TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the main components of this international validation effort, including the current participants, their ground LAI measurements and scaling techniques, and the metadata and infrastructure established to share data.

TL;DR: The conocimiento actual de las dimensiones humanas and bio-fisicas de los cambios in los bosque secos tropicales and sus efectos acumulativos esta en las etapas iniciales del Descubrimiento Acadímico.

TL;DR: The floristic composition, species diversity, similarity and richness among three stages of forest regeneration, and the influence of past land use and the frequency of anthropogenic disturbances on species composition in a seasonally dry tropical forest in northwestern Costa Rica are described.

TL;DR: The lack of conservation effort in tropical dry forests is reflected in the fact that few national parks and biological reserves protect and preserve their natural richness, and there are only a handful of real biological research stations with a mandate to bridge the gap between ecology and conservation biology in these ecosystems as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the use of EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral satellite imagery for mapping structure and floristic diversity in a Neotropical tropical dry forest as a way of assessing a region's ecological fingerprint.
