Abstract

Chile's central-south region has experienced significant land use changes in the past fifty years, affecting native forests, agriculture, and urbanization. This article examines these changes and assesses their impact on native forest cover and agricultural land. Agricultural data for Chile (1980–2020) were obtained from public Chilean institutions (INE and ODEPA). Data on land use changes in central and south Chile (1975–2018), analysed from satellite images, were obtained from indexed papers. Urban area expansion in Chile between 1993 and 2020 was examined using publicly available data from MINVIU, Chile. Additionally, photovoltaic park data was sourced from SEA, Chile. Field crop coverage, primarily in central and southern Chile, decreased from 1,080,000 ha in 1980 to 667,000 ha in 2020, with notable decreases observed in cereal and legume crops. Conversely, the coverage of export-oriented orchards and vineyards increased from 194,947 ha to 492,587 ha. Forest plantations expanded significantly, ranging from 18% per decade in northern central Chile to 246% in the Maule and Biobío regions. This was accompanied by a 12.7–27.0% reduction per 10 years in native forest. Urban areas have experienced significant growth of 91% in the last 27 years, concentrated in the Mediterranean climate region. Solar photovoltaic parks have begun to increasingly replace thorn scrub (Espinal) and agricultural land, mirroring transformations seen in other Mediterranean nations like Spain and Portugal.

Abstract

Ponencia presentada en: XII Congreso de la Asociación Española de Climatología celebrado en Santiago de Compostela entre el 19 y el 21 de octubre de 2022. [ES]La magnitud del cambio climático reciente en España es variable espacialmente, y susceptible de cartografía con muy alta resolución espacial (100 x 100 m) y evaluación con alta fiabilidad. Se usan datos de más de 1.000 estaciones de la Agencia Estatal de Meteorología de 1961 a 2020. Se emplean modelos de regresión lineal múltiple para explicar la variabilidad geoespacial de los valores medios de temperatura máxima anual y mínima anual, y kriging universal como método de inferencia espacial. Entre 1961-1990 (‘clima pasado’) y 1991-2020 (‘clima reciente’) existe en el territorio nacional un incremento medio (± desviación estándar) de la temperatura máxima anual media y la temperatura mínima anual media de 0,75±0,15 ºC y 0,73±0,10 ºC, respectivamente. Este calentamiento es muy heterogéneo geográficamente, siendo el incremento térmico superior en primavera y verano que en otoño e invierno. Se discuten algunos factores asociados a este cambio y se identifica un calentamiento más acentuado en algunas áreas metropolitanas por el efecto de isla de calor urbana. [EN]The magnitude of recent climate change in Spain is spatially variable, and susceptible to mapping with very high spatial resolution (100 x 100 m) and high reliability assessment. Data from more than 1,000 stations of the State Meteorological Agency from 1961 to 2020 were used. Multiple linear regression models were used to explain the geospatial variability of the annual mean maximum and minimum temperature, and universal kriging as an inference method. space. Between 1961-1990 (‘past climate’) and 1991-2020 (‘recent climate’), there was a mean increase (± standard deviation) in the annual mean maximum and minimum temperature of 0.75±0.15 ºC and 0.73 ±0.10 ºC, respectively. This warming is very heterogeneous geographically, with a higher temperature increase in spring and summer than in autumn and winter. Some factors associated with this change are discussed and a more intense warming is identified in some metropolitan areas due to the urban heat island effect.

Abstract

Los estudiantes de las distintas carreras de grado, exceptuando a las filologías, no reciben ningún tipo de formación relacionada con la comunicación oral y escrita. Esta carencia formativa puede detectarse en su desempeño en la exposición pública de contenidos, y su explicación a través de trabajos y exámenes. Además, estas carencias desmotivan a los estudiantes para llevar a cabo trabajo autónomo en forma de seminarios y exposiciones voluntarias, favoreciendo una recepción pasiva de contenidos, que repercute negativamente en su aprendizaje. El presente proyecto innova en la enseñanza de contenidos a los estudiantes de Ecología y Ecología de los Recursos Naturales (ERNA) de la Facultad de CC. Biológicas. La estrategia docente consiste en potenciar las habilidades de comunicación oral y escrita de los estudiantes y motivarlos para utilizar las herramientas de comunicación virtual aprendidas divulgando los contenidos del temario de su asignatura (Ecología y ERNA). La divulgación de estos contenidos se llevará a cabo a través de la elaboración de material audiovisual y publicación en la revista de divulgación Principia Magazine. Mediante la ejecución de las actividades planteadas en este proyecto i) se fomentó el trabajo autónomo favoreciendo la participación de los estudiantes en actividades voluntarias como la presentación de seminarios; ii) se mejoró la expresión oral y escrita de los estudiantes; iii) se mejoró la habilidad de los estudiantes en la creación de material docente en formato audiovisual; iv) se motivó a los estudiantes en la divulgación científica.

