Mean annual cycles of runoff, evapotranspiration,
leaf area index (LAI) and potential vegetation were
modelled for Mesoamerica using the SVAT model MAPSS
with different climatology datasets. We calibrated and validated
the ...

What information do policy makers need to develop climate adaptation plans for mallholder farmers? : the case of Central America and Mexico
(Springer, 2016)
Scientific and technical information can increase the ability of policy makers to
make strategic decisions. However, climate change policy is often formulated without significant
input from science. We examine whether ...

(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2015)
The importance of tropical timber for human activities in developing and developed countries is widely recognized. However, the timber supply from tropical forests has greatly suffered due to the increasing deforestation ...
More Stable Productivity of Semi Natural Grasslands than Sown Pastures in a Seasonally Dry Climate
(2013-06-11)
In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net primary productivity ...
