Abstract As a product/co-product of biomass thermochemical conversion, the yield and quality of biochar depend on its source material and the production process, so is its performance in soil conditioning. In this mini-review, various technologies, including slow pyroly...

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 and broad geographic scales. Here, we analyze ...

The present study evaluated the short-term response (<6 months), of water physicochemical parameters to hydrological rehabilitation (HR) of clogged channels in mangrove of Cispata, Colombian Caribbean. Between September-2018 and September-2019, we measure the water phys...

Plants and animals evolve different attachment structures and strategies for reversible or permanent adhesion to different substrate types. For vascular epiphytes, having the ability to permanently attach to their host plants is essential for establishment and survival....

Regional factors, such as historical and contemporary climate conditions, and local factors, such as vegetation structural attributes, can influence current patterns of plant species richness but their relative roles remain unknown, particularly across forest strata. He...

The use of native species for timber plantations in the tropics has lately gained interest. Recent studies have shown that native tree plantations can have greater economic, and ecological benefits than non-native plantations. Facilitative nutritional interactions with ...

For this study, different approaches found in the literature to obtain the Land Surface Temperature (LST) were evaluated through Geographic Information tools, to validate the temperature results obtained from dynamic simulations at urban scale with the Envi-met software...

The Panama Bight eco-region along the Pacific coast of central and South America is considered to have one of the best-preserved mangrove ecosystems in the American continent. The regional climate, with rainfall easily reaching 5–8 m every year and weak wind conditions,...

With the globalization and proliferation of COVID-19, new challenges have emerged in higher education regarding the use and integration of new technologies. In this context, the University is called upon to organize, distribute and design the best strategies to overcome...

Leaf respiration in the dark (Rdark) and light (Rday) is poorly characterized in diverse tropical ecosystems, and little to no information exists on the degree of light suppression in common tree species within the Amazon basin, and their dependences upon plant function...
