Driving variables to explain soil organic carbon dynamics: páramo highlands of the Ecuadorian Real mountain range
The Andean páramo highlands of the Real range show high capacity for storing SOC, with values ranging from 3.5% to 19%. This variability highlights the ecosystem's importance as a globally relevant carbon reservoir.
