El estudio las "Macrófitas del Lago Titicaca (Sitio Ramsar), Condición de Hábitat para la Presencia de Aves Silvestres Acuáticas Neotropicales", lo realicé, durante los meses de febrero a agosto del 2006. Los objetivos específicos fueron: Primero, determinar la influencia de los factores naturales y antrópicos sobre los macrófitos, estableciendo la presencia de aves silvestres acuáticas en el lago Titicaca. Segundo, determinar la presencia de poblaciones de aves silvestres acuáticas neotropicales asociadas a diferentes tipos de hábitat en el ecosistema lago Titicaca (totoral, llachal - totoral y espejos de agua). Tercero, plantear propuestas de lineamientos de conservación y manejo de recursos naturales del lago Titicaca como Sitio Ramsar. La metodología por objetivos fue: Primero, lndice de Evaluación de Hábitat. Segundo: estimación poblacional de aves (transectos lineal...

Se evaluó la alteración de hábitat y disminución de biodiversidad en el lago Titicaca – Perú ocasionada por el descenso del nivel de agua a causa del trasvase a Bolivia por la compuerta del río Desaguadero. Se utilizó el Índice de Idoneidad del Hábitat (HSI), método de cuadrantes para macrófitos y transectos lineales para aves. Los resultados indican, el HSI establece dependencia entre hábitat y biodiversidad (3,810 msnm). Con lluvia >765 mm (promedio encima de normal) entre 2001 y 2019, se registró, en los últimos 11 años, una cota <3,809 msnm, esto es >1 m de diferencia, atribuyéndose al trasvase de agua a Bolivia desde el 2008. La alteración de hábitat es calificada como mala. En una escala de 0 a 100%, el totoral califica 35, el llachal – totoral 32.5 y el espejo de agua 27. Hay eutrofización del agua con niveles altos de nitratos y fósforo, aumento >10°C de ...

In aquatic ecosystems, sediments are reservoirs of heavy metals when their waters are exposed. The purpose of the study was to quantify metals in surface sediments of the interior bay of Puno, Lake Titicaca, Peru. From january to november 2016 of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, As and Hg concentrations were analyzed in the surface sediments of six selected environmental sampling stations by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. The metals were analyzed by acid digestion where their quantification was by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry with axial view (ICP-AES). When comparing the results with the selected environmental standard, all the elements had concentrations in the recommended ranges, although statistically significant differences existed between the stations (p<0,05). The As and Hg, presented similarities in their values (0,0001 mg.L-1) between the stations. As and Hg, presented ...

The inner Puno bay is a restricted area and one of the habitats of Lake Titicaca with high anthropization, where some organic and inorganic elements may be exceeding the thresholds allowable concentrations. The aim of the research was to determine interactively total metals available in the waters of the inner Puno bay of Lake Titicaca, Peru. It was conducted between January and November 2016 by a non-probabilistic for convenience and applying the theoretical method by comparison among six stations of selection. Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd,As, Hg were the determined and quantified elements using atomic absorption spectrometry by inductively coupled plasma with axial view (ICP-AES). It was observed that between the stations there were no statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) when there was an availability of exposure among all the elements, although when comparing each element per station...
