Objective assessment of ecosystem hydrological services in tropical areas: A Colombian experience in arid and semi-arid zones

Objective assessment of ecosystem hydrological services in tropical areas: A Colombian experience in arid and semi-arid zones

This study presents a methodology to address the challenge of objectively demonstrating Ecosystem Hydrological Services (EHS). A case study is used in the region of the La Guajira Peninsula (Colombia), with a focus on the EHS of water flow regulation. The proposed methodology hypothesizes that EHS t...
