“…The first trend described a process of agricultural intensification predicted by population growth during 2000-2009 (Figs 3(a) and 4). This period was characterised by an internal migration highly occurred in the Mantaro Valley's that promoted the rapid growth of commercial farming in the lowlands [34], [35]. Whereas, the second trend showed farming land decrease during 2009-2013 linked to high population density and low schooling percentage (Fig.…”

Mountain ecosystems around the world are facing rapid land-cover changes, which have received much attention among scientists, managers, and policy-makers. A growing scientific production has been possible by free and open access data and the use of remote sensing and geographic information system tools. In this context, our study quantified the land-use changes across 25 provinces in the central high-Andean moist Puna over the interval of 13 years, using a selection of eleven land-use/cover types included in the standardized nomenclature of the Corine Land Cover for Peru. Thereafter, we determine the importance of social-economic driving factors in two time periods, from 2000 to 2009 and 2009 to 2013. The results described three spatial patterns: (1) a North-South division, (2) two different trends described by intensification/de-intensification agriculture, and (3) persistent forestland deterioration. Overall, our study reveals that agriculture in densely occupied provinces is the leading land-use change process negatively affecting pasture and forest extent. Moreover, understanding the spatial patterns of changes in the extent and their explanatory variables is important for clarifying land-use change trajectories. We hope our study will support spatial decision-making in complex mountain landscapes.

“…Over recent decades the city has undergone major growth (Córdova-Aguilar et al 2005), in terms of both settlement (+44% during 1988-2008Haller 2012) and population. The latter doubled between the censuses of 1981 and 2007, and today stands at around 425 000 people distributed over seven districts (Haller & Borsdorf 2013).…”

Since the turn of the millennium, the Peruvian protected-area system has provided regional governments with the possibility of initiating and managing Regional Conservation Areas, a category that complements the system of national protected areas. Regional capitals and other Andean cities welcome this opportunity, and increasingly use this instrument to safeguard important ecosystem services. The city of Huancayo and the Cordillera Huaytapallana are a case in point that underlines the need to integrate cities and protected areas in planning and policy making, and to promote conflict-free development along the urban-rural continuum.

“…The settlements of Uñ as and Vilcacoto, which were classified as agricultural units of approximately 1000 inhabitants in the most recent Peruvian statistics on hamlets and villages (Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informá tica 1993), are 1 km and 2 km, respectively, from the continuously urbanized area of Huancayo Metropolitano (Figure 1)-an emerging Andean city of about 420,000 inhabitants located at 12u49S and 75u129W and approximately 3300 m above sea level (masl) between the Western and Eastern Cordillera (Haller and Borsdorf 2013). Land cover and land use in the study area are a mix of urban and rural; the area can thus be considered periurban (Allen 2003;Borsdorf and Hidalgo 2008;Simon 2008).…”
