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 ...
Genetic diversity and population structure for ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in Costa Rica
(Oxford University Press, 2021-12)
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are a wide-ranging felid species, occurring from southern United States to northern
Argentina. They occupy various habitats and are usually considered the most abundant wild cat species in ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Methodological Approach for Prioritization and Rationalization of Field Genebank Accessions of Coffee Genetic Resources: A Case Study of CATIE International Coffee Collection, Costa Rica
(Frontiers Media, Lausana (Suiza), 2021-12)
Good management of coffee collections is important because they ensure long-term availability of germplasm to guarantee the sustainability of coffee value chain. The conservation of coffee genetic resources is essential ...
