    • Climate reverses directionality in the richness–abundance relationship across the World’s main forest biomes 

      Madrigal González, Jaime; Calatayud, Joaquín; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Escudero, Adrián; Cayuela, Luis; Rueda García, Marta; Ruiz Benito, Paloma; Herrero Méndez, Asier; Aponte Perales, Cristina; Sagardía Parga, Rodrigo Oscar; Plumptre, Andrew J.; Dupire, Sylvain; Espinosa, Carlos Iván; Tutubalina, Olga; Myint, Moe; Pataro, Luciano; López Sáenz, Jerome; Macía, Manuel J.; Abegg, Meinrad; Zavala, Miguel A.; Quesada Román, Adolfo; Vega Araya, Mauricio; Golubeva, Elena; Timokhina, Yuliya; Stoffel, Markus (2020-11-06)
      More tree species can increase the carbon storage capacity of forests (here referred to as the more species hypothesis) through increased tree productivity and tree abundance resulting from complementarity, but they can ...

    • Dendrogeomorphic reconstruction of floods in a dynamic tropical river 

      Quesada Román, Adolfo; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Granados Bolaños, Sebastián; Birkel Dostal, Christian; Stoffel, Markus (2020-06-15)
      Tropical regions are frequently affected by intense floods causing substantial human and economic losses. A proper management of floods and the prevention of disasters is, however, often hampered by a generalized paucity of ...

    • Glacial geomorphology of the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica 

      Quesada Román, Adolfo; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Stoffel, Markus; Zamorano Orozco, José Juan (2019)
      Several regions of tropical America show imprints of past glacial activity. These relict landforms can support the understanding of past climate conditions, such as during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and the implications ...

    • Global patterns of tree density are contingent upon local determinants in the world’s natural forests 

      Madrigal González, Jaime; Calatayud, Joaquín; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Escudero, Adrián; Cayuela, Luis; Marqués, Laura; Rueda García, Marta; Ruiz Benito, Paloma; Herrero, Asier; Aponte Perales, Cristina; Sagardía Parga, Rodrigo Oscar; Plumptre, Andrew J.; Dupire, Sylvain; Espinosa, Carlos Iván; Tutubalina, Olga; Myint, Moe; Pataro, Luciano; López Sáenz, Jerome; Macía, Manuel J.; Abegg, Meinrad; Zavala, Miguel A.; Quesada Román, Adolfo; Vega Araya, Mauricio; Golubeva, Elena; Timokhina, Yuliya; Bañares de Dios, Guillermo; Granzow de la Cerda, Íñigo; Stoffel, Markus (2023)
      Previous attempts to quantify tree abundance at global scale have largely neglected the role of local competition in modulating the influence of climate and soils on tree density. Here, we evaluated whether mean tree size ...

    • Improving regional flood risk assessment using flood frequency and dendrogeomorphic analyses in mountain catchments impacted by tropical cyclones 

      Quesada Román, Adolfo; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Granados Bolaños, Sebastián; Birkel Dostal, Christian; Stoffel, Markus (2022-01-01)
      River floods frequently occur when tropical cyclones hit land. Nonetheless, systematic, long-term discharge data remain rather scarce in many tropical countries, which prevent proper analysis of peak discharges occurring ...

    • Neotropical Hypericum irazuense shrubs reveal recent ENSO variability in Costa Rican páramo 

      Quesada Román, Adolfo; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Guillet, Sébastien; Madrigal González, Jaime; Stoffel, Markus (2020-06)
      Climate-vegetation relations in alpine systems play a pivotal role in regulating hydrology and have thus become a research priority in a context of ongoing climate change. In this paper, we investigate how one of the ...

    • Relationships between earthquakes, hurricanes, and landslides in Costa Rica 

      Quesada Román, Adolfo; Fallas López, Berny; Hernández Espinoza, Karina María; Stoffel, Markus; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio (2019-06-03)
      Landslides are a common natural hazard in Costa Rica, recurrently triggered by seismicity and extraordinary rainfall. Here, we investigate the coalescence of both processes and their ability to trigger massive landslides ...

    • Tropical and subtropical dendrochronology: Approaches, applications, and prospects 

      Quesada Román, Adolfo; Ballesteros Cánovas, Juan Antonio; Scott St., George (2022-09)
      Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7 % of the Earth’s land surface. Yet, they host nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (~40,000 species), store up to 25 % of global terrestrial carbon and ...
