Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in Costa Rica
(2013)
Ecosystems services have become a key concept
in understanding the way humans benefit from
ecosystems. In Costa Rica, a pioneer national
scheme of payment provides compensation for forest
conservation that is assumed ...
Climatology-based regional modelling of potential vegetation and average annual long-term runoff for Mesoamerica
(2010)
Mean annual cycles of runoff, evapotranspiration,
leaf area index (LAI) and potential vegetation were
modelled for Mesoamerica using the SVAT model MAPSS
with different climatology datasets. We calibrated and validated
the ...
Climate change and plant dispersal along corridors in fragmented landscapes of Mesoamerica
(2013)
Climate change is a threat to biodiversity, and adaptation measures should be
considered in biodiversity conservation planning. Protected areas (PA) are
expected to be impacted by climate change and improving their ...
Migración de ecosistemas bajo escenarios de cambio climático : el rol de los corredores biológicos en Costa Rica
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2010)
El cambio climático causará un cambio en la distribución de los ecosistemas y las especies. Estudios biogeográficos que
predicen cambios en la distribución de las zonas de vida permiten evaluar los impactos potenciales ...
Servicios ecosistémicos e hidroelectricidad en Nicaragua
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2007-08)
Los bosques producen servicios ecosistémicos (SE) importantes para la generación de energía hidroeléctrica. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar bosques proveedores de SE importantes para la generación de ...
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 ...
Tropical reforestation and climate change: beyond carbon
(2015)
Tropical reforestation (TR) has been highlighted as an important intervention for climate change mitigation because of its
carbon storage potential. TR can also play other frequently overlooked, but significant, roles in ...
Vulnerabilidad de los servicios ecosistémicos hidrológicos al cambio climático en Mesoamérica
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2010)
El cambio climático modificará el régimen hidrológico global debido a alteraciones en la distribución y magnitud de la precipitación y temperatura, y su interacción con las condiciones físicas y de vegetación de cada lugar. ...