Abstract

To this day, merely 8% of all estimated fungi species are documented and, in certain regions, its biodiversity is practically unknown. Inside the Fungi Kingdom, macrofungi and lichens assume a critical part in the ecosystem functionality and have a historical connection to mankind's social, clinical and nutritious uses. Despite their importance, the diversity of these groups has been widely overlooked in the sub-Antarctic Region of Chile, a crucial area in the study of climate change due to its extraordinary biodiversity and its proximity to Antarctica. Few studies regarding both groups have been conducted in this sub-Antarctic Region and the data are still scarce and inaccessible, as these are only published in specialised journals, unreachable to local communities.

Abstract

In 2018, a cross-sectional study was conducted in six communities of Tecoluca, Bajo Lempa (El Salvador). Weight, height, sitting-height, skinfolds thickness and head, arm, and waist circumferences were measured in a sample of 334 schoolchildren. Nutritional status, body composition, and Extended Composite Index for Anthropometric Failure (ECIAF) were estimated. The Food Security Perception Survey (Spanish acronym: EPSA) was applied to 143 households. Anthropometric failure was observed in 37.5% of the schoolchildren. Association between stunting and underweight in boys and stunting and weight excess in girls was observed. About 58.7% of the households suffered from food insecurity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Associated with the introduction of alien species in a new area, interactions with other native species within the recipient community occur, reshaping the original community and resulting in a unique assemblage. Yet, the differences in community assemblage between native and invaded ranges remain unclear. Mediterranean grasslands provide an excellent scenario to study community assembly following transcontinental naturalisation of plant species. Here, we compared the community resemblance of plant communities in Mediterranean grasslands from both the native (Spain) and invaded (Chile) ranges. We used a novel approach, based on network analysis applied to co-occurrence analysis in plant communities, allowing us to study the co-existence of native and alien species in central Chile. This useful methodology is presented as a step forward in invasion ecology studies and conservation strategies. We found that community structure differed between the native and the invaded range, with alien species displaying a higher number of connections and, therefore, acting as keystones to sustain the structure within the invaded community. Alien species acting like keystones within the Chilean grassland communities might exacerbate the threat posed by biological invasions for the native biodiversity assets. Controlling the spread of the alien species identified here as keystones should help managing potential invasion in surrounding areas. Network analyses is a free, easy-to-implement and straightforward visual tool that can be widely used to reveal shifts in native communities and elucidate the role of multiple invaders into communities.

Abstract

Plant traits such as phenological development, growth rate, stress tolerance and seeds production may play an important role in the process of acclimatisation to new environments for introduced plants. Experiments that distinguish phenotypic plasticity from ecotypic differentiation would allow an understanding of the role of plant traits in the invasion process. We quantified the variation in phenological and overall performance traits associated with the invasion process for three herbaceous species native to Spain and invasive to Chile (Trifolium glomeratum, Hypochaeris glabra and Leontodon saxatilis). We grew plants from native and exotic populations along rainfall gradients in outdoor common gardens, located in the native and the introduced ranges and measured plant survival, phenology (days to flowering), biomass and seed output. Days to flowering was positively correlated with precipitation of the origin population for T. glomeratum and the native populations of H. glabra, but this pattern was not adaptive, as it was not associated with an increase in performance traits of these species. Phenology may instead reflect ecotypic differentiation to the environmental conditions of the original populations. Comparison between ranges (i.e. performance in both common gardens) was only possible for L. saxatilis. This species showed little variation in phenology and both native and exotic populations had higher fitness in the introduced range. This suggests that plasticity enhances invasiveness through increased propagule pressure in the novel environment. Our findings highlight the utility of common garden experiments in examining patterns of phenological and performance traits that relate to species invasiveness.

