Impacts of habitat degradation on tropical montane biodiversity and ecosystem services: a systematic map for identifying future research priorities
Tropical montane forests (TMFs) are major centers of evolutionary change and harbor many
endemic species with small geographic ranges. In this systematic map, we focus on the …

Effect of land cover and use on dry season river runoff, runoff efficiency, and peak storm runoff in the seasonal tropics of Central Panama
A paired catchment methodology was used with more than 3 years of data to test whether
forests increase base flow in the dry season, despite reduced annual runoff caused by …

Runoff generation in a steep, tropical montane cloud forest catchment on permeable volcanic substrate
Most studies to date in the humid tropics have described a similar pattern of rapid translation
of rainfall to runoff via overland flow and shallow subsurface stormflow. However, study sites …
