| description | Considering the challenge that the economic, social and ecological systems face -in order to know and mitigate the global climatechange-, evidences of the functional structure of mangroves ecological system are presented revisiting the hypothesis presented byYáñez-Arancibia et al. (1998), and revised latter by Yáñez-Arancibia et al. (2010): “the mangroves as a critical forest habitat of thecoastal zone present accommodation responses to the environmental variability that induces global change playing an structural andfunctional role in the stability of the coastline, the persistence of habitats and biodiversity, the metabolism of the ecosystem, reducingrisks and uncertainty for the sustainable development of the use of its resources”. Recent evidences indicates that mangroves in the Gulfof Mexico follows this hypothesis and –as answer to climate change and its effects in the coastal zone- shows a consistent pattern ofgeographical distribution colonizing all over the northern coast of the Gulf, including the Atlantic coast of Florida Peninsula because ofthe opportunity of “global tropicalization of the Gulf of Mexico”. Moreover, at present the four mangrove species in the Gulf of Méxicoare distributed in the Texas state U.S. We conclude that mangrove ecosystem is a “sentinel-ecosystem” in front of climate change impactin the Gulf of Mexico. |

Frente al desafío que enfrentan los sistemas económicos, sociales y ecológicos de la zona costera, se presentan evidencias de estructura funcional del sistema ecológico de manglar, revisitando la hipótesis planteada por Yáñez-Arancibia et al. (1998) y revisada más adelante por Yáñez-Arancibia et al. (2010): “los manglares como hábitat forestado crítico de la zona costera presentan respuestas de acomodación frente a la variabilidad ambiental que induce el cambio global, desarrollando un papel estructural y funcional clave en la estabilidad de la línea de costa, la persistencia de hábitats y biodiversidad, el metabolismo del ecosistema, reduciendo riesgos e incertidumbre para el desarrollo sustentable del uso de sus recursos”. Evidencias recientes indican que los manglares en el Golfo de México responden a esta hipótesis y -como respuesta al cambio climático y sus efectos en la zona costera- muestran un patrón ampliado y consistente de distribución, colonizando todo el Golfo hacia el norte, incluyendo la costa Atlántica de la Península de Florida, ante la oportunidad de la “tropicalización global del Golfo de México”. Más aún, actualmente las cuatro especies de manglar del Golfo de México ya se encuentran distribuidas en el Estado de Texas. Concluimos que el ecosistema de manglar es un “ecosistema-centinela” frente al impacto del cambio climático en el Golfo de México.
