Diameter increment patterns among 106 tree species in a logged and silviculturally treated Costa Rican rain forest
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 1990)
Studies of growth rates of trees in managed neotropical forests have rarely employed complete botanical identification of all species, while published information for Central american lowland rain forests largely concerns ...
Drivers of tropical rainforest composition and alpha diversity patterns over a 2,520 m altitudinal gradient
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019)
Old-growth neotropical forests are shifting in species and trait composition
(2016)
Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition. These shifts may be driven by environmental ...
Agricultural intensification alters bat assemblage composition and abundance in a dynamic Neotropical landscape
(2016)
The recent trend of agricultural intensification in tropical landscapes poses a new threat to biodiversity conservation. Conversion of previously heterogeneous agricultural landscapes to intensive plantation agriculture ...
Biomass of timber species in Central American secondary forests: Towards climate change mitigation through sustainable timber harvesting
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-06)
Sustainable management of secondary forests for timber production offers the opportunity to combine nature-based climate change mitigation with direct improvement of human livelihoods in the tropics, but this dual potential ...
A common framework to model recovery in disturbed tropical forests
(Elsevier, 2023-06-11)
Despite their exceptional biodiversity and carbon stocks, more than 80% of tropical forests are disturbed. However, a lot of interrogations remain around the ability of vegetation attributes in tropical forests to recover ...
Altitude and species identity drive leaf litter decomposition rates of ten species on a 2950 m altitudinal gradient in Neotropical rain forests
(2019)
Identifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Biodiversity recovery of Neotropical secondary forests
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
