Plant composition in the Maya Biosphere Reserve: natural and anthropogenic influences

2010-05-01

Abstract excerpt

We studied the floristic composition and stand structure of lowland forests of the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR) of El Petén, Guatemala. Sampling was performed over a gradient of human influence, including a newly established returnee community (migrant), the cooperative Unión Maya Itzá, as well as an adjacent protected area within the core area of the MBR. Five 1-ha plots, each divided into 100 contiguous 10 × 10...
