Structural ecological connectivity in the municipality of Valparaíso (Caquetá, Colombia): A proposal for linkages and connectivity nuclei at a semi-detailed scale

Ecosystem services are the benefits that humanity receives from ecosystems: from the provision of food, water, wood and fiber to water and climate regulation, among many others.

description Ecosystem services are the benefits that humanity receives from ecosystems: from the provision of food, water, wood and fiber to water and climate regulation, among many others. In order to maintain this environmental supply, it is necessary to know the location, state and degree of connection of the natural areas present in a territory. Taking into account the interpretation of land cover at a scale of 1:25,000, the delimitation of sub-basins within the municipality, the consultation of secondary information, the use of the Linkage Mapper tool and a subsequent verification with satellite images of the year 2020, a set of linkages and structural connectivity cores are proposed for the natural areas present in the municipality of Valparaíso (Caquetá) in Colombia, in order to provide decision-makers with inputs for land management in order to maintain the quality and supply of ecosystem services. As a result, 48 connectivity cores were obtained corresponding to inland and floodable forests and about 7% of the municipal area in linkages that are mainly represented by remaining gallery forests in the study area.

Los servicios ecosistémicos son los beneficios que la humanidad recibe de los ecosistemas: desde la provisión de alimentos, agua, madera y fibras hasta la regulación hídrica y climática, entre muchos otros. Para mantener esta oferta ambiental es preciso conocer la ubicación, el estado y el grado de conexión de las áreas naturales presentes en un territorio. Teniendo en cuenta la interpretación de coberturas de la tierra a escala 1:25.000, la delimitación de subcuencas dentro del municipio, la consulta de información secundaria, el uso de la herramienta Linkage Mapper y una posterior verificación con imágenes satelitales del año 2020, se proponen corredores y núcleos de conectividad estructural para las áreas naturales presentes en el municipio de Valparaíso (Caquetá) en Colombia, con el fin de ofrecer a los tomadores de decisiones insumos para la ordenación del territorio en procura de mantener la calidad y la oferta de servicios ecosistémicos. Como resultado, se obtuvieron 48 núcleos de conectividad correspondientes a bosques de tierra firme e inundables y alrededor de 7% del área municipal en corredores que están representados principalmente por bosques de galería remanentes en el área de estudio. Os serviços ecossistêmicos são os benefícios que a humanidade recebe dos ecossistemas: desde a provisão de alimentos, água, madeira e fibras até a regulação hídrica e climática, entre muitos outros. Para manter esta oferta ambiental é preciso conhecer a localização, o estado e o grau de conexão das áreas naturais presentes em um território. Tendo em conta a interpretação das coberturas da terra à escala de 1:25.000, a delimitação de sub-contas dentro do município, a consulta de informações secundárias, a utilização da ferramenta Linkage Mapper e uma posterior verificação com imagens de satélite do ano de 2020, são propostos corredores e núcleos de conectividade estrutural para as áreas naturais presentes no município de Valparaíso (Caquetá) na Colômbia, com o fim de oferecer aos tomadores de decisão insumos para o ordenamento do território em busca de manter a qualidade e a oferta de serviços ecossistêmicos. Como resultado, foram obtidos 48 núcleos de conectividade correspondentes a florestas de terra firme e inundáveis e cerca de 7% da área municipal em corredores que estão representados principalmente por florestas de galeria remanescentes na área de estudo.
