Dispersal limitation, soil, and fire affect functional properties of tropical secondary forests on abandoned cattle ranching landscapes
(2021)
Forest age is a major predictor of secondary forest functional properties and through the chronosequence approach continues to be a principal focus in local, landscape, and regional-scale studies of secondary succession. ...
Strong floristic distinctiveness across Neotropical successional forests
(Science, 2022)
Forests that regrow naturally on abandoned fields are important for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services, but can they also preserve the distinct regional tree floras? Using the floristic composition of 1215 early ...
Recuperación de la biodiversidad en bosques neotropicales primarios y perturbados de Costa Rica
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
La investigación contribuye a la necesidad de conocimiento sobre las trayectorias de recuperación de la biodiversidad y su variabilidad en bosques perturbados (específicamente aprovechados y secundarios). El estudio evalua ...
Monitoreo ecológico del manejo forestal comunitario en pinares de la Región Autónoma del Atlántico Norte de Nicaragua Una guía preliminar basada en la experiencia del Bosque Comunitario Las Crucetas
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2008)
Esta es una guía de monitoreo del manejo forestal de bosques latifoliados tropicales para orientar a manejadores, certificadores y propietarios de bosque en el diseño y aplicación de programas de monitoreo ecológico ...
Soil resistance and recovery during neotropical forest succession
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2022-01-24)
The recovery of soil conditions is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration and, hence, for achieving the goals of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Here, we assess how soils resist forest conversion and agricultural ...
Multi-dimensional temperature sensitivity of protected tropical mountain rain forests
(Frontiers, 2024-01-09)
Tropical mountain rain forests (TMRF, natural forests at > 300 m asl) are globally important for biodiversity and ecosystem services and are believed to be highly vulnerable to climate change. But there are no specific ...
Increasing Biodiversity in Livestock Production Systems: Plant Traits and Natural Regeneration Capacity of Woody Vegetation in Actively Managed Grasslands
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Species’ natural regeneration capacity is an ecological property of plant communities that is key to restoring diversity after disturbances and to conserving the delivery of related ecosystem services within agroecosystems. ...
