Poaceae Species Suitable for Andean Livestock Farming in the Peruvian Andes Reported in GBIF and Local Studies

Research identifies 63 Poaceae species suitable for Andean livestock farming, including genera such as Agrostis, Bromus, and Festuca, with only 52 recorded in GBIF. The study highlights significant gaps in spatial coverage of biodiversity data, particularly in Peru's Sierra region, where records are concentrated in high-tourist areas like Huascarán National Park. This underscores the urgent need for improved monitoring strategies to support conservation efforts and sustainable livestock farming practices amidst ongoing ecosystem degradation.
