The paramo is a biodiverse ecosystem with high endemism, which provides ecosystemic services to humans, dominated by species of grasses, shrubs, rosettes and mosses. Burning is one of the most common activities on the moor, it is carried out for agriculture and cattle raising. It was determined the effect of the recent fires on the microclimate on the floor on the paramo of the Ecological Reserve Illinizas (REI), analyzing variables of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), soil temperature at 20 cm depth and height of vegetation in function of time has elapsed after the fire. In addition, georreferencing of the information obtained to generate a map of location of burned areas, and a map that expresses the relationship between the microclimate and time lapsed after burning. The five sites that have been affected by the fire are located on the limit area of the REI. The burned areas of the 2015 have a higher incidence of PAR on the ground (over 50%) and higher soil temperature at 20 cm depth, between 13.88 and 15.14 ° C; in areas burned in 2011 and 2012 the incidence of PAR under the vegetation it is less (less than 10%), and soil temperature at 20 cm depth is recorded between 11.03 and 11.75 ° C. This allows to conclude that the vegetation cover influence microclimatic soil conditions of the moor. |
