Secondary Tropical Dry Forests Are Important to Cattle Ranchers in Northwestern Costa Rica
(2020-07)
In the dry regions of Central America, forests in cattle ranches are used as a refuge for cattle during
the dry season, and there is no much information about this practice. To determine the frequency of
this practice ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(2020)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ...
Functional recovery of secondary tropical forests
(Editorial Board, 2021-11)
One-third of all Neotropical forests are secondary forests that regrow naturally after agricultural use through secondary succession. We need to understand better how and why succession varies across environmental gradients ...
AVONET: morphological, ecological and geographical data for all birds
(2022-02-24)
Features the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds, including six ecological variables, 11 continuous morphological traits, and range size and location information. Gross morphological ...
Functional responses to anthropogenic disturbance and the importance of selected traits: A study case using dung beetles
(2021-06-17)
Evaluate the functional diversity of dung beetles associated with the Atlantic Forest replacement using a matrix with 25 functional traits (10 morphological, four ethological and 11 physiological). Compare functional ...
Land-use change influence ecosystem services in an agricultural landscape in Central America
(2022-01)
Ecosystems provide a variety of services that are important for human well-being. The estimation of different ecosystem services is necessary to support decision-making processes at different levels in the landscapes. The ...
Intraspecific Functional Variability and Functional Changes Along Environmental Gradients Associated to Mangrove Forest Zonation in West-Central Mexico
(Wetland, 2022)
Functional diversity and the contribution of functional traits in mangrove ecosystems dynamics in western Mexico remain unknown. In this study, we assessed functional variability and intraspecific trait variation in three ...
