Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Trayectorias de rehabilitación del bosque de manglar de la cgsm" ?
Restoration Ecology to the Future: A call for new paradigm. Restoration for the Future: Endpoints, Targets, and Indicators of Progress and Success.
Q3. What is the main purpose of this research?
Projecting an increase in interstitial salinity, based on the records of the last three years, the system will collapse in a short term (10 years), showing how vulnerable CGSM is to saline increases and its need for effective management actions implementation.
Q4. What was the cause of the death of mangroves in the Ciénaga Grande?
Trayectorias de rehabilitación del bosque de manglar de la CGSMIn the 90´s, Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM) mangroves died due to high levels of salinity in soil.
Q5. What is the purpose of this research?
This research opens the door for understanding the patterns and dynamics of restored ecosystem in the long term, and provides inputs and technical basis for planning new restoration strategies, management and modeling in an estuarine complex, which also would be applied to other mangrove ecosystems.
Q6. What is the purpose of the PROCIENAGA project?
This fact stimulated the reopening of five natural channels to reduce salinity and improve the forests’ conditions (PROCIENAGA Project).
Q7. What is the description of the study?
Under an optimistic scenario, the system will reach stability in a long term (> 100 years) and coexistence of the three mangrove species, with a clear A. germinans dominance.
Q8. Why was the DP and CT analysis restricted?
The DP and CT analysis was restricted due to the high variability in the database, although it showed ecosystem functionality maintenance in all stations.
Q9. What is the purpose of this study?
In order to make a historical evaluation of mangrove rehabilitation trajectories, summarize the lessons learned with the rehabilitation project implemented and to simulate future scenarios; this study used a principal components analysis with hierarchical classification to describe the changes of variables over time, its relationship with the abiotic environment (interstitial salinity and temperature -0.5m, flood level), species composition and structure assembly (age composition, Basal Area-AB and the Importance Value Index-IVI) and ecological functionality (DP- Availability of propagules and Growth Rate-TC) in five stations (Rinconada- RIN, Caño Grande-CGE, Aguas Negras-ANE, Kilómetro 22-KM22 and Luna-LUN).
Q10. What is the name of the project?
A la Universidad Nacional de Colombia por hacerme una persona más integra y por abrirme las puertas hace ya ocho años cuando me inicie en esta aventura de ser bióloga.
Q11. What is the main theme of the paper?
El proyecto de rehabilitación “PROCIENAGA” y el monitoreo ambiental de la CGSM 20 2.2 ESTACIONES DE MONITOREO Y DISEÑO DE MUESTREO.
