Territorio, Recursos Naturales y Ambiente: hacia una historia comparada : Estudio a través de Argentina, México, Costa Rica, Haití, Paraguay, Uruguay y Venezuela
(Ediciones F.E.P.A.I. (Fundación para el Estudio del Pensamiento Argentino e Iberoamericano), 2014-05)
Nuestro objetivo principal ha sido establecer parámetros para una estudio comparativo de los recursos naturales y el ambiente, en función del territorio, en América Latina, a partir del estudio de casos particulares. Más ...
Análisis del impacto de fenómenos meteorológicos en Costa Rica, América Central, originados en los mares circundantes
(Centro de Investigaciones Geofísicas 14 (2014): 1-11, 2014-01-19)
Se revisaron en este estudio fuentes de información histórica locales, como los boletines producidos por el Instituto Meteorológico Nacional, para cuantificar los eventos climáticos relevantes y los impactos asociados a ...
Understanding uncertainties in future Colorado River streamflow
(Bulletin of the American Meterorological Society 95(1): 58-81, 2014-01)
The Colorado River is the primary water source for more than 30 million people in the United States and Mexico. Recent studies that project streamflow changes in the Colorado River all project annual declines, but the ...
Los Bosques del "Progreso" Explotación forestal y régimen ambiental en Costa Rica: 1883-1955
(Editorial Nuevas Perspectivas, 2013-03)
El presente libro busca dar cuenta en su complejidad, de la dinámica de la explotación económica de los bosques en la Costa Rica "liberal", guiada por la impronta de una incuestionable lógica del "progreso" capitalista, y ...
Nitrapyrin effectiveness in reducing nitrous oxide emissions decreases at low doses of urea in an Andosol
(2021)
In the tropics, frequent nitrogen (N) fertilization of grazing areas can potentially increase nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The application of nitrification inhibitors has been reported as an effective management practice ...
Investigation of pharmaceuticals in a conventional wastewater treatment plant: Removal efficiency, seasonal variation and impact of a nearby hospital
(2021-08)
Discharges from the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are among the main sources of contamination to receiving surface water, therefore the quality of treated wastewater needs to be properly monitored. However, not only ...
Selective-enrichment as a Tool to Obtain Microbial Degrading Consortia for the Remediation of Pesticide Residues
(2021)
Inadequate disposal of pesticides during their extensive use in agricultural practices may result in soil, surface, and groundwater pollution. These agrochemicals affect a wide variety of non-target organisms, and their ...
Environmental monitoring and risk assessment in a tropical Costa Rican catchment under the influence of melon and watermelon crop pesticides
(2021)
A monitoring network was established in streams within a catchment near the Costa Rican Pacific coast (2008–2011) to estimate the impact of pesticides in surface water (84 samples) and sediments (84 samples) in areas under ...
Nitrification inhibitor nitrapyrin does not affect yiel-scaled nitrous oxide emissions in a tropical grassaland
(2021)
Urea is the most common nitrogen (N) fertilizer used in the tropics but it has the risk of high gaseous nitrogen (N) losses. Use of nitrification inhibitor has been suggested as a potential mitigation measure for gaseous ...
Simultaneous degradation of pharmaceuticals in fixed and fluidized bed reactors using iron-modified diatomite as heterogeneous Fenton catalyst
(2021)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of pelletized iron-modified diatomite as heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the removal of carbamazepine, clindamycin, gemfibrozil, ketoprofen, florfenicol, and sulfamethazine, ...
