Open-access Vascular plant species of the floating vegetation rafts from the Río de la Plata (Argentina)

Especies de plantas vasculares de las balsas de vegetación flotantes del Río de la Plata (Argentina)

Abstract

In South American rivers, Eichhornia crassipes and other floating plants intertwine and form floating rafts commonly known as "camalotales" which are especially abundant during flooding periods. During extraordinary floods, hectares of floating mats are drifted by the Plata Basin Rivers. In the Río de la Plata several reports suggest that many animal and plant species from subtropical latitudes colonizes the area through these large rafts. These episodes are very important from the economic point of view because they cause several troubles to navigation and other activities. On the other hand, benefits to biodiversity are conspicuous, and many authors consider this process vital to the Río de la Plata wetlands and forests. However, there is scarce knowledge about Eichhornia rafts plant species composition. With the aim of creating an exhaustive list of the flora of the Eichhornia rafts, we visited the Río de la Plata coast during a massive Eichhornia rafts arrival. Thirty-two plant species were recorded in three different plant assemblages: Eichhornia rafts sensu stricto, floating reeds (canutillares) and embalsados. In front of this unexpected we emphasize the need to include this phenomenon in regional biodiversity conservation plans.

Resumen

En los ríos sudamericanos, Eichhornia crassipes y otras plantas flotantes se entrelazan y forman balsas flotantes conocidas comúnmente como "camalotales" especialmente abundantes durante los períodos de inundación. Durante las inundaciones, grandes superficies de estas balsas flotantes son derivadas por los ríos de la Cuenca del Plata. En el Río de la Plata numerosos trabajos sugieren que muchas especies de animales y plantas de latitudes subtropicales colonizan el área a través de estas grandes balsas. Estos episodios son muy importantes desde el punto de vista económico debido a que causan varios problemas de navegación y otras actividades. Por otro lado, para la biodiversidad tiene beneficios evidentes, y muchos autores consideran este proceso vital para los humedales y bosques del Río de la Plata. Sin embargo, hay escaso conocimiento sobre la composición de las especies de plantas de los camalotales. Con el fin de crear una lista exhaustiva de su flora, visitamos la costa del Río de la Plata durante una llegada masiva. Treinta y dos especies de plantas se registraron en tres complejos diferentes: camalotales sensu stricto, pajonales flotantes (canutillares) y embalsados. Frente a este inesperado hecho, enfatizamos la necesidad de incluir este fenómeno en los planes regionales de conservación de la biodiversidad.

Introduction

In South American rivers, floating rafts, commonly known as camalotales or Eichhornia rafts, are especially abundant during flooding periods (Cabrera & Willink 1973). The Eichhornia rafts, as defined by Tur (1972), are associations of floating vascular plants dominated by the camalotes, or water hyacints, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms and E. azurea (Sw.) Kunth (Pontederiaceae), that are dragged downstream during flooding seasons. The rhizomes and intertwined roots of these plants support the weight of a wide diversity of animal species (Spegazzini 1905; Ihering 1911; Torres 1911; Burkart 1957; Cabrera 1964; Tur 1972; Katinas et al. 2013). Since E. crassipes became widespread in the tropical and subtropical rivers of the world as one of the worst invasive species, it forms analogue communities in many continents too (Lowe et al. 2004; GISD 2015). Troubles for navigation, fishing industry, and water intakes and problems associated with the ecological conditions of water bodies were reported in all its current geographical range (GISD 2015).

The Río de la Plata has got two mayor tributaries, the Paraná and the Uruguay rivers. Eichhornia assemblages are widespread along the floodplain of the Paraná River valley and its tributaries (Cabrera 1964). Cabrera (1971, 1976) considered that the camalotales are a Chacoan province community. However, wetlands and water plant communities are difficult to place into terrestrial biota based regionalizations (Neiff 2005). They are an important component of the Lower Paraguay and the Middle Paraná complexes of the Delta and islands of the Paraná and Uruguay Rivers Ecoregion (Matteucci 2012). In this area, which we consider the source of the rafts, the Eichhornia assemblages have been studied from the floristic, faunistic, and limnological point of view (see Sabattini & Lallana 2007 and bibliography cited there). The Uruguay River doesn't allow big extensions of this community because it has got high rocky shores, so the bigger amount of floating vegetation comes from the Paraná river.

