Paramos are high altitude tropical ecosystems in the Andes that has extreme geographical and climatic conditions, which promotes high rates of endemism and great accumulation of organic matter. Paramos are of great importance for the valleys in the Andean slopes because they allow the water regulation. These features make of the Paramo a sensitive ecosystem to climate changes and human-caused disturbances (burning). In this context our study aims to analyze the possible effects of the interaction between burning and increased temperature on soil invertebrates and litter decomposition. Our data show clear changes on the diversity and abundance of mesofauna; however decomposition decreased as the temperature increased. The data on invertebrat...
