Assessing Potential Effects of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) on Water Ecosystem Service in the Interurban Micro-Watershed Río Torres, Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2023-05-03)
The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) generates positive effects on the water ecosystem service in an urban context. Practices such as bioretention cells, green roofs, rain gardens, ...
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 ...
Pollination biology of Theobroma and Herrania (Sterculiaceae). IV. Major volatile constituents of steam-distilled floral oils as field attractants to cacao-associated midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae and Ceratopogonidae) in Costa Rica
(IICA, San José (Costa Rica), 1989-10)
En la Finca Experimental La Lola, cerca de Siquirres en la provincia de Limón, Costa Rica, se hicieron pruebas con dos constituyentes volátiles de aceites florales de dos miembros de la familia Sterculiaceae del género ...
Thermal characteristics and composition of facts from Theobroma species
(IICA, San José (Costa Rica), 1989-10)
La evaluación del comportamiento térmico y la composición fueron utilizados para comparar las grasas de T. angustifolia, T. bicolor (de Costa Rica y Brasil), T. gileri, T. grandiflora and T. mammosa con la manteca de cacao ...
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 ...
Shade tree Chloroleucon eurycyclum promotes coffee leaf rust by reducing uredospore wash-off by rain
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2020)
addition, may interact with environment. To better understand shade trees effects on coffee leaf rust (CLR), we
studied three disease stages separately: sporulation, uredospore wash-off by rain, and uredospore deposition ...
Identification and distribution of melon-infecting viruses and their vectors in two provinces of Costa Rica
(IICA, San José (Costa Rica), 1993-07)
El virus de la mancha anular de la papaya o "papaya ringspot virus" (PRSV), el virus del mosaico de la sandía II o "watermelon mosaic virus II" (WMV-II), el virus del mosaico del pepino o "cucumber mosaic virus" (CMV) y ...
Measured ammonia emissions from tropical and subtropical pastures: A comparison with 2006 IPCC, 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC, and EMEP/EEA (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme and European Environmental Agency) inventory estimates
(American Dairy Science Association, Champaign, IL, EUA ; Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020)
Agriculture is the largest source of ammonia (NH3) emissions. As NH3 is an indirect greenhouse gas, NH3 measurements are crucial to improving greenhouse gas emission inventory estimates. Moreover, NH3 emissions have wider ...
