Resumen
1. Las áreas naturales (AN) proveen contribuciones a los agroecosistemas debido al flujo de organismos benéficos. Sin embargo, los incendios forestales (IIFF) afectan la interfase rural-urbana donde conviven producciones agropecuarias con parches de AN. Si bien los IIFF han sido estudiados tanto por sus efectos sobre los ecosistemas naturales como por sus implicancias socio-económicas, no existe evidencia de su efecto sobre la productividad de cultivos mediado por interacciones biológicas.2. En este trabajo evaluamos la relación entre los IIFF y la abundancia y composición de las comunidades de visitantes florales (VF) y enemigos naturales de plagas (EN), y la producción frutícola en cultivos de frambuesa. Para ello, comparamos 6 chacras de frambuesas cercanas a AN afectadas por un incendio ocurrido en el corto plazo previo al muestreo, con 6 chacras alejadas de las mismas.3. Encontramos que en las chacras cercanas al incendio, las visitas florales en frambuesa fueron un 58% más abundantes que en chacras alejadas, mientras que la comunidad de EN no fue afectada.4. Las visitas de abejas nativas y de coleópteros fueron más abundantes en chacras cercanas al incendio, particularmente en primavera.5. Sin embargo, la productividad del cultivo de frambuesa no se vio afectada por la cercanía al incendio.6. Implicancias. Discutimos los diferentes mecanismos detrás de esta respuesta y resaltamos la importancia de las áreas cultivadas como reservorios de hábitat para abejas nativas y coleópteros en situaciones de destrucción de áreas naturales.
1. Natural areas (NA) provide essential contributions to agroecosystems through the flow of beneficial organisms. However, wildfires affect the rural–urban interface where agricultural production coexists with patches of NA. While the effects of wildfires on natural ecosystems and their socio-economic implications have been widely studied, there is limited evidence on their impact on crop productivity through altered biological interactions. 2. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between a recent wildfire and the abundance and composition of flower visitor (FV) and natural enemy (NE) communities, as well as raspberry fruit production. We compared six raspberry farms located near burned NA with six distant farms, following a wildfire that occurred shortly before sampling. 3. We found that FV abundance was 58% higher on farms near the burned areas compared to those further away, while NE communities were not affected. 4. Visits by native bees and beetles were more frequent on the near-burn farms, particularly during spring. 5. However, changes in FV abundance did not influence crop productivity. 6. Implications. We discuss potential mechanisms behind these responses and highlight the role of cultivated areas as habitat refuges for native bees and beetles following the destruction of surrounding natural areas.
