Ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change: what role for policy-makers, society and scientists?
(2009)
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(2020)
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ...
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 ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(2020)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ...
Permanence of PES and the role of social context in the Regional Integrated Silvo-pastoral Ecosystem Management Project in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-07)
We present rare, empirical evidence on the permanence of land use changes induced by a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program. A follow-up study was conducted a decade after the end of the Regional Integrated ...
