“…Las queuñas son componentes de rituales por las comunidades locales (kosmos), además de ser valoradas en los procesos de regulación ambiental con su sombra, su intercepción de neblina (FJELDSA, 2002) y en la praxis se utiliza su madera. Fue usada también en la época colonial por los españoles, como combustible para los hornos de fundición (RUTHSATZ;MOVIA, 1975).…”

The Puna is a Central Andes 'mountainous region dominated by plateaus, with altitudes between 3.500 and 4.500 meters above sea level. It is an arid landscape, with intense solar radiation and extreme temperatures, and it presents evidence of human occupations for 12.000 years. It is currently inhabited by indigenous peoples and local communities with deep-rooted ways of relating to nature and space. The biocultural heritage is very rich and partly manifests itself in a broad development of pastoral life (of llamas, sheep and goats) based on the use of natural vegetation and wetlands. It also includes iconic wild species (vicuñas, suris and queuñas) of strong intrinsic, relational and local material value. This paper presents ethnobiological aspects, perceptions and local knowledge related to the mountain environment and to wild and domestic beings, analyzed from the point of view of nature's contributions to people and multiple valuations. Traditional knowledge (TK) is the essence of local conservation and environmental management decisions in the area such as livestock management techniques and use and care of wild resources. This work seeks to present the contribution from a science committed to the socioenvironmental reality of the communities, trying to generate a transdisciplinary and intercultural epistemic approach. Faced with global risks for pastoral systems such as biodiversity loss, changes in land use (mining), depopulation, cultural erosion with deterioration of practices, and climate change, this paper explores local perceptions and alternative strategies from an intercultural dialogue that includes traditional and scientific ecological knowledge.

“…Additionally, microclimatic conditions emerge in the context of the interaction between Andean topography and the local environment [12,13], conducive to establishing azonal ecosystems such as Cushion Bogs [8,9]. These high Andean wetlands, also known as "Bofedales", "Vegas", or "Mallines" [14,15], develop near the hydrological and altitudinal limits for plant life in the Andes [14] from Colombia/Venezuela to Patagonia [15][16][17]. They are dominated by "bogs-forming" plants, which grow in compact cushions, capable of forming peat, retaining moisture, altering local hydrological conditions, and creating conditions for the colonization of other species [15,18,19].…”

In southern South America, zonal flora, defined by macroclimatic conditions, is strongly influenced by an aridity filter near 29°S. Cushion bogs, high-altitude wetlands along the Andes, display homogeneous flora with cushion species dominance, contrasting with zonal vegetation. Despite being influenced by microclimatic conditions, these ecosystems experience varied environmental effects. This study identifies environmental filters affecting bog communities along a broad-scale latitudinal gradient from 15°S to 42°S. We analyzed 420 bogs and 284 species across three macroclimatic regions with distinct summer, winter, and transitional arid rainfall regimes. Using variance partitioning and membership-based regionalization models, we examined the impacts of climatic, edaphic, and spatial variables on beta diversity. We also assessed species' niche overlap and the influence of environmental filters on the communities' phylogenetic diversity. Results show that species turnover and niche overlap vary with macroclimatic differences, delineating three distinct regions. Notably, phylogenetic clustering in the driest part of the gradient (23°S —24°S) highlights the impact of the environmental filter. Aridity and temperature variations at a broad scale serve as environmental filters shaping the composition of bog communities across southern South America.

“…This region is located between 3200 and 5000 m.a.s.l. in the Central Andes with high solar radiation, intense winds and daytime temperatures close to 0 °C (Ruthsatz 2012, Squeo et al 2006. In High Andean ecosystems, the associated processes with the maintenance and perpetuation of limnic systems are very sensitive to changes produced by natural events such as variations in the rainfall regime (Elosegi & Sabater 2009) and anthropic disturbances (Paoli 2003).…”

This study aimed to examine the spatial variation in sets of micro and macroinvertebrates and to detect how physicochemical and environmental variables affect community structures in high Andean rivers. Six sites were sampled in three rivers of the Argentinian plateau, in altitudes between 3900-4400 masl during the dry season (May-October 2017). The variables that affected the structure of the micro and macroinvertebrate communities were: altitude, conductivity, turbidity, water temperature, hardness, oxygen, and lead. Sites with high levels of arsenic, lead and boron were identified. Assemblages of species common to high Andean courses were recorded on a north-south axis. The registered community structure has similarities with High Andean streams of Bolivia and rivers of the Catamarca plateau, increasing the differences in composition and assemblages towards the south (Mendoza and Patagonian Andes).Diptera was the best represented with Orthocladiinae and Podonominae, reaching better representativeness at higher altitudes. Together with them, Austrelmis, Hydracarina, Hirudinea, Nais, Hyalella constitute the dominant group. There is a trend towards a decrease in the richness of species with respect to altitude, related to the proximity of the Salar and the increase in conductivity, carbonates and hardness.
