On the ability of a global atmospheric inversion to constrain variations of CO2 fluxes over Amazonia
(2015)
The exchanges of carbon, water and energy between
the atmosphere and the Amazon basin have global implications
for the current and future climate. Here, the global
atmospheric inversion system of the Monitoring of ...
Climate change and plant dispersal along corridors in fragmented landscapes of Mesoamerica
(2013)
Climate change is a threat to biodiversity, and adaptation measures should be
considered in biodiversity conservation planning. Protected areas (PA) are
expected to be impacted by climate change and improving their ...
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 ...
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 ...
Climate Scenarios: What we need to know and how to generate them
(2008)
Climate change profoundly affects the natural and social environment. Decision-makers and resource managers
require information regarding future changes in climate average and variability to better anticipate potential ...
Influence of tree cover on diversity, carbon sequestration and productivity of cocoa systems in the Ecuadorian Amazon
(2015)
La producción de cacao en la Amazonía ecuatoriana constituye una importante fuente de ingresos para la población local.
Los sistemas de producción de cacao son variados y engloban bosques primarios enriquecidos, sistemas ...
Estrategia para la Consolidación de la Conectividad 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 ...