Abstract

Scientists have been interested in many topics driven by biological invasions, such as shifts in the area of distribution of plant species and rapid evolution. Invasiveness of exotic plant species depends on variations on morphological and reproductive traits potentially associated with reproductive fitness and dispersal ability, which are expected to undergo changes during the invasion process. Numerous Asteraceae are invasive and display dimorphic fruits, resulting in a bet-hedging dispersal strategy –wind-dispersed fruits versus animal-dispersed fruits–. We explored phenotypic differentiation in seed morphology and reproductive traits of exotic (Chilean) and native (Spanish) populations of Hypochaeris glabra. We collected flower heads from five Spanish and five Chilean populations along rainfall gradients in both countries. We planted seeds from the ten populations in a common garden trial within the exotic range to explore their performance depending on the country of origin (native or exotic) and the environmental conditions at population origin (precipitation and nutrient availability). We scored plant biomass, reproductive traits and fruit dimorphism patterns. We observed a combination of bet-hedging strategy together with phenotypic differentiation. Native populations relied more on bet-hedging while exotic populations always displayed greater proportion of wind-dispersed fruits than native ones. This pattern may reflect a strategy that might entail a more efficient long distance dispersal of H. glabra seeds in the exotic range, which in turn can enhance the invasiveness of this species.

Abstract

Understanding the mechanisms that support the arrival, establishment and spread of species over an introduced range is crucial in invasion ecology. We analysed the unintentionally introduced herbaceous species that are naturalised in the five Mediterranean-climate regions. There is an asymmetry in the species flows among regions, being the Iberian Peninsula the main donor to the other regions. At interregional scale, the species’ capacity to spread among regions is related to the ecological versatility of the species in the donor area (Iberian Peninsula). At intraregional scale, the species’ capacity to successfully occupy a complete region first depends on the time elapsed from its introduction and afterwards on the degree of occurrence in the region of origin, which is commonly related to its chance of coming into contact with humans. Information on exotic species in their origin region provides insights into invasion process and decision-making to reduce the risks of future invasions.

Abstract

Dentro del marco Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), se contempla la internacionalización de la docencia de Grado, con objeto de facilitar la participación de estudiantes extranjeros y la colaboración de los españoles con el resto de universidades europeas. La asignatura troncal de Ecología, impartida con carácter anual en el tercer curso del Grado en Biología y consolidada desde hace décadas en el actual departamento de Ecología, estudia los fenómenos físicos y procesos ecológicos que configuran la estructura y función de la ecosfera. Tal y como establece el nuevo grado, la asignatura está estructurada en diferentes bloques de contenidos con parte práctica y teórica. Transcurridos tres años de la institución del Grado en Biología como resultado del Proceso de Bolonia, el equipo que presenta este proyecto ha detectado deficiencias del material docente de la asignatura de Ecología, que influyen negativamente en la internacionalización del alumnado, ya sea el alumnado extranjero que quiera cursar sus estudios en la UCM, ya sea el alumnado español que, cursados sus estudios, pueda insertarse en equipos de trabajo extranjeros. Las carencias detectadas en el material docente se refieren fundamentalmente a dos puntos: i) la inexistencia de material didáctico en lengua inglesa; ii) la utilización de software estadístico privado de uso limitado internacionalmente. Estas carencias son particularmente relevantes si se toma en consideración que la Ecología es una asignatura del ámbito científico, donde la lengua vehicular es el inglés y su docencia también implica proporcionar al alumnado las herramientas, en este caso el uso de programas estadísticos, que les permita insertarse profesionalmente en equipos internacionales de investigación. Adicionalmente, el uso de programas estadísticos que requieren de licencia, impide a los estudiantes trabajar de forma autónoma fuera de la universidad, lo que repercute en su dedicación a la asignatura y en la comprensión de los e

Abstract

In Chile’s Mediterranean region, over 18% of plant species are alien. This is particularly noteworthy in some agrosilvopastoral systems such as the espinales, which are functionally very similar to the Spanish dehesas and are of great ecological and socioeconomic interest. In the present paper we analyse Chile’s non-native flora, considering three scales of analysis: national, regional (the central region, presenting a Mediterranean climate) and at community level (the espinales within the central region). We compare this flora with that recorded in areas of the Iberian Peninsula with similar lithological and geomorphological characteristics, and land use. We discuss possible mechanisms that might have been operating in the floristic colonisation from the Mediterranean Basin to Chile’s Mediterranean region.
