Data for producing a map of tropical and subtropical Andean South America, depicting the geographic location of cushion peatland study sites at which data on C stocks, C fluxes or both variables were generated.Figure 2. Latitudinal distribution of representative plant species of Andean cushion peatlands. Data were drawn from GBIF.org on 20 July 2023 and checked for plausibility, retaining only records based on specimen data from herbaria.Figure 3. Peat-core age and carbon accumulation rate (ARCA) in high-Andean cushion peatlands across páramo, wet and dry puna. The number of peat cores is n= 22 for páramo, 10 for wet puna, and 11 for dry puna.Figure S1. Models of temporal development of sediment accumulation rates (yr cm-1) for peat cores from high-Andean tropical cushion peatlands.
