(a) Location map of study site. The Luquillo Mountains are located on the eastern edge of Puerto Rico in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, known colloquially as El Yunque. The site is located in the El Yunque quadrangle (18° 15′N, 65° 50′ W). (b) Regolith samples were taken from a slope of 30° at an elevation of by: sity of Puerto Rico, and the Institute of Tropical Forestry, Southern Forest Ex-periment Station, as part of the Long-Term Ecological Research Program in the Luquillo Experimental Forest. Additional support was provided by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the University of Puerto Rico. March Cited by:
Abstract. Between and studies were conducted of populations of Prestoea montana (Graham) Nicholson, Palicourea riparia Benth., Inga vera subsp. vera Wild, Cecropia peltata L., Buchenavia capitata (Vahl.) Eichl., and Manilkara bidentata (A.D.C.) in the tabonuco (Dacroydes excelsa Vahl.) forest of the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF) near El Verde, Puerto by: We assessed the effects of landscape features (vegetation type and topography), season, and spatial hierarchy on the nutrient content of surface soils in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF) of Puerto Rico. Considerable spatial variation characterized the soils of the LEF, and differences between replicate sites within each combination of vegetation type Cited by:

V., Bras, R. L. (): American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, Abstract NH23A AbstractSeveral species of amphidromous shrimp play important roles in the food webs of Neotropical freshwater stream ecosystems. We quantified the timing and magnitude of the upstream migration of 3 genera of amphidromous shrimp on the Rio Espiritu Santo in northeastern Puerto Rico. We then used multiple regression analyses to identify potential Cited by:

Ments within the Luquillo Experimental Forest in northeastern Puerto Rico. The analysis is restricted to instream-flow requirements in upland streams dominated by the common communities of freshwater decapods. In headwater streams, pool volume was the most consistent factor in predicting the abundance of common freshwater shrimp.

This study develops two habitat-based approaches for evaluating instream-flow requirements within the Luquillo Experimental Forest in northeastern Puerto Rico. The analysis is restricted to instream-flow requirements in upland streams dominated by the common communities of freshwater decapods.

Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico The US Forest Service Institute of Tropical Forestry (IITF) and Luquillo Experimental Forest and Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program have helped organize a series of arts activities, including an art exhibit, artist residencies, publication of books, and other outreach activities.
Using the spatial variation of storm intensity embedded in two hurricanes (Hugo in and Georges in ) that struck the 16 ha Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot in eastern Puerto Rico, we show that variation in susceptibility to storm damage is an. Inthe University of Puerto Rico established the ha Hurricane Recovery Plot in the lowland wet forest of the Luquillo Experimental Forest, a long-term research site of the U.S.
Forest Service and the largest protected forest area in Puerto Rico. This insular forest represented in the plot contains roughly tree and shrub species. The Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF) has been a center of tropical forestry research for nearly a century.
In addition, the LEF is a recreation site for over a half a million people per year, a water supply for approximately 20% of Puerto Rico's population, a regional center for electronic communication, and a refuge of Caribbean biodiversity. Yunque or “the Forest,” is in the Luquillo Mountains and dominates the northeastern corner of Puerto Rico (fig.
