Systematic review compiling existing research on the effects of climate change on Andean agriculture. It analyzes climate variables (temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration), induced phenomena (soil erosion, glacier retreat, alterations in crops such as potatoes, quinoa, corn), and the vulnerability of small-scale farmers in the high Andes.
