(Rial, A., Señaris, J., Lasso, C. Flores, A. (Eds). Evaluación rápida de la biodiversidad y aspectos socioecosistémicos del ramal de Calderas, Andes de Venezuela. Capítulo 1. RAP Bulletin of Biological Assessment 56. Conservation International, Arlington, VA. USA. pp. 45-49, 2010)
El Ramal de Calderas está ubicado en la porción nororiental de la cordillera de Mérida, sobre su vertiente llanera, en el Estado Barinas, Andes de Venezuela. Esta región está formada por una sucesión de afloramientos ...
Patrones de vientos troposféricos en la cuenca del Lago de Maracaibo, Venezuela.
(2010)
Se estudió el patrón de vientos en la baja tropósfera, en los sectores meridional y oriental de la cuenca del Lago de Maracaibo utilizando globospilotos, durante el período abril-mayo de 2004. Los lanzamientos se hicieron ...
Leaf gas exchange in canopy species of a Venezuelan cloud forest
(Biotropica 41(6): 659-664, 2009-11)
Tropical cloud forests are considered humid ecosystems with frequent cloud cover down to the ground surface. However, seasonal variation in precipitation may induce
short-term water stress. For canopy leaves, this water ...
Coupling soil water and shoot dynamics in three grass species: A spatial stochastic model on water competition in Neotropical savanna
(Ecological Modelling 220: 2734 - 2743, 2009-10-24)
Savannas are ecosystems known for their high environmental and economic value. They cover at least 20% of the global land surface and, in some cases, can act as a boundary between tropical rainforest and deserts.Water is ...
Low temperature resistance in saplings and ramets of Polylepis sericea in the Venezuelan Andes
(Acta Oecologica 35(5): 610–613, 2009-10)
The frequent occurrence of all year-round below zero temperatures in tropical high mountains constitutes a most stressful climatic factor that plants have to confront. Polylepis forests are found well above
the continuous ...
Interception of water by pastures of Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. ex Chiov. and Melinis minutiflora Beauv
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology 149: 1616-1620, 2009-10)
The conversion of montane cloud forests into pastures for grazing cattle is the main cause of important impacts on rivers and streams in most of the Andes. In order to evaluate the effects of vegetation changes we need to ...
Sensitivity of soil restoration indicators during paramo succession in the high tropical Andes: chronosequence and permanent plot approaches
(Restoration Ecology 17(5): 619-628, 2009-09)
The aim of this study was to analyze indicators of soil restoration during secondary succession in a heterogeneous
valley in the high tropical Andes. A combination of chronosequence and permanent plot methods was used to ...
Un método participativo para el mapeo de fincas y la recolección de estadísticas agrícolas aplicable a varias escalas espaciales
(Interciencia 34(7): 479-486, 2009-07-28)
Se diseñó y probó un método para el mapeo participativo de fincas y la recolección de información agrícola, en el cual los
pobladores delimitan los linderos de sus fincas y realizan su sectorización interna directamente ...
