El enfoque de medios de vida combinado con la indagación apreciativa para analizar la dinámica de la cobertura arbórea en fincas privadas: el caso de Costa Rica
(2016)
Se propone mostrar que es factible estudiar la complejidad de la dinámica arbórea en fincas privadas en tres zonas agrícolas de Costa Rica. Con este fin, se aplicó la combinación de enfoques de capitales de la comunidad y ...
Agricultural intensification alters bat assemblage composition and abundance in a dynamic Neotropical landscape
(2016)
The recent trend of agricultural intensification in tropical landscapes poses a new threat to biodiversity conservation. Conversion of previously heterogeneous agricultural landscapes to intensive plantation agriculture ...

Información hidrológica, primer paso para diseñar una política local de pago por servicios ambientales
(2015)
Los recursos hidrológicos tienen significativa importancia en países con problemas de escasez de agua, parte de los cuales se atribuyen a la inexistencia de una relación entre los proveedores de servicios ambientales y de ...
Experiences and Drivers of Food Insecurity in Guatemala's Dry Corridor: Insights From the Integration of Ethnographic and Household Survey Data
(Frontiers Sustainable Food Systems, 2019)
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

Extinction filters mediate the global effects of habitat fragmentation on animals
(Science, 2019)
Habitat loss is the primary driver of biodiversity decline worldwide, but the effects of fragmentation (the spatial
arrangement of remaining habitat) are debated. We tested the hypothesis that forest fragmentation ...
Los agroecosistemas cafetaleros modernos y su relación con la conservación de mariposas en paisajes fragmentados
(2018)
Land use change by the intensification of agriculture contributes to tropical forest fragmentation
and biodiversity loss. In this sense, in comparison with traditional agroforestry systems (AFS), modern
AFS are considered ...

(2015-01-22)
Low altitude humid tropical mountains in Central America have experienced a process of livestock expansion during recent decades. However, the use of sloping areas for cattle grazingmay lead to significant soil degradation
and ...
Experimental field exclosure of birds and bats in agricultural systems — Methodological insights, potential improvements, and cost-benefit trade-offs
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
Experimental exclosure of birds and bats constitutes a powerful tool to study the impacts of wildlife on pests and crop yields in agricultural systems. Though widely utilized, exclosure experiments are not standardized ...
