Abstract
A distribution potential spatial model for the Colombian Andes cloud forests is presented, which includes physical variables such as altitude, humidity provinces and geomorphology. The current condition of these ecosystems at two different scales (1:500,000 and 1:250,000) are analyzed based on landscape metrics. Although there are considerable differences in the fragmentation indexes on both scales, it was found that the cloud forests on the Western slopes of the Central Mountain Range and on the Western slopes of the Western Mountain Range are the most affected by change in the use of land and fragmentation. In contrast, the cloud forests on the Eastern slopes of the Central Mountain Range and on the Eastern slopes of the Westrn Mountain Range are the ones presenting better conservation condition, both in the remaining area and their fragmentation state.
