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 ...
Latin American and Caribbean Forests in the 2020s: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities

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 ...
Litterfall dynamics under different tropical forest restoration strategies in Costa Rica
(2011)
In degraded tropical pastures, active restoration strategies have the potential to facilitate forest regrowth at rates that are faster than natural recovery, enhancing litterfall, and nutrient inputs to the forest floor. ...
