Leaf functional traits vary within and across tree species in tropical cloud forest on rock outcrop versus volcanic soil
(2019)
Functional leaf traits are used to classify plants into ecological strategies according to the leaf economic spectrum. Geological substrate has an important effect on functional trait variation, however, interspecific and ...
Dimensions of social and political capital in interventions to improve household wellbeing: Implications for coffee-growing areas in southern Colombia
(2021)
This paper studies the influence of community capitals on well-being through a Community Capital Index (CCI) within coffee-growing families in southern Colombia. Our results show different farm typologies, with different ...
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 ...
Searching for manatees in the dark waters of a transboundary river between Mexico and Belize: a predictive distribution model
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020-11-05)
Antillean manatees in the Hondo River have been recorded from aerial and aquatic surveys, and interviews. However, these studies have been conducted only in the lower riverbed, leaving a gap of information about their ...
Evaluación espaciotemporal del cambio global en el Departamento Sur de Haití, de 1973 al 2017
(2019)
Haití es una nación con grandes retos ambientales y sociales. La alta deforestación, falta de planificación territorial,
inestabilidad política y económica, y una población ejerciendo presión sobre recursos naturales son ...
El enfoque de medios de vida combinado con la indagación apreciativa para analizar la dinámica de la cobertura arbórea en fincas privadas: el caso de Costa Rica
(2016)
Se propone mostrar que es factible estudiar la complejidad de la dinámica arbórea en fincas privadas en tres zonas agrícolas de Costa Rica. Con este fin, se aplicó la combinación de enfoques de capitales de la comunidad y ...
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 ...
Distribution of p-coumaroylquinic acids in commercial Coffea spp. of different geographical origin and in other wild coffee species

Quantitative analyses of mono-p-coumaroylquinic acids (pCoQAs) and total chlorogenic acids (CGAs) in green
coffee commercial lots of C. arabica, C. canephora and C. liberica from different geographical origins and eight
wild ...
Información hidrológica, primer paso para diseñar una política local de pago por servicios ambientales
(2015)
Los recursos hidrológicos tienen significativa importancia en países con problemas de escasez de agua, parte de los cuales se atribuyen a la inexistencia de una relación entre los proveedores de servicios ambientales y de ...
Species interactions across trophic levels mediate rainfall effects on dryland vegetation dynamics
(2020)
Arid ecosystems are strongly limited by water availability, and precipitation plays a 2 major role in the dynamics of all species in arid regions, as well as the ecosystem processes that 3 occur there. However, understanding ...
