In developing countries where economies and livelihoods depend largely on
ecosystem services, policies for adaptation to climate change should take into account the
role of these services in increasing the resilience of ...
A methodological proposal for the evaluation of farmer's adaptation to climate variability, mainly due to drought in watersheds in Central America
(2008)
The current study shows the process and the results of a methodology proposed to contribute with the issue of how to evaluate the adaptation to climate variability and future climate change. The proposed methodology consists ...
Modelling Potential Equilibrium States of Vegetation and Terrestrial Water Cycle of Mesoamerica under Climate Change Scenarios
(2012)
The likelihood and magnitude of the impacts of climate change on potential vegetation and the water cycle
in Mesoamerica is evaluated. Mesoamerica is a global biodiversity hotspot with highly diverse topographic
and ...
An assessment of climate change impacts on the tropical forests of Central America using the Holdridge Life Zone (HLZ) land classification system
(2013)
Ecological models have predicted shifts in forest biomes, yet there have been
very few studies that have looked at the implications on carbon stocks due to
these shifts. Carbon is closely correlated to biomass and ...
