    Integration of biophysical connectivity in the spatial optimization of coastal ecosystem services

    Get PDF
    Ecological connectivity in coastal oceanic waters is mediated by dispersion of the early life stages of marine organisms and conditions the structure of biological communities and the provision of ecosystem services. Integrated management strategies aimed at ensuring long-term service provision to society do not currently consider the importance of dispersal and larval connectivity. A spatial optimization model is introduced to maximise the potential provision of ecosystem services in coastal areas by accounting for the role of dispersal and larval connectivity. The approach combines a validated coastal circulation model that reproduces realistic patterns of larval transport along the coast, which ultimately conditions the biological connectivity and productivity of an area, with additional spatial layers describing potential ecosystem services. The spatial optimization exercise was tested along the coast of Central Chile, a highly productive area dominated by the Humboldt Current. Results show it is unnecessary to relocate existing management areas, as increasing no-take areas by 10% could maximise ecosystem service provision, while improving the spatial representativeness of protected areas and minimizing social conflicts. The location of protected areas was underrepresented in some sections of the study domain, principally due to the restriction of the model to rocky subtidal habitats. Future model developments should encompass the diversity of coastal ecosystems and human activities to inform integrative spatial management. Nevertheless, the spatial optimization model is innovative not only for its integrated ecosystem perspective, but also because it demonstrates that it is possible to incorporate time-varying biophysical connectivity within the optimization problem, thereby linking the dynamics of exploited populations produced by the spatial management regime.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables; 1 graphical abstract.

    Water content-water activity-glass transition temperature relationships of spray-dried borojó as related to changes in color and mechanical properties

    The water content-water activity-glass transition temperature relationships of commercial spray-dried borojó powder, with and without maltodextrin, have been studied as related to changes in color and mechanical properties. The GAB and Gordon and Taylor models were well fitted to the sorption and glass transition data, respectively. The Boltzman equation adequately described the evolution of the mechanical parameter characterized in the samples with the difference between the experimental temperature and the glass transition temperature (T g) of the sample. The color of the samples showed a sigmoid change with water activity. The changes in the mechanical properties of borojó powder related to collapse development started when the sample moved to the rubbery state and began to be significant at about 10 °C above T g. The increase in the molecular mobility from this point on also favors browning reactions. Maltodextrin presence slows the caking kinetics but induces color changes to spray-dried borojó powderThe authors thank the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion and the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo regional (FEDER) for the financial support throughout Project AGL2010-22176 and the Project UTCH-NUFFIC (NPT/COL/073) for the grant given to LH Mosquera.Mosquera, LH.; Moraga Ballesteros, G.; Fernández De Córdoba Castellá, PJ.; Martínez Navarrete, N.
