The Apolobamba Integrated Management National Area is located in the Northwest of La Paz (Bolivia). This grassland ecosystem, with a high biodiversity, is a natural habitat of camelid populations. The goals of this study were to quantify total SOC
showed that some studied zones could be excellent carbon reservoirs the AA. suggest that these zones should be specifically protected from camelid overexploitation to avoid the soil exhaustion and preserve high grassland ecosystems and its biodiversity
