- W2045288616 abstract "The upper montane zone of the Ecuadorian Andes includes a diverse mixture of forest, paramo (tropical alpine vegetation), and agricultural lands. These areas have been occupied by humans for at least 7,000 years, and it is likely that repeated anthropogenic disturbances, especially fires, have altered the vegetation frequently. More than twelve major protected areas have been established in the highland region, but greater knowledge of disturbance ecology must be acquired before appropriate environmental management schemes can be implemented. This article reviews recent findings concerning the fire ecology of paramo communities within the Cotacachi-Cayapas Ecological Reserve and on Cerro Imbabura, an adjacent peak in northern Ecuador. After summarizing the environmental history of the region, the relationships among contemporary fire regimes, conservation practice and various attitudes toward paramo are discussed. Utilizing field observations from both protected and unprotected paramos, I demonstrate that fires are most likely not reducing species diversity, and that fire suppression is not an effective management policy. The pristine myth that provides a basis for some conservation efforts is evaluated, and recommendations for more effective conservation policies are made. La zona de la alta montana de los Andes ecuatorianos incluye una mezcla diversa de bosques, paramos (vegetacion alpina tropical) y tierras agricolas. Estas areas han sido ocupadas por el hombre durante por lo menos 7,000 anos y, es probable, que disturbios antropogenicos repetidos -especialmente incendios- hayan cambiado la vegetacion muchas veces. Mas de doce areas mayores protegidas han sido establecidas en la region alta, pero un conocimiento mayor de la ecologia de los disturbios debe ser adquirido antes de que un sistema de manejo ambiental apropiado pueda ser implementado. Este articulo revisara los hallazgos recientes alrededor de la ecologia de disturbios de las comunidades del paramo de la Reserva Ecologica Cotacachi-Cayapas y del Cerro Imbabura, un pico adyacente, en el norte de Ecuador. Despues de describir la historia ambiental, seran discutidas las relaciones entre las practicas de conservacion y las varias actitudes hacia el paramo. Utilizando observaciones basadas en el trabajo de campo, seran comparados los impactos de incendios en los paramos protegidos y no-protegidos. Demuestro que es muy probable que los incendios no reduzcan la diversidad de especies y que la supresion de incendios no es muy efectiva como politica de manejo. El mito de pristinismo, que provee una base para algunos esfuerzos de conservacion, sera evaluado y se ofrecen recomendaciones para unas politicas de conservacion mas efectivas." @default.
