Background The combination of rising sea levels and increased likelihood of extreme storm
events poses a major threat to our coastlines and as a result, many ecosystems recognized …

Ecological processes, such as migration and phenology, are strongly influenced by climate
variability. Studying these processes often relies on associating observations of animals and …

Abstract Background and Aims Coastal protection from erosion and flooding is a significant
ecosystem service provided by vegetated marine systems. Kelp beds are a dominant habitat …

There is evidence that variable and synchronous reproduction in seed plants (masting)
correlates to modes of climate variability, eg El Niño Southern Oscillation and North Atlantic …

Lianas profoundly affect tropical forests dynamics, reducing productivity and carbon storage,
which underscores the importance of monitoring change in their abundance in projecting the …

Recent climate change has been shown to alter aspects of forest plant demography, such as
growth and mortality, but less attention has been focused on how climate change alters the …

Abstract El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the variation between anomalously cold (La
Niña) and warm conditions (El Niño), is one of the most prominent large-scale climate …

Understanding the mechanisms that promote the coexistence of hundreds of species over
small areas in tropical forest remains a challenge. Many tropical tree species are presumed …

With projected increasing intensity of hurricanes and large uncertainty in the path of forest
recovery from hurricanes, studies are needed to understand the fundamental response of …

Introducción: Se han realizado múltiples estudios en bosques afectados por huracanes,
pero la información obtenida para Costa Rica es escasa, o nula en el caso de impactos …
