چکیده مقاله :
زمینه و هدف: در این مطالعه میزان آسیب پذیری و پاسخ اکوسیستم های مانگرو به اثرات پیش بینی شده تغییر اقلیم مورد بررسی و تجزیه تحلیل قرار خواهد گرفت. تعیین پاسخ اکوسیستم های جنگلی مانگروها به افزایش جهانی سطح آب دریا، درجه حرارت و تغییرات الگوی بارش ناشی از تغییر اقلیم بسیار پیچیده خواهد بود. انتظار میرود که این اکوسیستم ها پاسخی سینرژیک به ترکیبی از اثرات ناشی از تغییر اقلیم ، فاکتورهای آنترپوژنیک و حوادث طبیعی نشان دهند. روش بررسی: در این پژوهش مشخص شد افزایش تراز آبی دریا محتمل ترین و بزرگترین تهدید ناشی از تغییر اقلیم بر جنگل های مانگرو خواهد بود. دامنه جرومدی و میزان تأمین رسوب در جنگل های مانگرو دو فاکتور عمده و موثر پاسخ مانگروها به افزایش تراز آبی دریا به شمار میروند. یافته ها: در صورتیکه پروسه های افزایش ارتفاع رسوب به عنوان پروسه های جبران وجود نداشته باشند، مانگروهای سمت دریا از بین خواهند رفت و هرچه دامنه جزرومدی منطقه ای بیشتر باشد مانگروها خسارات کمتری را متحمل می شوند. این پاسخ ها به توپوگرفی منطقه نیز بستگی دارد که امکان مهاجرت مانگروها را به سمت خشکی تعیین میکند. بسیاری از پاسخ های مانگروها به این اثرات ناشی از تغییر اقلیم را نمی توان از یک مکان به مکان دیگر برون یابی کرد و ویژه یک منطقه خاص می باشند. بحث و نتیجه گیری: برخی از اقدامات سازگاری در مناطق ساحلی در مقابل اثرات تغییر اقلیم شامل طراحی سیستم های دفاع از مناطق ساحلی مثل خاکریز ها، کاشت و احداث جنگل های مانگرو، ساخت تاسیسات در مقابل سیل، عقب نشینی از خط ساحلی و مدیریت آرایش جدید ساحل، تهیه نقشه های ریسک و هشدار و آگاهی به ساکنین می باشد.
چکیده انگلیسی:
Background and Objectives: In this study, we reviewed the state of knowledge of mangrove vulnerability and responses to predicted climate change impacts. It would be complex and difficult to identify response to sea level rise, increasing temperature and precipitation pattern changes. Mangrove ecosystems are expected to exhibit a synergistic response to a combination of the climatic, anthropogenic and natural impacts Methods: Among all climate change impacts, relative sea-level rise may be the greatest threat to mangroves. Tidal gauge renege and the rate of sediment supply are the most important factors in mangroves forest response to the sea level rise. Results: If the compensation factors like surface sediment elevation augment did not work, mangroves seaward might depredate. On the other hand, the larger tide range in an area would result the lower mangrove damage. These responses would relate to the site-specific topographic properties which could determine possibility of mangrove landward migration. Most of the mangroves responses to the impact of climate change will be site-specific, also it would be impossible to extrapolate these responses from one place to other places. Discussion and Conclusion: Some of the adaptation measures in coastal areas against the climate change impacts include designing coastal defense systems such as embankments, planting and constructing mangrove forests, building flood facilities, retreating from the shoreline and managing the new shoreline, mapping risk and warnings and awareness to residents.
