Combined precipitation products that rely partially or entirely on satellite measurements are becoming increasingly available. However, these products have several weaknesses, for example their failure...
The páramo soils of the mountainous upper Andean region (>3300 m a. s. l.) of the Rio Paute basin in central Ecuador are characterized by a thick, dark, highly organic epipedon and are classified as Andosols and Histosols. Their high water retention and buffering capacity play a key role in the hydrology of the region, which is subject to land use changes and increased cultivation. In the west...
