Páramos, tropical alpine ecosystems, host one of the world’s most diverse floras, account for largest water reservoirs in Andes, and some soil carbon pools worldwide. It is global importance to understand future this extremely carbon-rich ecosystem a warmer world its role on climate feedbacks. This study presents result first situ warming experiment two Colombian páramos using Open-Top Chambers. We evaluated response several balance-related processes, including decomposition, respiration,...
Background Páramos are tropical alpine ecosystems where climate change is expected to cause yet unknown consequences for plant growth, ecosystem structure, function and the provision of services.Aim To quantify relationship between environmental factors (abiotic biotic) spatial distribution three common Hypericum species in páramo their physiological vulnerability drought.Methods We recorded soil water content, temperature, vegetation cover 10 plots along a moisture gradient. Additionally,...
