Abstract (en):
Bogotá has a wide variety of natural and impacted vegetation covers, which require conservation and restoration actions to preserve the goods and services they provide as well as their biodiversity. However, a spatial analysis is necessary to locate which areas require these actions that will also become a source of information for decision making, especially in terms of conservation and connectivity between vegetation covers. We develop three models of resistance or conductance based on the quantification of physical, biotic and socio-economic criteria, defined by meetings with experts, and available cartographic resources that includes a functional analysis based on the ecological aspects of the vegetation cover and a group of mammals. The models obtained show the best conserved areas or least resistance for species and also indicate those areas with greater degradation and higher resistance. This information facilitates the zonification of restoration activities, particularly in mountain moors and transitional Andean forests. The models also complement the proposals made in the Ecological Structure of the District report with respect to connectivity, representativeness and number of protected areas, because from the functional view and the analysis of the composition and configuration of the landscape, it provides other inputs to complement the proposed strategies.
Abstract (es):
El Distrito Capital presenta una gran diversidad de coberturas naturales e intervenidas, que requieren acciones
de conservación y restauración para la preservación de los bienes y servicios que presta y su biodiversidad.
Sin embargo, es necesario contar con insumos espaciales que permitan ubicar las zonas que requieren de
estas acciones y que a su vez sean fuente para la toma de decisiones en especial en términos de conservación
y conectividad entre coberturas. Se desarrollaron tres modelos de resistencia o conductancia con base en
la cuantificación de criterios físicos, bióticos y socioeconómicos, definidos mediante reunión con expertos
e insumos cartográficos disponibles, que incluyeron además un análisis funcional relacionado con aspectos
ecológicos de la vegetación y un grupo de mamíferos. Los modelos obtenidos muestran las zonas de mayor
estado de conservación o menor resistencia para las especies y adicionalmente indica las zonas con mayor
intervención y mayor resistencia, estas con el fin de realizar una zonificación de las actividades de restauración
en especial en zonas de páramos y bosques transicionales altoandinos. Los modelos también complementan lo
propuesto en la Estructura Ecológica Distrital correspondiente a la conectividad, representatividad y cantidad
de áreas protegidas, ya que desde una mirada funcional y el análisis de la composición y configuración del
paisaje, aporta otros insumos que complementan las estrategias planteadas.
