Altitude and species identity drive leaf litter decomposition rates of ten species on a 2950 m altitudinal gradient in Neotropical rain forests
(2019)Identifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and ... -
An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-06-14)Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ... -
An assessment of the shade and ground cover influence on the mitigation of water‑driven soil erosion in a coffee agroforestry system
(2024-04-08)Coffee cultivation under agroforestry systems is one of the main agricultural activities in Central America, but climate change is putting its sustainability at risk. Rainfall erosivity has worsened, thus driving soil ... -
An Improved Framework for Estimating Organic Carbon Content of Mangrove Soils Using loss-on-ignition and Coastal Environmental Setting
(Springer, 2023-06-22)The use of loss on ignition (LOI) measurements of soil organic matter (SOM) to estimate soil organic carbon (OC) content is a decades-old practice. While there are limitations and uncertainties to this approach, it continues ... -

Applying conservation social science to study the human dimensions of Neotropical bird conservation
(2020)As the global human population increases, and many bird populations in the Neotropics and the rest of the world continue to decline, the study of the intersection of humans, birds, and conservation has become more relevant ... -
Assessing Fire Regimes in the Paraguayan Chaco: Implications for Ecological and Fire Management
(2024-09-29)This study analyzed the fire regime in the highly diverse Paraguayan Chaco, focusing on different aspects of fire patterns, including spatial (area burned) and temporal (frequency) aspects and magnitude (severity). We ... -
Assessing land use effects on ecohydrological partitioning in the critical zone through isotope-aided modelling
(Wiley, 2023-09-11)The study examines how different land uses impact ecohydrological processes in the critical zone, focusing on water partitioning between evaporation, transpiration, and groundwater recharge. Using stable water isotopes and ... -
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, ... -
Assessing the accuracy and robustness of a process-based model for coffee agroforestry systems in Central America
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)Coffee is often grown in production systems associated with shade trees that provide different ecosystem services. Management, weather and soil conditions are spatially variable production factors. CAF2007 is a dynamic ... -
Assessing the joint effects of landscape, farm features and crop management practices on berry damage in coffee plantations
(Elsevier, 2022-02-09)Evaluates the joint effects of crop management on plot level, farm characteristics, and landscape structure at different spatial scales on CBB infestation in 50 Costa Rican coffee farms. In five plants of each farm, the ... -
Authentication of Coffea arabica Varieties through DNA Fingerprinting and its Significance for the Coffee Sector
(2020-01)Background: Locating the optimal varieties for coffee cultivation is increasingly considered a key condition for sustainable production and marketing. Variety performance varies when it comes to susceptibility to coffee ... -
