Children’s environmental perception of protected areas in the Atlantic Rainforest / Percepción ambiental infantil en la selva tropical. Cómo los niños perciben las áreas protegidas de la selva tropical

Psyecology, 2015
Interaction between children and protected natural environments was analysed in an exploratory method investigation conducted by a multi-disciplinary team in the Atlantic Rainforest. The purpose was to understand the environmental perceptions of children about the natural environment of a biological reserve’s buffer zone in which they live.

PERSISTENCE OF ROCK-DERIVED NUTRIENTS IN THE WET TROPICAL FORESTS OF LA SELVA, COSTA RICA

Ecology, 2006
We used strontium isotopes and analysis of foliar and soil nutrients to test whether erosion can rejuvenate the supply of rock-derived nutrients in the lowland tropical rain forest of La Selva, Costa Rica. We expected that these nutrients would be depleted from soils on stable surfaces, a result of over one million years of weathering in situ. In fact,

Seasonal variation of tropical precipitation chemistry: La Selva, Costa Rica

Atmospheric Environment, 1997
Abstract The chemistry of wet precipitation was measured from February 1992 to February 1995 at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. Sea salt aerosols were the primary contributors to Na + , Cl − , and Mg 2+ ; however, K + , Ca 2+ , and SO 4 2− were derived primarily from non-sea-salt sources.

Wood retention and transport in tropical, headwater streams, La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica

Geomorphology, 2010
article i nfo Wood in tropical streams has the potential to be more mobile than wood in otherwise similar temperate streams because of the warm and humid conditions that promote decay and the more frequent and flashier floods of the tropics. To test this hypothesis, we monitored all large wood pieces for 2.3 years in 10 50-m- long reaches of old-growth

Retrieval of vertical LAI profiles over tropical rain forests using waveform lidar at La Selva, Costa Rica

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2012
Abstract This study explores the potential of waveform lidar in mapping the vertical and spatial distributions of leaf area index (LAI) over the tropical rain forest of La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. Vertical profiles of LAI were derived at 0.3 m height intervals from the Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) data using the Geometric ...

Canopy closure and the distribution of tropical forest tree species at La Selva, Costa Rica

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1995
ABSTRACTAn index of canopy closure was used to estimate closure above the crowns of all trees ≥ 10 cm dbh in 11.11 ha of undisturbed lowland tropical forest at La Selva, Costa Rica. To correct for the efFects of tree size on canopy closure, we used the residual of the regression of the canopy closure index on tree size.

La Estacionalidad de las Flores Utilizadas por los Colibries de una Selva Tropical Humeda en Mexico

Biotropica, 1975
A 15-month study of the flowering season of the hummingbird flower community was conducted in an evergreen rain forest in the southeastern part of Mexico (Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz). This community comprised at least 11 species of htummingbirds and 26 species of flowering plants.
