Microbial diversity associated to Espeletia spp. in high mountain ecosystems
High mountain ecosystems have unique environmental characteristics, provide essential natural resources for the maintenance of life and represent hotspots of biological diversity and endemism of some animal and vegetal species. Within the great biological diversity that characterizes these environments, microbial diversity stands out due to its main role in the stability and balance of the ecosystem. The microorganisms establish important biological interactions with the native plants of the region, including the different species of Espeletia, allowing to improve their characteristics and optimizing the role of this type of ecosystems in the regulation of water sources. Therefore, this review aims to consolidate the current knowledge about the microbial diversity present in high mountain soils, highlighting the microbiota associated with Espeletia spp. and the plant-microorganism interactions that may occur.