The "canutillares" and the "embalsados" are floristic associations closely related with the Eichhornia assemblages. The former, also known as floating reeds (Burkart 1957), are dominated by floating grasses (e.g., Panicum elephantipes Nees ex Trin. or Paspalum repens PJ Bergius) and are transported in the same way as the Eichhornia rafts during flooding periods (Burkart 1957; Lahitte et al. 1997). The embalsados, on the other hand, are true floating islands constituted by a thick mud mattress and plant debris retained by the roots of aquatic and terrestrial herbs, shrubs and even small trees (Burkart 1957; Cabrera 1964, 1976; Tur 1972). The embalsados require for its formation certain stability in the hydrological conditions, which is why they are found in protected places, such as lagoons, oxbow lakes, and swamps, and are rarely carried by water currents (Schulz 1961; Tur 1972). It is considered that the first stage of formation of the embalsados begins with the colonization of the camalotales by the Cyperaceae Oxycaryum cubense (Poepp. & Kunth) Palla (Burkart 1957; Schulz 1961; Tur 1972). This species roots entraps mud forming an incipient soil that is later occupied by other marsh species (Burkart 1957).

Seasonal flooding in the basin covers the tidal plains, but there are extraordinary floods that affect large areas carrying large amounts of vegetation (Matteucci 2012). These exceptional events coincide with ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) years that bring heavy rainfall in the upper part of the basin (Schnack 2000). The massive arrival of large masses of Eichhornia rafts in the Río de la Plata during extreme flooding periods is a recurrent event, and has been repeated at least once on each decade during the twentieth century.

Despite the fact that the Eichhornia rafts movement through the rivers is a well-known phenomenon that is even published in the local newspapers because of the problems with navigation and snake-bites, the detail of the flora and fauna transported to the Río de la Plata is still very poorly known. There are isolated mentions of the transported fauna, for example Caiman latirostris (Anónimo 1905; Cabrera 1964), Pecari tajacu (Katinas et al. 2013), Panthera onca (Parish Robertson & Parish Robertson 1838; 1843; Burmeister 1879), Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, deers and birds (Torres 1911), Chthonerpeton indistnctum (Gudynas et al. 1988) and insects (Farina & Cicchino 2016). Papers regarding specifically with this topic include one report on the Ophidia and Gymnophiona specimens collected during the 1905 flooding (Ihering 1911), and a work focused on the flooding of 1976 (Achaval et al. 1979). Both studies were carried out in the Uruguayan side of the Río de la Plata. Hauman (1915) briefly mentioned the plants carried by the 1905 Eichhornia rafts, and this is the sole observation in the Argentinean side of the Río de la Plata. Brief comments on the transport of plant species on Eichhornia rafts are also found in Guerrero et al. (2012) and in Katinas et al. (2013).

Many authors consider that northern Buenos Aires province coastal biodiversity is higher than surrounding areas due to the contribution of species transported by the rafts (Spegazzini 1905; Cabrera & Dawson 1944; Ringuelet 1955; 1961; Burkart 1957; Agostini et al. 2012; Saibene et al. 2012; Guerrero et al. 2012; Agnolin et al. 2014; Guerrero 2014), but nevertheless, as pointed above, there is scarce information about the species composition of these rafts.

At the beginning of 2016, as a result of the floods of the Río de la Plata basin, the coasts of this watercourse were affected by the massive arrival of floating vegetation. The aim of the present contribution is to report for the first time the flora dragged by the Eichhornia rafts to the Río de la Plata coast at Buenos Aires province, the volume of vegetation transported and how far it can reach in the ocean. The plant list is an elementary step in biodiversity conservation planning and it is useful to study the raft dispersal process, with applications in biogeography.

