Jardines residenciales en Santiago de Chile: Extensión, distribución y cobertura vegetal

Los jardines residenciales aportan una gran cobertura vegetacional en ambientes urbanos, pero han sido poco estudiados en America Latina. Este es el primer estudio sobre la materia realizado en el Area Metropolitana de Santiago (AMS). En esta ciudad los jardines residenciales cubren el 26 % de la superficie urbana. Aunque la muestra analizada (n = 7236) evidencia una gran dispersion de tamanos, el 56 % de los jardines mide entre 74 y 268 m2. El 37 % de la superficie de los jardines esta cubierta de arboles y arbustos, seguido por cesped (34 %), edificaciones menores (26 %) y solo un 3.0 % carece de cobertura. Hay una alta correlacion entre tamano predial y cobertura vegetal (R2 = 0.97), excepto en el centro de la ciudad, en donde a mayor tamano predial se incrementa la superficie edificada y por tanto los jardines son pequenos. La cobertura vegetal total de los jardines residenciales alcanza 12000 hectareas, equivalente al 19 % del AMS, lo cual es 3.7 veces mayor a la superficie de areas verdes publicas. Los factores mas influyentes en la cobertura y estructura de la vegetacion de los jardines, son el tamano predial y la tipologia de edificacion.
