Efecto del riego y la fertilización sobre la calidad de plántulas forestales con potencial uso para restauración del bosque tropical seco
(2021)
La calidad de plántulas es un factor clave que influye en el crecimiento y sobrevivencia luego del trasplante, pero pocos estudios han evaluado el efecto de las prácticas culturales sobre la calidad de especies latifoliadas ...
Functional recovery of secondary tropical forests
(Editorial Board, 2021-11)
One-third of all Neotropical forests are secondary forests that regrow naturally after agricultural use through secondary succession. We need to understand better how and why succession varies across environmental gradients ...
Altitude and community traits explain rain forest stand dynamics over a 2370-m altitudinal gradient in Costa Rica
(2021-12)
Stand dynamic rates in Earth’s vitally important tropical mountain rain forests are a central component of the response of these forests to global change, but their relationships to environmental gradients are poorly ...
Ecosystem services and gender in rural areas of Nicaragua: Different perceptions about the landscape
(2020)
The study of Ecosystem services (ES) is a prolific field of research. Despite the great biological and cultural diversity, in Latin America, research in this field has been growing at a much slower rate than in the rest ...
Land-use change influence ecosystem services in an agricultural landscape in Central America
(2022-01)
Ecosystems provide a variety of services that are important for human well-being. The estimation of different ecosystem services is necessary to support decision-making processes at different levels in the landscapes. The ...
Positive Effects of Scattered Trees on Soil Water Dynamics in a Pasture Landscape in the Tropics
(2021)
As a result of canopy interception and transpiration, trees are often assumed to have negative effects on the local hydrological budget resulting in reduced soil and groundwater resources. However, it has also been shown ...
Multidimensional tropical forest recovery
(AAAS, Washington, DC (USA), 2021-12)
Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to regrow
naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during secondary succession
and how their ...
Influence of scattered trees in grazing areas on soil properties in the Piedmont region of the Colombian Amazon
(2022-01)
Trees dispersed in grazing areas are contribute to the sustainability of livestock systems. The interactions between trees and soil are ecological processes that allow the modification of the biology, fertility, and physics ...
Do Coffee Agroforestry Systems Always Improve Soil Carbon Stocks Deeper in the Soil?—A Case Study from Turrialba, Costa Rica
(2020)
Shaded perennial agroforestry systems (AFS) are regarded as desirable land-use practices that improve soil carbon sequestration. However, most studies assume a positive correlation between above ground and below ground ...
Modeling age and yield dynamics in Coffea arabica pruning systems
(Elsevier, 2022)
The maintenance of rejuvenated, productive plant tissue through regular and frequent pruning is essential to sustain high and stable coffee yields. Different coffee pruning systems have been described by means of well-written ...
