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 ...
Assessing soil water repellency of a sandy field with visible near infrared spectroscopy
(Scopus, 2015)
Soil water repellency (WR) is a widespread phenomenon caused by aggregated organic matter (OM) and layers of hydrophobic organic
substances coating the surface of soil particles. These substances have a very low surface ...

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 ...
Micropropagación masiva de Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni en sistemas de inmersión temporal
(Revista Cultivos Tropicales, 2015)
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, familia Asteraceae, es conocida como “yerba dulce” por poseer un edulcorante natural. Sus propiedades provienen de la presencia de glicósidos diterpenos denominados esteviósidos y rebaudiósidos ...

Transgenic crops of plant origin are widely used globally in animal and male diets, however, no genetically modified animal has been approved for human consumption. This article mentions about the process and the regulated ...
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 ...
Sensibility analysis of the Trace Transform on land coverage images
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
Aerial or satellital images may be used to produce terrain coverage maps, which in time are a very useful and important tool for decision-making in several fields including biodiversity, telecommunications and natural ...
