“…This last proposal presents challenges and opportunities from the perspectives of science, policy and practice [ 76 ]. In particular, in the management of NbS in a changing system characteristic of the northern tropical Andes that are experiencing the effects of climate change on the cover of their glaciers [ 26 , 30 , 31 ].…”

“…These Andean ecosystems could lose about 31% of their current extent by 2050 [ 29 ]. In fact, melting glaciers are already causing water scarcity problems in the northern tropical Andes, especially in the Ecuadorian Andes [ 30 , 31 ].…”

“…Climate change has serious consequences for various natural and human systems, such as biodiversity, agriculture, and glaciers. The tropical Andes is one of the regions most susceptible to the effects of climate change, with water availability and food security of Andean countries being at risk (Bradley et al 2006;Herzog et al 2011;Tejedor-Garavito et al 2015;Lozano-Povis et al 2021). Thus, various global initiatives, such as The Bonn Challenge and The United Nation's Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, have considered reforestation and ecosystem restoration as strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change (IUCN 2017;Di Sacco et al 2021;FAO 2021).…”

In the Andes, many native forest species are not used in reforestation or restoration programs mainly due to a lack of information about their propagation. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the seeds of Escallonia resinosa by analyzing fruit and seed productivity and characteristics, seed physiological quality, and the germination rate of seeds collected at different stages of fruit physiological maturity, using tetrazolium and standard germination tests. Our results show an estimated production (mean AE SD) of 34,252.5 AE 25,900 fruits per tree and 26.5 AE 20 million seeds per tree. Seed length was 1.0 AE 0.13 mm and seed weight was 12.4 AE 1 μg. We recognized two different morphological types of seeds: Type I seeds (lacking testa) were unviable, whereas all Type II seeds (with testa) germinated. Seed viability and germination rates were 10.5 and 48.6%, respectively; therefore, the viability test underestimated the actual germination rate. Morphological or microsite variables of the parent tree did not influence seed viability or germination. Germination rates were highest (41.8 AE 2.5%) for the seeds of fruits harvested at the initial maturity stage (green fruits). Our results show that E. resinosa is a species with potential for reforestation and restoration projects in the Andes: it has high seed production and good germination performance, and seeds can be harvested from fruits collected at different stages of physiological maturity.

“…El sector agrícola y de producción consideran los propósitos sociales, ecológicos y económicos en un contexto climático y socioeconómico cambiante que deberían desarrollarse de manera equilibrada para disminuir impactos ante la variabilidad climática (Dubois et al, 2020) La agricultura se ha visto afectada negativamente en los últimos años debido a las condiciones ambientales actuales, lo cual en muchos de los casos se ha visto perjudicada en el desarrollo de los cultivos (Georgakopoulos et al, 2016). Por ello se reconoce la importancia de la inestabilidad climática que dado a su magnitud y efecto generan impactos en la producción como en el rendimiento agrícola (Osborne & Wheeler, 2013), el cambio climático en países de Sudamérica genera aumento en su temperatura local, generando escasez de agua y provocando la pérdida de importantes cultivos (Lozano-Povis et al, 2021).…”

El trabajo de investigación tiene un enfoque en los efectos de la variabilidad climática en la agricultura de los cambios en los rendimientos de los cultivos, en especial del maíz, en el cual a través de un estudio de zonificación agroclimática nos permite conocer las zonas más idóneas donde el cultivo se ha desarrollado de manera eficiente, por lo que analizamos Zonas agroecológicas del maíz y su adaptabilidad a posibles escenarios de cambio climático en zonas rurales del cantón Buena Fe, utilizando método inductivo para la estimación de datos de clima futuro obtenidos en WorldClim. Se realizó una investigación no experimental, siendo un diseño transversal donde se analizaron las variables climáticas que influyen en la adaptabilidad del maíz, por lo tanto, se describieron y exploraron diferentes software o programas para el diseño de mapas. En el que se muestra la percepción ciudadana de los agricultores, relacionada con el rendimiento del maíz en un periodo 2016-2021. Se mostraron las áreas ideales con proyección futura de acuerdo a las variables estimadas en un periodo 2061-2080 y 2081-2100, por lo tanto, muestra las estrategias identificadas para la adaptación del cultivo de maíz a los cambios climáticos.
