We tested the independent and combined impacts of these effects on birds, amphibians, and reptiles found in cacao agroforestry systeMON of Waslala, Nicaragua. This study shows the biodiversity conservation value of floristic and structural complex cacao agroforestry systeMON but stress the idea that such habitats are no substitute to natural forests as they fall short in providing habitat and food resource to most forest affiliated species. This was evident as secondary forests supported greatest richness and abundance of forest specialist birds. El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar dos elementos críticos para la conservación de la biodiversidad: complejidad de hábitat y contexto paisajístico. Comprobamos el impacto tanto independiente como en conjunto de estos elementos sobre la avifauna y herpetofauna registrada en los sistemas agroforestales de cacao en Waslala, Nicaragua. El presente estudio demuestra el valor de conservación de la biodiversidad que juegan los sistemas agroforestales de cacao complejos en estructura y composición botánica, pero enfatiza la idea que no son substitutos de los bosques naturales ya que no proveen los recursos necesarios para especies especialistas de bosque. Esto fue evidente ya que los bosques registraron la mayor riqueza de aves especialistas de bosque. 2014-10-20T05:43:06Z 2014-10-20T05:43:06Z 2010 Tesis de maestría 375489 https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/5595 Turrialba (Costa Rica) en 109 páginas application/pdf CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica)
