Observation of bioindicators as early warning systems to mitigate the impacts of frosts and droughts in Bolivia 2011

Also available in:

Spanish

Weather in the Andean high plateau is characterized by extreme climate events with serious impacts for agriculture, increasing the vulnerability of farmers. The lack of forecast weather stations in the region leads to lack of data and thus weakens timely decision-making. Implementation of modern agro meteorological services would imply high costs. However, local communities in the Omasuyo province in Bolivia traditionally rely on the observation of local bioindicators which provide a kind of local agro meteorological service that has produced reliable guidance over centuries for mitigating the impacts of extreme climate events on crops.
