A functional trait based approach to understand tropical forest composition and function in a Costa Rican landscape
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2014)
Quantifying the factors driving tropical forest composition, structure and function is a continuous area of ecological research. Recently, novel approaches have enabled research
questions on this topic to be addressed not ...
A geospatial data integration framework for mapping and monitoring tropical landscape diversity in Costa Rica's San Juan-La Selva Biological Corridor
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2006)
Landcover change has substantially reduced the amount of tropical rain forests since the 1950s. Little is known about the extent of remaining forest types. A multivariate analysis of 144 forest plots across Costa Rica's ...
