“…Poaceae species, especially Calamagrostis and Festuca, have the anatomical features of roots that are adapted to drought or fl ooding [25], in addition to the involute leaves and hollow stems that are adapted to restrict plant transpiration, through which they have greater capacity to adapt to the divergent conditions of the mountain range, despite the transformation that they have been suffering due to the effects of agriculture, overgrazing and mining [18,26]; however, some species such as Festuca dolichophylla present moderate vegetation cover in the upper and middle zones of the microbasin and low vegetation cover in the lower altitude zone due to soil, temperature and altitude conditions [24,27].…”

Andean grassland ecosystems are covered by a mega-vascular floristic diversity constituted by families such as Poaceae, Rosaceae, Asteraceae, Plantaginaceae, Fabaceae, and Cyperaceae, among the most important ones that include suitable species for Andean Livestock feeding such as sheep, cattle, and South American camelids. However, the accelerated degradation of ecosystems and the extinction of several important species, have put it in our interest to know better the spatio-temporal distribution of these species as a starting point for spatio-temporal monitoring. With this purpose, we compiled information on those identified as D species in the Poaceae family, from thesis studies and published scientific articles. We also examined the record and spatial distribution of D species of this family in the Global Biodiversity Information System (GBIF) corresponding to the Sierra region of Peru. Specific geo-processed maps were generated after data curation. It was found that there are 63 D species included in the genus: Agrostis, Agropirum, Bromus, Calamagrostis, Dissanthelium, Festuca, Hordeum, Muhlenbergia, Nasella, Paspalum, Poa, Stipa, Trisetum and Vulpia, of which only 52 species are registered in GBIF, noting the concentration of records in places of greater tourist interest and with funded research projects such as the Huascaran National Park and others. The few studies on natural grassland species in Peru and the low spatial coverage of the species recorded in GBIF still limit the generation of adequate monitoring strategies.
