How Ecological Characteristics of Seasonal Migratory Species Influence Conservation Threats and Policy Needs
(University of Chicago Press Journals, 2023-03-08)This article argues that effectively protecting migratory behavior and migratory species throughout their annual or life cycle habitats requires conservation policies that simultaneously consider the ecological, socioeconomic, ... -
Human pressure on water quality and water yield in the upper Grijalva river basin in the Mexico-Guatemala border
(ELSEVIER, 2016)Forest ecosystems are major providers of high quality water and contribute to maintain a better distribution of base flows during the year. However, these environmental services have been adversely affected by human pressure ... -
Hydrological Response of Tropical Catchments to Climate Change as Modeled by the GR2M Model: A Case Study in Costa Rica
(Sustainability, 2022-12)This study aimed to assess the impacts of climate change on streamflow characteristics of five tropical catchments located in Costa Rica. An ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs), namely HadGEM2-ES, CanESM2, ... -
Impact of agro-forestry systems on the aroma generation of coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2022)A long experiment has been established since 2000 at CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center), Turrialba, Costa Rica. Twenty agro-forestry systems with different shade types and managements (organic ... -
Impact of Shrimp Ponds on Mangrove Blue Carbon Stocks in Ecuador
(2021-06)Mangrove forests play an important role in mitigating climate change but are threatened by aquaculture expansion. The inclusion of mangroves in climate change mitigation strategies requires measuring of carbon stocks and ... -
