Comunidades vegetales de los bofedales de la Cordillera Real (Bolivia) bajo el calentamiento global Plant communities of high-Andean wetlands of the Cordillera Real (Bolivia) in the face of global warming

High-Andean wetlands (bofedales) are one of the most threatened ecosystems in the face of global warming. Given the close relationship between bofedales and water, it is expected that glacial retreat will cause their gradual shrinkage. With three proxies of climate change (bofedal area, glacier influence and elevation) we inferred how these changes may affect plant communities. The hypotheses were 1) that loss in the area of bofedales should reduce plant diversity - the glacier influence and elevation could affect this relationship through effect
