TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed data generated from a participatory monitoring network of 25 headwater catchments covering three of the major Andean biomes (paramo, jalca and puna) and linked their hydrological responses to main types of human interventions (cultivation, afforestation and grazing).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first continental-scale comparative study of plant community diversity on summits of the tropical Andes, using data from 792 permanent vegetation plots (1m2) within 50 summits, distributed along a 4200 km transect.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of latitude and elevation on the thermal ranges of Andean vascular plant species and communities was assessed based on their thermal traits, and the authors concluded that species restricted to equatorial latitudes and plant communities dominated by these species were the most vulnerable to global warming, due to a potentially higher risk of losing thermal niche space.

TL;DR: A hydrometeorological dataset from a network of paired instrumented catchments, obtained by participatory monitoring through a partnership of academic and non-governmental institutions, to support evidence-based decision making on land management and evaluate the effectiveness of catchment interventions.
