Situación Actual De Los Páramos En Colombia A Partir De Una Revisión Sistemática De Literatura

Authors/Creators

Description

This is an investigation carried out through a systematic literature review prepared in order to study the current situation of the páramos in Colombia through the Parsifal program (Stefany Urquijo, nd) in which inclusion and exclusion criteria were implemented for the Selection of articles to which data extraction was carried out by means of questions based on the effects of climate change and human actions on the ecosystems of the páramos, so that they would serve to propose solutions to the current problems of the country by means of alternatives for the care and protection of critical points in high mountain areas in charge of the water regulation process. These ecosystems vulnerable to climate change and other factors have been deteriorating due to the actions of man, agriculture, livestock, mining and the use of the land that is being given to these areas, and which in turn destroys no only the ecosystems of Colombian paramos but the quality of human life.
