Distribution of diatom communities in agricultural and mining watersheds of Southwest Spain

Urrea Clos, Gemma 05 November 2010 (has links)
Els sistemes aquàtics continental representen un dels ecosistemes més amenaçats a nivell mundial, com a conseqüència de l'ús intensiu quel'home en fa. La conca del Guadiana no està lliure d'aquestes pressions antròpiques. Les grans infraestructures hidràuliques i l'escorrentia provinent de l'agricultura són només exemples dels greus problemes que pateix la conca. Aquests problemes es fan especialment palesos en la zona alta de la conca, on l'escassetat d'aigua no fa més que agreujar el problema.Tot això ha generat la necessitat urgent d'avaluar l'estat de conservació d'aquests ecosistemes aquàtics continentals, poder determinar la mesura i la magnitud de les pertorbacions que els estan afectant i així proposar mesures de gestió destinades a restaurar-ne la integritat ecològica. El principal objectiu que presenta aquest és determinar els patrons de distribució de les comunitats de algals (amb una menció especial en el grup de les diatomees) i de les seves causes en la conca del Guadiana i associades, amb la finalitat d'establir i proposar eines que permetin avaluar l'estat de conservació de les masses d'aigua d'aquestes conques. / In many parts of the world freshwater ecosystems are intensely modified and degraded by human activities. Rivers have been altered since historical times, but such modifications have intensified in the last century. Water extraction and heavily regulated reservoirs are spread disturbances in the Guadiana network. Drainage from agricultural land in river systems results in large inputs of nitrates and phosphates that eutrophy river waters. Inputs of fertilizers and water extraction are especially remarkable in the North-East Guadiana watershed. The development of tools to assess ecological status of water bodies has been a key issue in the management of the freshwater ecosystems in the last decades in order to protect and restore the biological integrity of ecosystems. The present study aims to determine distributional patterns of benthic algae communities (with a special attention on diatom microflora) and their causes in Guadiana and associated watersheds in order to establish tools for assessing the conservation status of the water bodies in those watersheds.
