Temperature regime influences accessions and effectiveness of germination promoters in the high-Andean crop maca
(Wiley, 2021)
High-Andean crops are precious resources for low-income farmers threatened by climate conditions. In the Puna region of the central Peruvian Andes, poor farmers grow maca (Lepidium meyenii Walpers), a root crop endemic to ...
Age and sex structure of Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) in feeding areas of central Chile
(NEOTROPICAL ORNITHOLOGICAL SOC, USGS PATUXENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH CTR, 2015)
The age and sex structures of the Andean Condor are known for some parts of its range while in other such areas data are lacking. The aim of this study was to obtain demographic data from the Andes of central Chile and to ...
Long-term spatiotemporal variability in high andean wetlands in northern Chile
(Elsevier, 2021)
High Andean wetlands of the elevated plateaus of the Andes Mountains of Chile, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia are true oases that sustain life in this arid region. Despite their ecological value, they have been rarely studied ...
Mapping and spatial characterization of Argentine High Andean peatbogs
(Springer, 2015-10)
Peatbogs are the most productive and biodiversity rich ecosystems of high dry Puna region, and provide essential ecosystems services to local inhabitants. Despite their ecological and economic importance, the geographic ...
Causes of admission to a rehabilitation center for andean condors (vultur gryphus) in Chile
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2016)
Causes of admission to rehabilitation centers can provide valuable information about factors that cause mortality in the wild. We studied causes of admission to a rehabilitation center for 108 Andean Condors (Vultur gryphus) ...
Arrowleaf Clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi): A New Species of Annual Legumes for High Rainfall Areas of the Mediterranean Climate Zone of Chile
(Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, INIA, 2010)
Insights from Water Quality of High Andean Springs for Human Consumption in Perú
(Revista MDPICH, 2021)
The headwaters of the high Andean basin in Peru accumulate water from the mist, rain,
snow, and hail, and it is transported superficially and underground to low-lying areas, mostly used
for drinkable purposes. The natural ...
Neogene erosion and. uplift of the western edge of the Andean Plateau as determined by detrital heavy mineral analysis
(2007)
Recent studies show that the western margin of the Andean plateau was uplifted during Neogene time in the form of a proto-Western Cordillera through a system of high angle reverse faults. In this study, we use XRD and ...
Effective elastic thickness variations along the andean margin and their relationship to subduction geometry
(2008)
We present a new map of the spatial variations in effective elastic thickness, Te, along the Andes estimated using Bouguer coherence. The Te variations reflect interactions between subducting slab and preexisting terrane ...
Antibacterial producing actinomycetes from Extra Andean Patagonia
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-09)
Extra-Andean Patagonia is a vast area in South America witharid soils and vegetation. Desiccation, high salinity and UV radiation ofthis region are considered positive factors for the isolation ofbioactive strains. In the ...
