Little is known about the extent of remaining forest types. A multivariate analysis of 144 forest plots across Costa Rica's San Juan-La Selva Biological Corridor resulted in eight floristically defined old-growth forest categories. Spectral separability was tested between categories using Landsat TM bands and vegetation indices for old-growth types, palm swamps, tree plantations and regrowth. Image filtering and NDVI increased spectral separability among categories by 30 per cent. Separability tests resulted in seven well-discriminated forest categories. Factors driving forest beta-diversity are not well quantified for wet tropical environments. We examined the relationship between rain forest composition and environmental variation for a 3000 km2 area in northeastern Costa Rica. 2014-10-17T05:32:37Z 2014-10-17T05:32:37Z 2006 Tesis de doctorado 370263 https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/43 Turrialba (Costa Rica) en application/pdf CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica) |
