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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Biodiversity recovery of Neotropical secondary forests
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
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 ...
Forest cover mediates large and mediumsized mammal occurrence in a critical link of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor
(2021)
Connectivity of natural areas through biological corridors is essential for ecosystem resilience and biodiversity conservation. However, robust assessments of biodiversity in corridor areas are often hindered by logistical ...