Materials and Methods

The Eichhornia rafts arrived at the Buenos Aires river coast (Fig. 1) on January 15, 2016, reaching their highest areal coverage between 5 and 10 days later. Field trips were performed in January 23 to Bernal (Quilmes district; Fig. 2a), in January 28 to the Reserva Municipal y Refugio Educativo Rivera Norte -Municipal Reserve and Natural Educative Refuge Ribera Norte- (San Isidro district) and in February 11 to the coast of Punta Lara (Ensenada district). The arrival of rafts persisted until March 2016, progressively decreasing the volume of vegetation (Fig. 2b).

Plant species were identified, photographed, observed, and recorded. When taxonomic determination was necessary, the specimens were collected and deposited in the Museo de La Plata herbarium (LP). All species were identified by us following Zuloaga et al. (2008).

In order to document the covered tranche of the Eichhornia rafts in the Atlantic Ocean, we also added data of the vegetation that arrived to the marine Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires in Punta Médanos, Mar de Ajó, and San Bernardo localities (La Costa district).

We reviewed images from the Spot satellites to evaluate the size and displacement of the floating rafts in relation to other events. These images (SPOT6_20160205_1325202 and SPOT7_20160218_1323495) were provided by the Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (Argentina National Space Activities Commission, CONAE).

Results

Plant composition and associations

Thirty two species of vascular plants, dragged by the Plata river system to the northeast of the province of Buenos Aires, were recorded during the fieldwork (Tab. 1). The predominance of Eichhornia crassipes (Fig. 2c) in all the studied sites was remarkable.

Table 1
Vascular plants species found in the Eichhornia rafts. Hauman's list of plants (1915) was included. The only species found by Hauman (1915) but not found in this survey, is Limnobium laevigatum (Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd.) Heine.

In addition to most abundant floating plants, rooted coastal species such as Echinodorus grandiflorus, Gymnocoronis spilanthoides, Senecio bonariensis, Schoenoplectus californicus, and Araceae cf. Philodendron, were ripped off by the current and carried together with the camalotales.

Large sectors intermixed with the camalotal, were dominated by an association comparable to the canutillares (Fig. 2e). The plants belonging to this association in Bernal were: Panicum elephantipes as dominant, Mikania sp. and Enhydra anagallis (Fig. 2d). Floating plants of this association were mainly Salvinia biloba and Eichhornia crassipes.

We also found rooted species forming embalsados in Bernal with portions of soil of approximately 0.2 m diameter and 30 cm. thick, formed by silt and rest of plants in decomposition intertwined by the roots. They supported the following plants: Salvinia biloba, Azolla filiculoides, Oxycaryum cubense, Pycreus megapotamicus, Poaceae indet., Pontederia rotundifolia, Polygonum sp., Hydrocotyle ranunculoides, Lilaeopsis carolinensis, Aeschynomene rudis and Aeschynomene sp. and Fabaceae cf. Vigna sp. There were other rests composed of Oxycaryum cubense and Salvinia biloba, with a lower soil development (Fig. 2f), that might be interpreted as the primary stage of embalsados formation according to previous authors (Burkart 1957; Schulz 1961; Tur 1972).

We also found many tree branches, trunks, tables, expanded polyethylene, bottles and other plastic residues. Anecdotally we also found an onion (Allium cepa L.) coincidently with Achaval et al. (1979) observations.

Size

Satellite images allowed us to detect an almost linear raft near Reserva Natural Punta Lara (Fig. 1) which had a total length that exceeded 2 km. Unfortunately, there are no clear images of the maximum peaks of floating plant invasion, because the sky was cloudy. As seen in the satellite images (Fig. 1) and from the coast (Fig. 2a), the Eichhornia rafts maintained a linear and meandering form, like the form they had while they travel inside Paraná Delta water courses (Fig. 2b). Figures 1 illustrate the arrival of vegetation by satellite images in the area of Punta Lara and Figure 2b shows the displacement of the Eichhornia rafts along the Paranacito River.

