Resumen
El estudio de las características del contexto fisiográfico de una región; apoyado con sistemas de
información geográfica, insumos de percepción remota, y modelos de elevación digital; permite
analizar la distribución horizontal de especies vegetales de un manglar, coadyuvando con su delimitación
geográfica. El actual trabajo demuestra que existen potenciales condiciones fisiográficas
para la expansión del manglar en Nosara; por lo que su actual delimitación, por medio de mojones,
podría ser superada debido a la adaptabilidad vegetal, resultado del futuro incremento del nivel
del mar y por ende se recomienda un área geográfica adicional que ejerza una función dentro de
los planes maestros costeros como una zona de amortiguamiento, que no solo facilite la migración
adaptativa (resiliencia) de las especies vegetales del manglar, sino que permita a su vez crear planes
de manejo para el futuro.
Studying the characteristics of the physiographic context of a region, supported with geographic information systems, remote sensing inputs, and digital elevation models, allows to analyze the horizontal distribution of plant species of a mangrove, and this contributes its geographical delimitation. This paper shows that there are potential physiographic conditions for the expansion of the mangrove in Nosara. Thus, its current delimitation, by means of landmarks, could be overcome due to plant adaptability resulting from the future increase in sea level. Therefore, an additional geographical area is recommended to play a role within the coastal master plans as a buffer zone that not only facilitates the adaptive migration (resilience) of the vegetal species of the mangrove but also allows the creation of management plans for the future.
