Evaluations for sustainable forest management: towards an adaptive standard for the evaluation of the ecological sustainability of forest management in Costa Rica
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2002)
The evaluation of the sustainability of forest management is an integral measure in the maintenance of production, and the ecological and socioeconomic functions of forest systems and should consider both the fulfillment ...
Litterfall dynamics under different tropical forest restoration strategies in Costa Rica
(2011)
In degraded tropical pastures, active restoration strategies have the potential to facilitate forest regrowth at rates that are faster than natural recovery, enhancing litterfall, and nutrient inputs to the forest floor. ...
Substrate conditions, foliar nutrients and the distributions of two canopy tree species in a Costa Rican secondary rain forest
(1997)
A 28 yr old secondary lowland rain forest in Costa Rica was dominated by two tree species of contrasting ecologies, Vochysia ferruginea - a species typical of well-drained but infertile soils of high AL saturation, and ...
Stand dynamics in a logged and silviculturally treated Costa Rican rain forest, 1988-1996
(ELSEVIER, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 1999)
The lowland rain forests of Central America are poorly known from the standpoint of management for timber production. We studied the stand dynamics of a logged Costa Rican rain forest under three different regimes of ...
Above-ground biomass storage potential in primary rain forests managed for timber production in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-07)
Tropical forests play a fundamental role in mitigating climate change through storage of carbon in above- and below- ground biomass. Their mitigation potential is, however, affected by significant greenhouse gas emissions ...
