Diseño de una red estructural de conservación en un sector del Corredor Biológico San Juan-La Selva, Costa Rica
(2010)Los procesos antrópicos que provocan la fragmentación del bosque, han sido muy evidentes en el sector conocido como “Tapón de Chilamate” en el Corredor Biológico San Juan-La Selva (CBSS). La vulnerabilidad de este ecosistema ... -
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 ... -
Biodiversity conservation in human-modified landscapes of Mesoamerica : past, present and future
(2010)Mesoamerica provides a unique context for biodiversity conservation in managed landscapes because of its geography, history of human intervention, and present conservation and development initiatives. The long and narrow ... -
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 ... -
Modelling the hydrological behaviour of a coffee agroforestry basin in Costa Rica
(2011)The profitability of hydropower in Costa Rica is affected by soil erosion and sedimentation in dam reservoirs, which are in turn influenced by land use, infiltration and aquifer interactions with surface water. In order ... -
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 ... -
An assessment of climate change impacts on the tropical forests of Central America using the Holdridge Life Zone (HLZ) land classification system
(2013)Ecological models have predicted shifts in forest biomes, yet there have been very few studies that have looked at the implications on carbon stocks due to these shifts. Carbon is closely correlated to biomass and ... -
The influence of habitat complexity and landscape context on the biodiversity conservation value of cacao agroforests in Waslala, Nicaragua
(2010)La deforestación de los bosques naturales ha conllevado a investigar el papel que juegan los agroecosistemas en la conservación de la biodiversidad. Cultivos agrícolas bajo sombra, como los sistemas agroforestales de cacao, ...
