Recurso forestal, manglares, humedales intermareales tropicales, estructura uncional del ecosistema costero, cambio climático globalResumen
Los manglares constituyen un importante recurso forestal en toda la banda intertropical del planeta. Las acciones antrópicas acrecientan los riesgos sobre los ecosistemas y esto ha sido más catastrófico que el propio cambio climático global. Este último induce nuevas incertidumbres en la estabilidad ambiental y aumenta la vulnerabilidad de los hábitats críticos. Frente al desafío que enfrentan los sistemas económicos, sociales y ecológicos se presentan evidencias de estructura funcional de este sistema ecológico, planteando la hipótesis que “los manglares como hábitat forestado crítico de la zona costera presentan respuestas de acomodación frente a la variabilidad ambiental que induce el cambio global, desarrollando un papel estructural y funcional clave en la estabilidad de la línea de costa, la persistencia de hábitats y biodiversidad, el metabolismo del ecosistema, reduciendo riesgos e incertidumbre para el desarrollo sustentable del uso de sus recursos”.
