Vochysia guatemalensis Donn. Smith, an alternative species for reforestation on acid tropical soils
New Forests, 2016 'Vochysia guatemalensis' Donn. Smith is a native species commonly used in small-scale reforestation programs in Costa Rica recognized for its fast growth under acidic and unfertile soil conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the nutrient concentration dynamics on individual trees of 'V.

Reduced aboveground tree growth associated with higher arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity in tropical forest restoration. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 In an effort to understand the role of mycorrhizal fungi community in forest restoration in southern Costa Rica, we sampled the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community across eight sites that were planted with the same species but varied twofold to fourfold in overall tree growth rates.

Leaf litter arthropod responses to tropical forest restoration. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 Soil and litter arthropods represent a large proportion of tropical biodiversity and perform important ecosystem functions, but little is known about the efficacy of different tropical forest restoration strategies in facilitating their recovery in degraded habitats.

Restoration Ecology, 2019 This study shows that Vochysia guatemalensis tree plantations were associated with enhanced soil biotic and abiotic characteristics in previously cleared forests in the northern zone of Costa Rica, suggesting the possible use of this practice as a restoration strategy for local land owners. Soil samples from a primary forest, secondary forest, and a 13‐

Variation in Selected Wood Properties of Vochysia Guatemalensis from Four Sites in Costa Rica
Forest Science, 1998 Abstract Vochysia guatemalensis D. Smith is distributed naturally from Mexico to Panama. It is a promising species for commercial reforestation on degraded lands, but little is known about the variation in important wood traits. Trees of this species were sampled in four natural stands to estimate the variation and radial gradients in ...

Flooring characteristics of thermo-mechanical densified wood from three hardwood tropical species in costa rica [PDF]
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2021 Densification is one method used to modify low-density woods to make them achieve the hardness required for flooring application. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thermo-mechanical densification with pre-heating in wood of Alnus

Rapidly growing tropical trees mobilize remarkable amounts of nitrogen, in ways that differ surprisingly among species. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012 Fast-growing forests such as tropical secondary forests can accumulate large amounts of carbon (C), and thereby play an important role in the atmospheric CO2 balance.

Agronomía Costarricense, 2015 Se evalúa el crecimiento de Vochysia guatemalensis en Ultisoles e Inceptisoles de la Región Huetar Norte de Costa Rica. Este documento presenta las condiciones de los sitios donde la especie está creciendo en la región bajo estudio. Por medio de variables físicas y químicas de los suelos, se explicó el comportamiento del índice de sitio (IS) y su ...
