Rainfall in the andean páramo: New insights from high-resolution monitoring in southern Ecuador
(AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY, 2015-01-01)
In mountainous regions, rainfall plays a key role in water supply for millions of people. However, rainfall data for these sites are limited and generally of low quality, making it difficult to evaluate the nature, amount, ...
Space-time rainfall variability in the Paute basin, Ecuadorian Andes
(2007-06-08)
Despite the importance of mountain ranges as water providers, knowledge of their climate variability is still limited, mostly due to a combination of data scarcity and heterogeneous orography. The tropical Andes share many ...
Quantification of rainfall interception in the high Andean tussock grasslands
(2018)
The páramo ecosystem provides most of the water for the tropical Andean highlands in South America. Although the comprehension of this environment has increased lately, there remains an urgent need to quantify the processes ...
Does soil moisture availability explain liana seedling distribution across a tropical rainfall gradient?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
Liana density tends to increase with decreasing rainfall and increasing seasonality. However, the pattern of liana distribution may be due to differences in soil water retention capacity, not rainfall and seasonality per ...
Structural stability of humid tropical soils as influenced by manure incorporation and incubation duration
(Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2009)
A multiple linear regression model for the prediction of summer rainfall in the northwestern Peruvian Amazon using large-scale indices
(Springer, 2024-01-02)
The northwestern Peruvian Amazon (NWPA) basin (78.4–75.8° W, 7.9–5.4° S) is an important region for coffee and rice production in Peru. Currently, no prediction models are available for estimating rainfall in advance during ...
