Ecohydrology of Polylepis Forests by olorteguilariancotonysmith is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study assesses the water balance of the Polylepis forest, the highest elevation tropical forest, revealing that streamflow and evapotranspiration are the main components, with forest canopy interception being significantly higher than transpiration. The annual water balance error was minimal, and the presence of Polylepis forests contributes to higher soil organic matter without impairing hydrological functions compared to grasslands. These findings provide insights into the ecohydrological role of hig
