Análisis espacio temporal de la cobertura vegetal para restauración de la conectividad del paisaje en la subcuenca del río Neusa, Zipaquirá, Colombia

Abstract

In Colombia, mountain and high mountain ecosystems have historically been the most affected by colonization pressures, recording some of the highest deforestation rates (Velasco & Vargas, 2008). It is estimated that between 70% and 93% of Andean forests have been transformed since the 1800s to the present, highlighting a significant loss of natural cover (Cavelier et al., 1997; Rangel, 2000). In this context, spatiotemporal analysis emerges as a key tool for understanding territorial changes and supporting decision-making processes in ecological restoration (De Pietri et al., 2023). Therefore, this study, conducted in the Neusa River sub-basin, in the El Tunal village, proposes a strategy based on this approach, also considering landform patterns, vegetation distribution, and morphometric indices.
