Tropical primary forests have been disappearing quickly to make use of the land for
commercial purposes. Land-use change has an impact on downstream aquatic processes …

Reductions of zooplankton biomasses and grazing pressures were observed during
overfishing-induced trophic cascades and concurrent oil spills at global scales. Recent …

The degradation of forest ecosystems has an important role in global warming through the
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. The response of soil organic matter fractions and …

In the high-elevation humid tropics, human-and climate-driven land transitions can alter
hydrologic connections between the atmosphere and surface waters, with local and …

Land use and land cover (LULC) can significantly alter river water, which can in turn have
important impacts on downstream coastal ecosystems by delivering nutrients that promote …

The physical process of soil erosion leads to a range of impacts–both onsite and offsite–
such as land degradation, nutrient depletion and sedimentation, which in turn affect different …

Aim Neotropical biomes are highly threatened by land‐use changes, but the catchment‐
wide biogeochemical effects are poorly understood. Here, we aim to compare exports of …

We review data from coastal Pacific Panama and other tropical coasts with two aims. First,
we defined inputs and losses of nitrogen (N) mediating connectivity of watersheds …

We identified eight Panamanian watersheds in which conversion from wet tropical forest to
pastures differed and assessed the effects of degree of deforestation, and down-estuary …

During the 2013 meeting of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, Iris Anderson,
acting on behalf of the CERF Board, invited me to write an Odum Essay, describing the long …
