Globally, ecosystem services face significant degradation due to land use and cover change (LULC) driven by human development. Despite numerous habitat quality assessments, comprehensive studies in high-mountain equatorial region basins remain scarce. This research addresses assessing Ecuador’s sub-basins of the Aguilán Tabacay Rivers, with projections extending 2050. study considered anthropogenic threats examined two scenarios. The “Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs”...
Climate change threatens the hydrological equilibrium with severe consequences for living beings. In that respect, considerable differences in drought features are expected, especially mountain-Andean regions, which seem to be prone climate change. Therefore, an urgent need evaluation of such conditions arises; effects at catchment scales, due its implications over services. However, study future impacts scale, use dynamically downscaled data developing countries is a luxury computational...
Abstract Knowledge about precipitation generation remains limited in the tropical Andes due to lack of water stable isotope (WSI) data. Therefore, we investigated key factors controlling isotopic composition Páramo highlands southern Ecuador using event-based (high frequency) WSI data collected between November 2017 and October 2018. Our results show that air masses reach study site preferentially from eastern flank through Amazon basin (73.2%), Orinoco plains (11.2%), Mato Grosso Massif...
Precipitation is the most relevant element in hydrological cycle and vital for biosphere. However, when extreme precipitation events occur, consequences could be devastating humans (droughts or floods). An accurate prediction of helps decision-makers to develop adequate mitigation plans. In this study, linear nonlinear models with lagged predictors implementation a autoregressive model exogenous variables (NARX) network were used predict monthly rainfall Labrado Chirimachay meteorological...
Ecosystem services contribute significantly to human development, with water production being a crucial component. Climate and land use changes can impact availability within basin. In this context, researching water-related areas is essential for formulating policies protect manage hydrological services. The objective of study was estimate yield in the sub-basins Tabacay Aguilán rivers under climate change scenarios 2030, 2040, 2050, combined cover use. InVEST model employed analyze yield....
ABSTRACT Climate change, inter‐annual precipitation variability, recurrent droughts and flash flooding, coupled with increasing water needs, are shaping the co‐evolution of socioeconomic cultural assemblages, laws regulations, equitable drinking access allocation worldwide. Recognising need for mitigation strategies availability in urban areas, Isotope Hydrology Section International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) coordinated a state‐of‐the‐art global assessment to evaluate sources distribution...
The Paute river basin (southern Ecuador) suffers hydrological changes due to climate change and human activities. Hydrological cause extreme events affect ecosystems, hydroelectric plants, quality of life. It highlights the importance understanding behavior make appropriate decisions in environments. This study seeks predict discharges through global teleconnection indices. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was obtained using three different methodologies: multicollinearity analysis,...
