Aerobiología de cuevas andaluzas

Abstract

[ES]: La Aerobiología es una ciencia de reciente aplicación en cuevas. Los estudios del aire de las cuevas son escasos y no hay información respecto a la concentración de esporas fúngicas en el aire que permitan una clasificacción de la atmósfera de una cueva como no peligrosa para la conservación de las pinturas rupestres o incluso para la salud humana. Con el objetivo de conocer los problemas derivados del uso turístico de las cuevas y su impacto sobre el arte rupestre, recientemente se ha propuesto una clasificación con cinco categorías que van desde una cueva que no presenta problemas a una que está en peligro: la categoría 1 identifica a una cueva sin problemas de hongos, la categoría 2 representa una señal de alarma para las cuevas, la categoría 3 incluye a cuevas amenazadas por los hongos, la categoría 4 la componen las cuevas muy afectada por los hongos, y la categoría 5 es una cueva con daños ecológicos irreversibles y potencialmente muy peligrosa para la conservación de las pinturas. En este trabajo aplicamos esta clasificación a tres cuevas andaluzas (cueva del Tesoro, El Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga; cueva de Ardales, Málaga y Gruta de las Maravillas, Aracena, Huelva), con diferente régimen de visitas. Asimismo, se consideró de interés el estudio estacional de la aerobiología de las cuevas, con el fin de observar si existían pautas estacionales y/o la concentración y tipos de microorganismos presentes en el aire sufrían modificaciones a lo largo del año.

[EN]: Aerobiology of caves is rarely studied. At present, no clear information has been generated on the limits of acceptance of fungal spores in air, which would permit a classification of the cave atmosphere as not dangerous for the conservation of rock-art paintings and for the health of visistors. We should rely on the preventive conservation and the early detection of microbial outbreaks and with this aim we are using an index of fungal hazard in show caves. This index is based on data on the concentration of fungal spores in the cave's air, knowledge of the cave's history and management, and a detailed survey of the different halls of the caves. The index classifies caves into five risk categories: category 1 designates a cave without a fungal problem, category 2 is a warning sign for caves, category 3 includes caves threatened by fungi, category 4 is assigned to caves already affected by fungi, and category 5 designates caves with an irreversible ecological impact. We have applied this index to three Andaluslian show caves: Treasure Cave (El Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga), Ardales Cave (Ardales, Málaga) and Wonders Grotto (Aracena, Huelva). In addition, we considered of interest to study if there were seasonal patterns in the aerobiology of some caves or the microorganisms present in the air suffer modification throughout the year.
