Measurement of actual evapotranspiration in a páramo ecosystem using portable closed chambers: Comparison between giant rosettes, tussock grasses and shrubs Open
The páramos are Neotropical alpine tundra‐like ecosystems that play a crucial role as biodiversity hotspots and also act as water sources for the inter‐Andean regions and cities. Improving our understanding of hydrological processes, here …

Tree growth periodicity in the ever‐wet tropical forest of the Americas Open
The occurrence of annual growth rings in tropical trees—the result of the seasonal activity of vascular cambium—has been explained by seasonal water deficit or flooding periods. However, little is known about the drivers of annual tree‐rin…

The researcher–practitioner symbiosis: Evolving mutualisms from parachutes Open
Researchers and practitioners often exist symbiotically, but this relationship does not always benefit both parties. We here discuss a mutualistic research symbiosis that our organizations have developed over the last decade, the challenge…

Contrasts in Top Soil Infiltration Processes for Degraded vs. Restored Lands. A Case Study at the Perijá Range in Colombia Open
Governments are increasingly committing to significant ecological restoration. However, the impacts of forest restoration on local hydrological services are surprisingly poorly understood. Particularly, limited information is available abo…

Subsurface water fluxes and their controls in a sloping heterogeneously layered volcanic soil beneath a supra-wet tropical montane cloud forest (NW Costa Rica) Open
Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) receive additional (‘occult’) inputs of water from fog and wind-driven rain. Together with the concomitant reduction in evaporative losses, this typically leads to high soil moisture levels (often appr…

Assessment of fog gauges and their effectiveness in quantifying fog in the Andean páramo Open
In tropical highlands of the northern Andes, known as páramos, fog incidence is very frequent. Its quantification is not yet clear, mostly because of the complexity of distinguishing between fog and low‐intensity rainfall. Moreover, there …

Avances y desafíos en el conocimiento de los bosques mesófilos de montaña de México Open
Los “bosques mesófilos de montaña” son ecosistemas que se caracterizan por el nivel de estratos arbóreos, abundantes helechos y epífitas. Actualmente esta formación vegetal se encuentra en forma de relictos en algunas de las cañadas del pa…
