Influencia del aumento del nivel del mar en las marismas de Urdaibai, País Vasco.

Abstract

Las retroalimentaciones entre la concentración de sedimentos, la absorción de sedimentos por las plantas, la acumulación de materia orgánica bajo el suelo, la productividad de las especies halófilas y la exposición a las inundaciones determinan el funcionamiento y la evolución de las marismas costeras. Esto, junto con la situación actual de aumento del nivel del mar y la ocupación de las zonas costeras, amenazan el destino de estos valiosos ecosistemas. El presente estudio pretende evaluar el destino potencial de las marismas de Urdaibai (País Vasco) bajo diferentes escenarios de subida del nivel del mar y diferentes proyecciones temporales, y poner los resultados a disposición del público en general. Para ello, este trabajo desarrolla un modelo predictivo que tiene en cuenta las interacciones eco-geomórficas de las variables mencionadas anteriormente. Los resultados sugieren que la zona de estudio presentará un aumento de la superficie de la marisma en los escenarios de cambio climático RCP 4.5 y RCP 8.5 junto con un aumento de la exposición a las inundaciones del sistema. Los resultados también sugieren que esta evolución de la marisma se apoya principalmente en la capacidad de Halimione portulacoides para modificar las tasas de deposición, facilitando las condiciones ecológicas para el desarrollo de Juncus maritimus. Estos resultados están disponibles en la herramienta SIG online https://benategidazu.github.io/Parcelas_Afectadas_App/, donde se puede consultar el destino de la zona en los escenarios estudiados. Las incertidumbres de este modelo son altas debido a la baja calidad de la información disponible. Sin embargo, el aumento de la calidad de la información que alimenta el modelo y el conocimiento de las interacciones interespecíficas de las especies de las marismas podría mejorar estas incertidumbres.

The feedbacks between sediment concentration, sediment uptake by plants, accumulation of below ground organic matter, productivity of halophyte species and exposure to flooding determine the functioning and evolution of coastal marshes. This together with the current situation of sea level rise and occupation of coastal areas threaten the fate of such valuable ecosystems. The present study aims to evaluate the potential fate of the Urdaibai saltmarshes (Basque Country) under different scenarios of sea level rise and different time projections, and make available the results to the general public. To do so this works develops a predictive model that takes into account the eco-geomorphic interactions of the variables mentioned above. The results suggest that the study area will present an increase in the marsh area in the climate change scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 together with an increase in the exposure to flooding of the system. The results also suggest that this saltmarsh evolution is mainly supported by the capacity of Halimione portulacoides to modify deposition rates, facilitating the ecological conditions for the development of Juncus maritimus. These results are available in the online GIS tool https://benategidazu.github.io/Parcelas_Afectadas_App/, where the fate of the area in the studied scenarios can be consulted. The uncertainties of this model are high due to the low quality of available information. However, increasing the quality of information feeding the model and the knowledge on interspecific interactions of saltmarsh species could improve these uncertainties.
