Title A name given to the resource Bofedales: high altitude peatlands of the central Andes Bofedales: turberas de alta montaña de los Andes centrales Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FRANCISCO A SQUEO, BARRY G WARNER, RAMÓN ARAVENA, DIANA ESPINOZA Description An account of the resource There is an exceptional group of alpine peatlands in the world situated in the arid grasslands of the central Andes. The peatlands in northern Chile occur in the most arid part of their range. Members of the Juncaceae are the primary peat-forming plant species. Fresh and mildly saline groundwaters originate from glaciers, snowmelt and rain are the water sources for the northern Chile peatlands. Paleoecological investigations suggest that some peatlands are recent features of the landscape having developed within the last three thousand years or less. These peatlands are unique, extremely fragile water features sensitive to climate changes and human disturbances such as regional mining activity. Much more work is required to develop scientifically based sound management and conservation programs for the rare plants and animals that live in them and to ensure the future livelihoods of the indigenous peoples who depend on themExiste un grupo excepcional de turberas (bofedales) de alta montaña en el mundo situados en la estepa árida de los Andes centrales. Los bofedales en el norte de Chile están presentes en la parte más árida de su rango. Las principales especies de plantas responsables de la formación de turba corresponden a miembros de Juncaceae. El agua fresca y medianamente salina de los bofedales proviene de agua subterránea asociada a riachuelos proveniente de glaciares, derretimiento de nieve y lluvia. Investigaciones paleoecológicas sugieren que algunos bofedales son integrantes recientes del paisaje, habiéndose desarrollado durante los últimos tres mil años o menos. Estos bofedales son entidades únicas, extremadamente frágiles por su dependencia del agua, sensibles a los cambios climáticos y vulnerables a la alteración humana tal como la actividad minera en la región. Se requiere mucho más trabajo para desarrollar programas de manejo y conservación, con sólidas bases científicas, de las plantas y animales que viven en ellos, y para asegurar la capacidad futura de pastoreo de la cual dependen los pueblos indígenas Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Subject The topic of the resource América del Sur, Andes centrales, Central Andes, Peatlands, South America, altiplano, arid grasslands, estepa árida, turberas Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Revista Chilena de Historia Natural Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available BMC Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Botany, Zoology Relation A related resource <a href="http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&amp;pid=S0716-078X2006000200010" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&amp;pid=S0716-078X2006000200010</a>
