Biodiversity conservation in human-modified landscapes of Mesoamerica : past, present and future
(2010)
Mesoamerica provides a unique context for biodiversity conservation in managed landscapes because of
its geography, history of human intervention, and present conservation and development initiatives. The
long and narrow ...
Effects of trees on infiltrability and preferential flow in two contrasting agroecosystems in Central America
(2014)
We tested the hypothesis that trees have measurable effects on infiltrability, macroporosity, and pref-erential flows in agrosilvopastoral systems. Managing agricultural systems for water conservation is acritical component ...
Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in Costa Rica
(2013)
Ecosystems services have become a key concept
in understanding the way humans benefit from
ecosystems. In Costa Rica, a pioneer national
scheme of payment provides compensation for forest
conservation that is assumed ...
Climate change and plant dispersal along corridors in fragmented landscapes of Mesoamerica
(2013)
Climate change is a threat to biodiversity, and adaptation measures should be
considered in biodiversity conservation planning. Protected areas (PA) are
expected to be impacted by climate change and improving their ...
On the ability of a global atmospheric inversion to constrain variations of CO2 fluxes over Amazonia
(2015)
The exchanges of carbon, water and energy between
the atmosphere and the Amazon basin have global implications
for the current and future climate. Here, the global
atmospheric inversion system of the Monitoring of ...
Modelling Potential Equilibrium States of Vegetation and Terrestrial Water Cycle of Mesoamerica under Climate Change Scenarios
(2012)
The likelihood and magnitude of the impacts of climate change on potential vegetation and the water cycle
in Mesoamerica is evaluated. Mesoamerica is a global biodiversity hotspot with highly diverse topographic
and ...
