Editorial: Observed and Predicted Changes in Climate in the Andes Cordillera

The Andes Cordillera forms a continuous high elevation range along the western margin ofSouth America and constitutes a fundamental component in the environmental, cultural, andsocio-economic fabric of the continent. Over its ca. 7,000 km-long extent, this mountain rangecontains an immense variety o...
