The opossum and other didelphids in the cultures of Costa Rican society and indigenous peoples: an approach to ecology and conservation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (Estados Unidos), 2024)
The opossum Didelphis marsupialis, commonly referred to as the zorro pelón in Costa Rica, is a marsupial that holds significant representation in both Costa Rican and indigenous cultures, such as the Talamanca natives. ...
Evaluación de la huella de agua y la gestión del recurso hídrico en las industrias
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) (Costa Rica), 2022-06)
La forma en que se gestiona el recurso hídrico en las industrias puede ser de gran influencia en sus beneficios y utilidades, así
como en el acceso a fondos verdes. Con el incremento de la población, la expansión agrícola ...
Polypropylene Composites Reinforced with Lignocellulose Nanocrystals of Corncob: Thermal and Mechanical Properties
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2024-03-29)
Composites based on recycled polypropylene (PP) reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals whit lignin corncob were prepared. The effect of the ratio composites prepared via a compression molding process on the mechanical and ...

Frontiers in páramo water resources research: A multidisciplinary assessment
(Elsevier (Países Bajos), 2023)
Interdisciplinary knowledge is necessary to achieve sustainable management of natural resources. However, research
is still often developed in an exclusively disciplinary manner, hampering the capacity to holistically ...
ENSO sentinels in the Americas' humid tropics: We need combined hydrometric and isotopic monitoring for improved El Niño and La Niña impact prediction
(John Wiley & Sons (Estados Unidos), 2023)
This Scientific Briefing presents results from a nearly 10-year hydrometric and isotope
monitoring network across north-central Costa Rica, a region known as a
headwater-dependent system. This monitoring system has ...
Nitrate Legacy in a Tropical and Complex Fractured Volcanic Aquifer System
(John Wiley & Sons (Estados Unidos), 2023)
Nitrate legacy is affecting groundwater sources across the tropics. This study describes isotopic
and ionic spatial trends across a tropical, fractured, volcanic multi-aquifer system in central Costa Rica in
relation to ...
Exploring the acid neutralizing effect in rainwater collected at a tropical urban area: Central Valley, Costa Rica
(Elsevier (Países Bajos), 2023)
We report on the chemical and the carbon isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) of rainwater
collected between May and October 2020 in the Central Valley, Costa Rica. Precipitation samples were ...
Dry season plant water sourcing in contrasting tropical ecosystems of Costa Rica
(John Wiley & Sons (Estados Unidos), 2023)
Tracer-aided studies to understand plant water uptake sources and dynamics in tropical
ecosystems are limited. Here, we report the analysis of dry season source water
uptake patterns of five unique ecosystems of Costa ...
Hydrometeorological Factors Controlling the Stable Isotopic Composition of Precipitation in the Highlands of South Ecuador
(American Meteorological Society (Estados Unidos), 2022-07)
Knowledge about precipitation generation remains limited in the tropical Andes due to the lack of water stable isotope (WSI) data. Therefore, we investigated the key factors controlling the isotopic composition of precipitation ...
