Environmental and ecological studies in Chile and Ecuador
Overview
Ecological research in Chile and Ecuador has focused on the impacts of human activity and resource management on various ecosystems.
In Chile, studies have addressed terrestrial and marine environments. In the Arauco commune, forestry extractivism through the MAPA project has reportedly caused territorial fractures, affecting water resources and community health in Los Horcones. Meanwhile, marine research in the Golfo de Arauco identified a ‘Quality Paradox’ in deep sectors, where local benthic communities show signs of adaptation to low oxygen levels.
In Ecuador, research has examined both agricultural and coastal systems. In the Santa Elena province, studies compared agroecological and conventional horticultural systems, finding that agroecological management may improve soil structure and biological stability. Regarding marine environments in Santa Rosa, research indicated that solid waste, particularly plastic, acts as artificial habitats that modify the ecological dynamics of coastal ecosystems.
