Landscape-scale controls on aboveground forest carbon stocks on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
(Public Library of Science, 2015-06)
Tropical forests store large amounts of carbon in tree biomass, although the environmental controls on forest carbon stocks remain poorly resolved. Emerging airborne remote sensing techniques offer a powerful approach to ...
Evaluation of biodeterioration and the dynamic modulus of elasticity of wood in ten fast-growing tropical species in costa rica exposed to field testing
(Statny Drevarsky Vyskumny Ustav, 2015)
In tropical regions, it is possible to produce a large variety of timber species in plantation conditions. However, wood from these trees has low natural durability. Biodeterioration and the dynamic modulus of elasticity ...
Environmental gradients and the evolution of successional habitat specialization: a test case with 14 neotropical forest sites
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015-09)
Successional gradients are ubiquitous in nature, yet few studies have systematically examined the evolutionary origins of taxa that specialize at different successional stages. Here we quantify successional habitat ...
Overcoming obstacles to sharing data on tree allometric equations
(Springer-Verlag France, 2015-09)
Advances in ecology face the complexity of ecosystems with dynamics longer than a single scientist’s career. In forestry and REDD+ practice, in particular, our ability to understand forest ecosystem dynamics and to manage ...
