Valoración ecológica y productiva de los pastos supraforestales en el Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido

Abstract

[ES]: El 70% de la superficie supraforestal del Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido (PNOMP) consiste en un ecosistema pastoral, constituido a su vez por un gran número de comunidades vegetales de los pisos alpino y subalpino. Estas comunidades contienen una parte muy importante de la diversidad vegetal, de los hábitats y de los valores paisajísticos del Parque. Los pastos mantienen una estrecha relación con la actividad de los herbívoros. Debido a esta interacción y a los cambios de la actividad ganadera durante las últimas décadas, los pastos se encuentran también sometidos a un proceso de cambio intenso, mediante mecanismos complejos y todavía poco conocidos. En este estudio, a partir de la distribución espacial de la vegetación, realizamos una valoración eco-pastoral de los pastos del PNOMP, con el fin de conocer de manera detallada y contrastable los valores que incluye. Determinamos separadamente el valor ecológico y forrajero de cada una de las comunidades pascícolas presentes en el Parque y de las distintas unidades de utilización pastoral (puertos), mediante una metodología desarrollada por el propio equipo de investigación. Con ella se evalúan las comunidades pascícolas mediante índices que combinan aspectos ecológicos (rareza de especies y comunidades, amplitud de distribución, diversidad, presencia en catálogos de protección) y forrajeros (producción, digestibilidad, contenido en proteína, preferencia por los herbívoros). La utilidad de esta valoración consiste en identificar para cada una de las comunidades y para el conjunto del área supraforestal, los indicadores de calidad ecológica y pastoral, y diagnosticar su estado de conservación. Los gestores e investigadores pueden disponer de información digital y espacialmente explícita, del valor ecológico y pastoral de la superficie supraforestal del PNOMP con un tamaño de pixel de 5 m2. Además, el uso de una metodología estandarizada permite realizar el seguimiento periódico de los pastos, establecer las bases científicas para el uso pastoral del PNOMP y promover medidas de gestión compatibles con la conservación.

[EN]: Grasslands occupy near three quarters of the supraforestal surface (on the alpine and subalpine belts) of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park (PNOMP). This mountain ecosystem is made up by an outstanding number of plant species and communities and, furthermore, it constitutes a visibly stamp on the high mountain landscape. These types of grasslands show a high complexity both in structure and dynamics, as a consequence of the ancient interaction with herbivores and of recent land use changes. Most of these process remain little known yet. With the aim of knowing, in a detailed and contrasted way, the values of these grasslands, we have carried out in this study an eco-pastoral assessment of the National Park pasturelands taking into account their spatial distribution. We have determined, separately, the ecological and forage value of each plant community and, after that, the whole value of the different pastoral units of the territory. To do this, we have developed a methodology which have into consideration ecological features (species and communities rareness, wideness of distribution areas, diversity, and presence in “red books”) and nutritive characteristics (biomass, primary production, digestibility, protein content, and herbivore preference). The usefulness of this method consists in identifying, for each plant community or for a determined territory, their ecological and nutritive indicators, as well as their conservation condition. Thus, researches and managers have available digitalized information of those values in a spatial scale of 5 m2 pixel size. Finally, by means of this standardized methodology, a periodic monitoring of grasslands can be carried out in order to establish the basis for management in a compatible way with nature conservation.
