Abstract
En áreas recreativas el tránsito humano provoca alteraciones en el horizonte superficial del suelo, destruyendo parte o la totalidad de éste, reduciendo la porosidad y modificando el microambiente edáfico. La mesofauna edáfica, por habitar principalmente en los horizontes superficiales del suelo, resulta ser un buen indicador de este impacto antrópico. Se evaluó la distribución de ácaros oribátidos y colémbolos de suelo frente al impacto del tránsito humano en el área recreativa del Vivero Dunícola "Florentino Ameghino" de Miramar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Se consideraron tres zonas de impacto: máximo, medio y mínimo. Se extrajeron los microartrópodos y se determinaron hasta nivel de especie colémbolos y oribátidos. Se calculó riqueza específica, diversidad y paridad por sitio y horizonte. Se realizó un análisis de correspondencia y se elaboró un índice de impacto teniendo en cuenta los diferentes horizontes y la frecuencia de especies. Se hallaron 29 especies de ácaros oribátidos y 19 especies de colémbolos. La diversidad (H´) fue significativamente diferente entre los sitios de máximo y de mínimo impacto. El análisis factorial de correspondencia definió tres grupos de acuerdo al grado de alteración de los horizontes superficiales y las características pedológicas (horizonte orgánico o mineral). El índice de impacto (II M) en la zona de mayor tránsito fue II M=9 mientras que en la de mínimo impacto fue II M<1. Los resultados demostraron que la comunidad de microartrópodos considerada resultó ser un buen indicador de impacto antrópico y adecuada para bioevaluar el estado del área estudiada.
Human trampling in recreational areas causes alterations in the soil surface horizon, partially or totally disrupting soil structure, reducing porosity and modifying the edaphic microenvironment. Soil mesofauna, is a good indicator of this human impact since it inhabits mainly soil surface horizons. We evaluated the changes in edaphic oribatid mite (Acari) and springtail (Collembola) communities sufferering from the impact of human trampling in the recreational area of Vivero Dunícola "Florentino Ameghino" Miramar, in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Three impact areas were considered: maximum, medium and minimum. Collembola and oribatid were determined to species level. Species richness, diversity and parity by site and horizon were calculated. A correspondence analysis was carried out and an impact index elaborated taking into account the different horizons and species frequencies. Twenty-nine species of oribatid mites and 19 species of Collembola were found. Diversity (H´) was significantly different between the maximum and minimum impact sites. Factorial Correspondence Analysis defined three groups in terms of degree of alteration of the surfacel horizon and pedological characteristics (organic or mineral horizons). The value of the impact index (II M) in the maximum trampling area was II M=9 while in that of minimum impact it was II M < 1. The results support the usefulness of the microarthropod community as an indicator of human impact and their suitability for bioevaluating the state of the study area.
