entre los componentes y procesos del ecosistema y su capacidad de proveer servicios, ii) los efectos del manejo sobre la provisión de servicios, iii) los factores sociales que subyacen la provisión de servicios y iv) las intervenciones que permiten mantener o recuperar los servicios ecosistémicos.
Ecosystem services are the benefits societies obtain from ecosystems. This concept allows to explicitly address the interdependence of human well-being and the maintenance of the adequate functioning of ecosystems. Tropical forests provide critical ecosystem services worldwide due to the high biodiversity they host and their contribution to key ecological functions such as the regulation of climatic and hydrological processes. This article aims at reviewing the ecosystem services that these forests deliver, including an analysis of the main regulating and cultural services they provide. The topics discussed are: i) the relationship between the components and processes of tropical forests and their ability to deliver services, ii) the effects of management on the delivery of services, iii) the social drivers underpinnings of service delivery, iv) the interventions that contribute to maintaining or restoring ecosystem services.
