UV-resistant Acinetobacter sp. isolates from Andean wetlands display high catalase activity
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-04)
Andean wetlands are characterized by their extreme environmental conditions such as high UV radiation, elevated heavy metal content and salinity. We present here the first study on UV tolerance and antioxidant defense of ...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity in high-altitude hypersaline Andean wetlands studied by 454-sequencing and morphological approaches
(Springer, 2016-10)
The Laguna Brava Nature Reserve is a stressful habitat in the Andean Mountains (Argentina) dominated by extreme abiotic factors: high altitude and UVradiance, hypersalinity, alkalinity, and high concentrations of toxic ...
Side effects of green technologies: the potential environmental costs of Lithium mining on high elevation Andean wetlands in the context of climate change
(Global Land Project, 2015-11)
Lithium-based batteries are the key component of booming green technologies, including hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric and battery electric vehicles. Nearly 80% of the global lithium resources are located in the ...
Waterbird richness in altiplano wetlands of northwestern Argentina
(The Waterbird Society, 2001-04)
We measured waterbird richness and abundance, and characterized wetland features (altitude, size, and presence of submergent vegetation) of 50 altiplano wetlands, during summer and winter, 1998. We estimated 36,700 individuals ...
Runoff from tropical alpine grasslands increases with areal extent of wetlands
(ELSEVIER, 2015-02-01)
Tropical alpine grasslands of the northern Andes, commonly known as the páramo, provide abundant high-quality water for downstream populations as well as a variety of other environmental services. Yet, very little is known ...
Bird Diversity and Its Relationship with Habitat Characteristics in High Andean PeatbogsDiversidad de aves y su relación con las características del hábitat en vegas de los altos Andes
(Sociedad Española de Ornitología, 2017-07)
High Andean peatbogs are key functional wetlands in the dry Puna region and essential in conserving local biodiversity, including bird communities. We surveyed the bird communities of 18 peatbogs in the Argentinean Puna ...

Composition, diversity and size of diatoms consumed by the Andean Flamingo (Phoenicoparrus andinus) in Salar de Punta Negra, Antofagasta Region, Northern Chile
(2012)
In April 2009, at the Salar de Punta Negra (24°35'S, 68°58'W) in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile, we quantified the composition, diversity, and size of diatoms, the only consumed prey by both adults and nestlings ...
Multi-taxon patterns from high Andean peatlands: assessing climatic and landscape variables
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2020-10-17)
The relationship between environment and organisms has been a central focus of community ecology. Different approaches have been made for analyzing different aspects of this interaction, but more integral studies are missing ...
