Paramo

An Andean Ecosystem Under Human Influence

Edición de la obra Páramo

"Twenty papers resulting from a 1991 symposium in Denmark on the páramo ecosystem that extends from western Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru. Rather than adaptations to climate, as previously believed, these high-altitude grasslands are now clearly seen as artefacts of human intervention"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
