Patrones de distribución y estructura de la vegetación en el gradiente de humedales costeros El Castaño, Chiapas, México

Abstract: Introduction: The characteristics of coastal wetlands are the result of hydrogeomorphological interactions between the continent and the ocean, which cause an environmental gradient, hat results in different vegetation types such as mangroves, freshwater marshes, swamp forests and palm swamps. Objective: To characterize the hydroperiod and physicochemical variables of water and soil and their effect on the distribution of vegetation in the Sistema de Humedales El Castaño. Methods: A total of 11 permanent sampl… Show more

“…Thus, the accumulation of salts is associated with soils with textures showing a high clay content, low permeability, and reduced leaching, promoting the concentration of salts and ions such as SO 4 2− , Cl − , Na + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ , which are predominantly salt-forming agents [63]. Salinity in coastal wetlands is basically determined by hydroperiod, tidal fluctuations, seawater salinity, changes in sea level, freshwater inputs from rivers, precipitation, and groundwater [64][65][66].…”

“…Peat up to 7 m thick has been reported in Jamaica in a wetland area covering around 220 hectares, as well as on other Caribbean islands (Harty et al 1991). In Mexico, peatlands have been identified in the southern coastal plains, mainly in Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche and Chiapas states (Rincón-Pérez et al 2020;Sjögersten et al 2021;Cejudo et al 2022).…”
