The Galapagos National Park was established in 1959, based on its historical importance associated with Charles Darwin\u0027s voyage and its rare and endemic biodiversity, composed of unique vertebrate and plant communities (Rozzi et al. 2010). In 1978, the Galapagos Islands were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a critical factor associated with this national park (Rozzi et al. 2010). The Galapagos Islands are a pristine area with local and regional climates influenced by the interaction of ocean currents and winds driven by the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone; ITCZ (Conroy et al. 2008, Trueman and d\u0027Ozouville 2010).\r\nThe long-term programme includes forty natural aquatic ecosystems (lakes, ponds, lagoons and swamps) that will be sampled on the islands of San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, Isabela and Floreana, where possible along a lowland-highland gradient. The number of sampling points will vary according to environmental heterogeneity and the presence of a littoral region, among other factors.

Geologically, the Galapagos Islands are quite young, probably no more than five million years old. Some of the westernmost islands, which are the most volcanically active, may only be hundreds of thousands of years old and are still being formed.","hydrology":"The climatic zonation in the Galapagos Islands is characterized by humid highlands, dry lowlands, and a transition zone and these zones are especially observed in islands of intermediate height such as Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Floreana and Santiago. Among the main aquatic ecosystem types that exist in the Galapagos Islands, we highlight the saline lagoons, temporary ponds and one freshwater lake. Within all typologies, the brackish or saline lagoons and salt marshes occur in the coastal zone, in lowland areas, characterized by dry climate. The declining water quality in the freshwater sources of the inhabited islands in the Galapagos has been associated with anthropogenic activities like agricultural runoffs, discharges of untreated sewage increasing nutrient concentrations leading to the eutrophication of the water bodies and potential risks to ecosystem health.","soils":"Currently, the status of soils on the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands is poorly understood and associated with the 1962, 2016-2017 expeditions. \r\nChanges in rainfall over the altitudinal gradient, from arid to humid with altitude on the higher islands, is one of the most important factors determining the age and formation of island soils. Isabela Island represents the youngest soils of the archipelago and agricultural land management on the soils of Santa Cruz and San Cristobal has shown a decrease in fertility and an increase in soil concentrations of Cd, Zn and Cu. This increase may be related to the use of agrochemicals.","vegetation":"In the larger and higher islands, the dry uplands may be observed, with marked differences in the vegetation pattern between lowland (semi-arid) and highlands (humid vegetation). However, the vegetation has been drastically altered over time due to human pressure.
