The Paramo Fire Atlas: quantifying burned area and trends across the Tropical Andes
Environmental Research LettersThe paramo ecosystem is vital for biodiversity conservation and water regulation. Despite fire being a known disturbance agent in this ecosystem, little is known about the frequency and trends in these high-elevation landscapes. To address this knowledge

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.ABSTRACT High‐Andean forage systems are characterized by extensive management of cultivated forages, primarily through rotation of forage oats (Avena sativa) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa), under marginal edaphoclimatic conditions. Within this context, soil sodicity severely constrains the productivity of these systems in the districts of Ayaviri and ...

Grassland Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 182-195, June 2026.Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.
