Systematic transitions in the use and coverage of soil in a high Andean micro-basin, Ecuador 1991-2011

Abstract:

We identified the transitions that characterized the change of land use and coverage in the microwatershed of the Jubal River (3120-4360 MASL), from 1991-2011, with the objective of contributing to future plans of land management and planning of strategies for the conservation of natural resources of the micro-watershed of the Jubal River, belonging to the Sanghay National Park. The results suggest that the ecosystem services offered by the microwatershed of the Jubal River as a water service provider and regulator are being seriously threatened.
