Multi-objective forest restoration planning in Costa Rica : Balancing landscape connectivity and ecosystem service provisioning with sustainable development
(Elseiver, 2022-02-09)It uses a spatial planning tool (Marxan) to identify priority areas for restoration meeting multiple objectives throughout a biological corridor in Costa Rica. A restoration plan is presented which seeks to maximize the ... -
Multi-sensor airborne lidar requires intercalibration for consistent estimation of light attenuation and plant area density
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Leaf area is a key structural characteristic of forest canopies because of the role of leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes occurring at the biosphere-atmosphere transition. High pulse density ... -
Multidimensional tropical forest recovery
(AAAS, Washington, DC (USA), 2021-12)Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to regrow naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during secondary succession and how their ... -
No evidence of foliar disease impact on crop root functional strategies and soil microbial communities : what does this mean for organic coffee?
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2022-01-21)The main objective of this study is to unravel the dynamic effects of pathogens and amendments on the functional root characteristics and communities of root endophytic fungi. As model, used Coffea arabica (coffee) variety ... -
Non-destructive estimation of the leaf weight and leaf area in common bean
(MDPI, 2022)Regression models to predict leaf area and leaf weight in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were fitted using the three leaflets of the leaves. A total of 1504 leaves from 40 genotypes were collected, covering a large range ... -
Nutritional quality of Piptocoma discolor and Cratylia argentea as a non-timber forest products for animal feed in the Caquetá province
(Firenze University Press, 2022)The present work determined the nutritional quality of Piptocoma discolor and Cratylia argentea as non-timber forest products used in animal feed in the Amazonian foothills in Caquetá province - Colombia, where the grasses ... -
Old-growth neotropical forests are shifting in species and trait composition
(2016)Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition. These shifts may be driven by environmental ... -
Optimal Siting, Sizing, and Enforcement of Marine Protected Areas
(2020)The design of protected areas, whether marine or terrestrial, rarely considers how people respond to the imposition of no-take sites with complete or incomplete enforcement. Consequently, these protected areas may fail to ... -
Patterns of shade plant diversity in four agroforestry systems across Central America: a meta‑analysis
(Nature, 2023-05-26)Agroforestry systems can potentially increase tree diversity within agricultural landscapes, but to date, there is little understanding of the patterns of shade plant diversity within different agroforestry systems (AFS) ... -
Payment for Ecosystem Services: The roles of positive and information sharing in stimulating adoption of silvopastoral conservation practices
(2015-01-22)Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) applied to agricultural systems, such as tropical rangelands, seeks to provide multiple services while sustaining food production. However, there is considerable debate regarding the ... -
Payment for Ecosystem Services: The roles of positive incentives and information sharing in stimulating adoption of silvopastoral conservation practices
(2013-06-14)Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) applied to agricultural systems, such as tropical rangelands, seeks to provide multiple services while sustaining food production. However, there is considerable debate regarding the ... -
Percepción de Productores ganaderos sobre la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos en la actividad ganadera, Esparza, Costa Rica
(Revista Forestal Mesoamericana Kurú, 2022)En Esparza, Costa Rica, se evaluó la percepción de los productores ganaderos, sobre la importancia de los servicios ecosistémicos en el quehacer de la actividad pecuaria. Se realizaron 30 entrevistas semiestructuradas y ... -
Permanence of PES and the role of social context in the Regional Integrated Silvo-pastoral Ecosystem Management Project in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-07)We present rare, empirical evidence on the permanence of land use changes induced by a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program. A follow-up study was conducted a decade after the end of the Regional Integrated ... -
Planned behavior and social capital: Understanding farmers’ behavior toward pressurized irrigation technologies.
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-09)Water scarcity is becoming a major challenge worldwide. The agricultural sector, as a main user of freshwater, may significantly increase its water use efficiency by promoting water saving strategies. This paper proposes ... -

(2020)This policy note provides a snapshot of water and sanitation measures implemented by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 14 countries in the Global South: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, ... -
Population genomic analyses of the chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao L., provide insights into its domestication process
(2018)Domestication has had a strong impact on the development of modern societies. We sequenced 200 genomes of the chocolate plant Theobroma cacao L. to show for the first time to our knowledge that a single population, the ... -
Positive Effects of Scattered Trees on Soil Water Dynamics in a Pasture Landscape in the Tropics
(2021)As a result of canopy interception and transpiration, trees are often assumed to have negative effects on the local hydrological budget resulting in reduced soil and groundwater resources. However, it has also been shown ... -
Prediction model for sap flow in cacao trees under different radiation intensities in the western Colombian Amazon.
(2021-01)In this study, we measured diurnal patterns of sap fow (Vs) in cacao trees growing in three types of agroforestry systems (AFs) that difer in the incident solar radiation they receive. We modeled the relationship of Vs ... -