Distance reached

As the rafts travelled to the south and surpassed the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, part of them arrived to the maritime Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires. From the mouth of the Río de la Plata to the places where they were found, the plants must have travelled at least 50-70 km. The plants deposited in the coast by the sea currents were in different degrees of disintegration, for example: Salvinia biloba, Pistia stratiotes, Eichornia crassipes, E. azurea, Schoenoplectus californicus, and Myriophyllum aquaticum. In addition, trunks, branches, rhizomes and palm leaves were also deposited in the coast.

Discussion

The list of plants recorded in the last flooding event of January 2016 analyzed here by far exceeds the number of species previously reported by Hauman (1915) and Achaval et al. (1979). As mentioned by these authors, Eichhornia rafts studied were dominated by Eichhornia crassipes. Plant species richness was higher than expected based on previous works, and even more important, we found that not only floating plants were transported, but also rooted herbs, climbers and small bushes.

The transport of embalsados along the Paraná River had already been noted by Tur (1972) for the Santa Fe Island area, upstream from where the Paraná Delta begins. Some authors, like Burkart (1957), believed that these floating islands did not reach the Río de la Plata; therefore, this contribution is the first report of embalsados reaching the southern areas of the basin. The embalsados observed in Bernal are similar to those described for Santa Fe (Tur 1972), because unlike those of northern Argentina (Burkart 1957; Schulz 1961), lack several plant families such as Eriocaulaceae, Orchidaceae, and Dryopteridaceae.

The cloudy conditions during the months when Eichhornia rafts invaded the Río de la Plata and the resolution of the used remote sensors made it difficult to estimate the size of the plant cover. However, with other estimates, Dogliotti et al. (2016) were able to detect many patches with different size, reaching 100 km2 maximum approximate.

We cannot infer the distance travelled by the Eichhornia rafts into the Atlantic Ocean because we do not know the exact route they followed, but with the information that we recovered it is worth mentioning that the rafts dispersed propagules to more than 50-70 km. to the Atlantic coast. Agnolin et al. (2016) mentions some legume seeds and insects discharged by the Río de la Plata to the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires with floating plant residues. Also Farina & Cicchino (2016) found some beetles (Carabidae) and other insects over the rests of Eichhornia rafts in Mar del Tuyú, 35 km. far from the Río de la Plata mouth. That is remarkable and leads to the hypothesis that possibly some subtropical species colonized the Buenos Aires sea coast by these means (Agnolin et al 2016).

Conclusions

This is the first study that analyzed the Eichhornia rafts in the Argentinean coast of the Río de la Plata from a taxonomical point of view and must be considered a first step to face this phenomenon from the biogeographical and biodiversity conservation point of view.

Thirty-two vascular plant species dragged by the Paraná-Plata fluvial system to northeastern Buenos Aires province were recorded. In addition to the typical Eichhornia rafts, we observed the presence of canutillares and embalsados, as well as rooted plants, trunks and many residues which also contributed to the passive drag of riparian biota.

The importance of Eichhornia rafts in passive dispersal was inferred by previous authors. In this survey we quantified this by the enumeration of the plant species. Passive dispersal by Eichhornia rafts has been mentioned repeatedly in the bibliography as the cause of the high biotic diversity of northeastern Buenos Aires province, as we have seen in the introduction. This natural process is probably essential to maintain this diversity, carrying individuals from northern populations and enriching the Río de la Plata shores with new species occasionally. Hence, the rafting dispersal mechanism deserves more attention and some conservation planning. For example, it would be useful to discuss whether it is necessary to eradicate vegetation, as some municipalities did.
