Implications of land use/land cover change in the buffer zone of a national park in the tropical Andes.

abstract：:Climate change will further exacerbate wetland deterioration, especially in the Mediterranean region. On the one side, it will accelerate the decline in the populations and species of plants and animals, this resulting in an impoverishment of biological abundance. On the other one, it will also promote biotic homogeni...
