Change in oak to pine dominance in secondary forests may reduce shifting agriculture yields: experimental evidence from Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: In this article, the consequences of pine dominance on soil fertility and subsequent crop yields were investigated in the mountains of Chiapas, southern Mexico, where three successive crops, Triticum aestivum L. var. cv. (common bread wheat), and a local landrace of Zea mays L var.cv.

Uncertainties in estimating the potential for carbon mitigation of forest management
TL;DR: A proposal of a forest management project was used to identify the main sources of uncertainties in the calculation of the GHG-offset impact, and variations in parameter values to calculate C fluxes generated uncertainties of around 10%.

The Diet of Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno mocinno: Trogonidae) in a Mexican Cloud Forest1
TL;DR: The view that the quetzal is a specialized frugivore, feeding mainly on fruits of the family Lauraceae is supported, especially during the non-breeding season, when they move up to 3 km/d, adding up to several dozen km in a season.
