3. The need to advance the hydrological research in the Central American Páramo
High‐elevation tropical ecosystems like the Páramo are susceptible to potential impacts of changes in climate and land cover which could affect the variability in their hydrological conditions and ecohydrological functional properties (Esquivel-Hernández et al., 2017; Wright et al., 2017). Overall, the information about the importance of Páramo ecosystem was identified much earlier in South America than in Central America which led to a more structured research in the Andes compared to Central America (Correa et al., 2020). Therefore, the isotopic and hydrometric information collected at CHRS can help define and promote future hydrological research in tropical montane ecosystems and can endorse adaptation policies to alleviate the impacts of potential changes in the water balance of the Páramo and the lowlands that rely on its water supply.
