Altitude and community traits explain rain forest stand dynamics over a 2370-m altitudinal gradient in Costa Rica
(2021-12)Stand dynamic rates in Earth’s vitally important tropical mountain rain forests are a central component of the response of these forests to global change, but their relationships to environmental gradients are poorly ... -
Altitude and species identity drive leaf litter decomposition rates of ten species on a 2950 m altitudinal gradient in Neotropical rain forests
(2019)Identifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and ... -
An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-06-14)Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ... -
An Improved Framework for Estimating Organic Carbon Content of Mangrove Soils Using loss-on-ignition and Coastal Environmental Setting
(Springer, 2023-06-22)The use of loss on ignition (LOI) measurements of soil organic matter (SOM) to estimate soil organic carbon (OC) content is a decades-old practice. While there are limitations and uncertainties to this approach, it continues ... -
