The carbon pool of Amazonian peatlands is immense and mediates critical ecological functions. As are dynamic, similar to other wetland systems, modeling the relationship between organic matter dry bulk density allows estimation accumulation and/or decomposition peats. We tested several models: generalized linear mixed logarithmic, test depth, non-linear logarithmic power-law models. There a negative percentage using peat samples collected in (n = 80). This model supported by coefficient...
We present an assessment of the tropical peatlands in upper Ucayali Valley central Peru—an Amazonian region that has been largely ignored ecological and wetlands research. focused on groundtruthing identifying strongest landscape-level predictors peat depth. The 2015 product from Peruvian Ministry Environment (MINAM) appears to be a sufficient proxy, primarily due its inclusion aguajal category, identified as bosque inundable de palmeras (Bi-pal) or palm swamp, which are typically associated...
El mercurio (Hg) es un metal pesado tóxico que provoca daños en el sistema nervioso central, altera comportamiento humano y impacto la biota acuática. objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar bioacumulación por Hg peces riesgo ingesta una Comunidad Nativa (CN) amazonia peruana durante estación seca lluviosa. La CN Santa Rosa de Tamaya Tipishca se encuentra cuenca baja río Abujao. estudio realizó con 119 habitantes agrupados 22 familias, edades promedio 9 38 años para niños adultos,...
Records of Galictis vittata (Greater Grison) from the Amazon basin are sparse, particularly in Madre de Dios region, where only three records have been published. This study elaborates on seven observations within and near small interior forest streams Las Piedras tributary Dios, Peru. While G. inhabits terrestrial environments, it has also observed association with aquatic habitats parts its range. Although limited to observations, all documented sightings region associated stream...
The effort to uncover herpetofauna within the zone of influence Sierra del Divisor National Park has been focused on northern reaches. Abujao basin represents region well in an understudied area central Peruvian Amazon. We found 108 species amphibians and squamate reptiles. Seven records extend ranges from regions, while two unite with southern regions (Madre De Dios Fitzcarrald Arc/Purus valley). There are higher levels diversity attributable land-cover units indicative high terraces hilly...
Hay solo dos estudios formales enfocados en anfibios y reptiles del Valle Alto-Ucayali. Estos tienen implicaciones afuera de el estudio herpetología, tal como indicadores ambientales, áreas protegidas, uso sostenible recursos naturales. A la fecha, búsquedas generales domina metodología herpetología Ucayali, pero transectos también han sido ingresados. La variación bosques, entre partes bajíos terreno firme, se explica gran parte las diferencias diversidad sitios, especialmente los grupos...
