Study region Humid puna of the Central Andes, Perú Study focus Bofedales, or peat-forming wetlands, are a characteristic feature of the humid puna-a high elevation, seasonally dry grass-and shrub-land throughout the Central Andes. Despite the hydrologic importance of the humid puna for downstream communities, and the inference that bofedales play an important role, few studies have explored the hydrology of this ecosystem, and none have quantified bofedal water yield to streams. We designed a 3-year study in the Upper Ramuschaka Watershed (URW), a 2.12 km 2 humid puna catchment sustaining a perennial stream used for irrigation downstream. We monitored hydrologic fluxes through the URW, periodically measured discharge in 19 nested subbasins across wet and dry seasons, and characterized the structure, hydraulic properties, and storage capacity of four bofedales. New hydrological insights for the region Unit runoff is consistently higher in subbasins with greater bofedal coverage. High porosity peat fills in the wet season via groundwater recharge and drains slowly through underlying layers with low hydraulic conductivity. Bofedales cover 11.6% of the URW and store 105,000±10,000 m 3 of water seasonally. In the dry season, bofedales yield 49±5 mm to streams, equivalent to 20–98% of the URW’s dry season runoff. Bofedales regulate drainage from the humid puna to downstream communities and are therefore vital to local and regional water security.
