Substrate conditions, foliar nutrients and the distributions of two canopy tree species in a Costa Rican secondary rain forest
(1997)
A 28 yr old secondary lowland rain forest in Costa Rica was dominated by two tree species of contrasting ecologies, Vochysia ferruginea - a species typical of well-drained but infertile soils of high AL saturation, and ...
Diameter increment patterns among 106 tree species in a logged and silviculturally treated Costa Rican rain forest
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 1990)
Studies of growth rates of trees in managed neotropical forests have rarely employed complete botanical identification of all species, while published information for Central american lowland rain forests largely concerns ...
Modelling Pentaclethra forest - an important Central American lowland rain forest type - for timber production
(CATIE, 1999-02)
Pentaclethra forest is a major component of the Central American Atlantic Moist Forest Ecoregion (CAAMFE). It covers most of the Costa Rican Atlantic Lowland region and parts of Panama and Nicaragua. Although soils are ...
Ecosystem biodiversity in lowland tropical rain forests of Central America: characterisation and applications to land management
(CATIE, 1999)
El nivel de ecosistemas es importante en la medición de biodiversidad y en la planificación tanto para la conservación, como para el manejo forestal. No obstante, estudios sistemáticos de la biodiversidad de ecosistemas ...
Stand dynamics in a logged and silviculturally treated Costa Rican rain forest, 1988-1996
(ELSEVIER, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 1999)
The lowland rain forests of Central America are poorly known from the standpoint of management for timber production. We studied the stand dynamics of a logged Costa Rican rain forest under three different regimes of ...
