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 ...
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)
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 ...
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. ...
