Aproximación a las comunidades de carófitos que existieron en la Albufera de Valencia a partir del estudio de las oósporas del sedimento

Abstract

[ES] Las oósporas de carófitos y sus características (tamaño, forma, color, ornamentación de la pared, etc.) pueden persistir en los bancos de semillas del sedimento de ecosistemas acuáticos, y pueden ser utilizadas para identificar los diferentes táxones y obtener de este modo una aproximación a la composición florística de las comunidades de carófitos que colonizaron ambientes acuáticos en los que actualmente no existe vegetación acuática o se encuentra muy alterada. La Albufera de Valencia perdió hace muchos años las praderas de carófitos que cubrían sus fondos sin tener un estudio detallado de las mismas. Se han extraído diversos testigos de sedimento en tres puntos de esta laguna, se han caracterizado las oósporas y girogonitos encontrados y se ha estimado la densidad de oósporas-girogonitos en diferentes profundidades del sedimento. En total se han identificado 10 táxones, que corresponden: 6 al género Chara [Ch. vulgaris, Ch. hispida var. major, Ch. fragilis (Ch. globularis), Ch. hispida var. baltica, Ch. aspera y Ch. tomentosa]; una especie de Nitella (N. hyalina); 2 de Tolypella (T. glomerata y T. hispanica), y una de Lamprothamnium (L. papulosum). Esta última, indicadora de la época en la que la laguna poseía una mayor salinidad, se encontró en las capas más profundas del sedimento. Se ha observado un aumento del número y de la diversidad de oósporas en capas más profundas del sedimento, lo que indica, por un lado, que la laguna atravesó distintas fases ecológicas (con importantes cambios de salinidad principalmente) y, por otro, que el proceso de eutrofización que padece la laguna durante al menos los últimos 45 años afectó progresivamente a la abundancia y diversidad de carófitos.

[EN] Charophyte oospores and their features (size, shape, colour, outer wall ornamentation, etc.) are able to persist in seed banks of aquatic ecosystems. Thus, these characteristics can be used for taxonomic species identification, thereby providing knowledge about the specific composition of the charophyte community in a habitat that currently lacks, or has greatly altered, submerged vegetation. Several years ago, l’Albufera de València lost the charophyte meadows that covered the lake bottom in the past, which had never been studied in detail. Several sediment cores were extracted from the lagoon at three sites and the oospores and gyrogonites were isolated and characterized. The oospore/gyrogonite densities in the sediment layers were estimated. Ten different taxa have been identified: six belonging to genus Chara [Ch. vulgaris, Ch. hispida var. major, Ch. fragilis (Ch. globularis), Ch. hispida var. baltica, Ch. aspera, Ch. tomentosa]; one Nitella species (N. hyalina), two Tolypella species (T. glomerata and T. hispanica) and one Lamprothamnium species (L. papulosum). The latter, which indicates the period when water salinity was high in the lagoon, was found in the deepest sediment layers. An increase in the oospore abundance and diversity was observed in line with sediment depth. This indicates, on the one hand, that the lagoon went through different ecological stages (with important changes in salinity, mainly) and, on the other hand, the eutrophication process that the lagoon has been undergoing for at least the last 45 years, has progressively affected the abundance and diversity of the charophyte community.
