Abstract: Se evaluó la acumulación de carbono orgánico y nutrientes en testigos de sedimento datados con 210Pb de la marisma costera Pantanos de Villa. Se extrajeron dos testigos de sedimento de 30 cm de longitud, se analizaron submuestras para medir carbono orgánico total (COT), nitrógeno total (NT) e isótopos (δ13C y δ15N). Las tasas de acumulación de sedimentos (TAS) se calcularon utilizando el método de concentración inicial constante (CIC), la acumulación de carbono y nutrientes se calcularon utilizando TAS y los contenidos de COT y NT. Las diferencias estadísticas fueron analizadas mediante ANOVA. La tasa de sedimentación obtenida (~0.55 cm año- 1) coincidió con la media global para ecosistemas de marismas costeros (0.6 cm año-1); aunque fue mayor que la observada en sistemas preservados (~0.40 cm año-1). Luego de la expansión urbana y el aumento en las descargas de aguas residuales que comenzaron a principios de la década de 1970 se registraron flujos altos de COT y NT llegando a valores de 416.4 ± 65.0 y 0.7 ± 0.1 g m−2 año-1 respectivamente. Asimismo se encontraron valores de δ13C significativamente más ligeros (-17.3 ± 0.8 ‰), indicando una mayor deposición de material no terrestre durante el mismo período, mientras que los valores de δ15N significativamente más pesados (+10.1 ± 2.3 ‰) sugieren una mayor influencia antropogénica proveniente de las descargas de aguas residuales. Las tasas de acumulación significativamente más altas durante las décadas de 1970 y 1980 comprueban el papel que cumplen los ecosistemas de marismas costeros como mitigadores de impactos antropogénicos.
The accumulation of organic carbon and nutrients were evaluated in sediment cores dated with 210Pb from “Pantanos de Villa” coastal marsh. Two 30 cm long sediment cores were extracted, subsampled, and analyzed to measure total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (NT) and isotopes (δ13C and δ15N). Sediment accumulation rates (SAR) were calculated using the constant initial concentration method (CIC), carbon and nutrient accumulation rate were calculated using SAR and the contents of TOC and NT. Statistical differences were analyzed using ANOVA. The sedimentation rate obtained (~0.55 cm year-1) concurred with the global mean for coastal marsh ecosystems (0.6 cm year-1); although it was higher than the observed in preserved systems (~0.40 cm year-1). After urban expansion and the increase of wastewater discharges that began in the early 1970’s, high flows of TOC and NT were measured, reaching values of 416.4 ± 65.0 and 0.7 ± 0.1 g m−2 year-1 respectively. Likewise, during this time, significantly lighter values of δ13C were found (-17.3 ± 0.8 ‰) indicating a greater deposition of non-terrestrial material during the same period, while significantly heavier δ15N values (+10.1 ± 2.3 ‰) suggest a greater anthropogenic influence from wastewater discharges. The significantly higher accumulation rates during the 1970’s and 1980’s demonstrate the important role that coastal marsh ecosystems play in mitigating anthropogenic impacts.
