Algunas Experiencias en El Uso De Índices Limnológicos en Colombia

Abstract: RESUMENEl objetivo central de este trabajo es presentar algunas experiencias realizadas por el Departamento de Biología de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia en la elaboración de índices limnológicos para evaluar el estado ecológico de sistemas acuáticos colombianos. Se presentan siete casos que van desde la construcción de un índice multimétrico para los humedales bogotanos, hasta el desarrollo de un método de biomonitoreo del estado trófico basado en microalgas encapsuladas en alginato. Los índices consider… Show more

“…Paramos are some of the least studied ecosystems in the world (Buytaert et al, 2011). Despite some studies assessing community assembly of AM in Paramos lagoons (Alba-Hincapié et al, 2016;Gómez et al, 2016;Posada-García et al, 2008), more research is needed in the evaluation of its WQ. Understand this ecosystem in terms of its hydrology may foster a better management of water resources (Flores-López et al, 2016).…”

“…Understand this ecosystem in terms of its hydrology may foster a better management of water resources (Flores-López et al, 2016). Paramos ecosystems are critical for water supply in local communities, regulating water resource during seasonal variations (Alba-Hincapié et al, 2016;Buytaert et al, 2006), and serving as the region's headwaters for downstream users (Flores-López et al, 2016). For instance, this ecosystem provides 95% of water to the capital city (Bogotá) (Buytaert et al, 2011).…”

“…Since the 20th century, the use of biological indicators has become an indispensable tool for evaluating the ecological status of an aquatic ecosystem, and monitoring its dynamics, in both lotic and lentic environments. However, more attention has been given to particular communities about others, due to their ease of identification or because they house several species with a high bio-indication value, such as aquatic macroinvertebrates and fishes (Nichols et al 2000, Pinilla 2016. Within these communities with bio-indicating characteristics, we find the macrophytes that constitute a group of aquatic life organisms where their formations are complex, but easily identifiable (Suarez et al 2005) and that has been very little studied in Ecuador (Terneus 2002).…”

“…Además, por vivir en el sustrato, tienen un marcado carácter espacial y reflejan tanto las alteraciones del agua como las del propio sustrato, lo que los hace como elementos importantes para la evaluación biológica del agua (Calderón, 2004). Aunque en Colombia existen numerosos sistemas lénticos, los estudios sobre ellos han sido parciales, aislados e insuficientes, lo que quizás se debe a la falta de investigadores dedicados a este tipo de ecosistemas (Roldán y Ramírez, 2008;Pinilla-Agudelo, 2016). En el caso de los macroinvertebrados acuáticos, se evidencia una tendencia a investigar principalmente el papel de energía de esta comunidad en los ríos (Montoya y Aguirre, 2009;Zúñiga, 2010;Martínez-Rodríguez y Pinilla, 2014;Roldán et al, 2014).…”
