El Compendio de 2019, igual que los anteriores (2007 y 2008), tiene el objetivo de difundir y facilitar el uso de los incentivos y programas disponibles para las prácticas inteligentes de conservación de recursos naturales entre los propietarios de terrenos privados y en terrenos de dominio público en Puerto Rico. Para las agencias e instituciones encargadas de la conservación y el manejo sustentable de los recursos naturales en Puerto Rico, el Compendio es, además de una importante referencia, una herramienta práctica para facilitar la implementación de los programas e incentivos que aquí se ...

We analyzed data sets from the Caspar Creek Watershed study, with a 55-year comprehensive record of hydrologic regime in two sub-watersheds with different logging treatments, and three separate instream biologic studies conducted since 1990. Long-term data sets of instream biota are rare, and we used them to investigate sediment regime response to forest harvest and extremes in flow regime. Increases in sediment transport after logging were observed in the North Fork during second experiment at Caspar Creek in the 1990’s. Our analysis found turbidities were higher after logging across the rang...

What's That Plant? is a fun and interactive plant learning module developed for educators to use with children grades K-12. The series of activities help students develop an awareness of fourteen plants that are important culturally and ecologically by exploring these native plants in their communities. The goal is to develop youth who will become wise stewards of the Earth. The young people who participate in the program will develop a heightened awareness of the natural world around them – including the challenges they face in protecting cultural and natural resources.Access all of the What'...

This document is based on previous documentation of the nationally standardized Forest Inventory and Analysis database (Hansen and others 1992; Woudenberg and Farrenkopf 1995; Miles and others 2001; Woudenberg and others 2010). Examples for producing population-level estimates are presented. This database provides a consistent framework for storing forest inventory data across all ownerships for the entire United States. These data are available to the public.Older versions of the FIADB Population Estimation Guide are available HERE.
