Damage patterns after Hurricane Dean in the southern Yucatán: Has human activity resulted in more resilient forests?

2013-12-01

Abstract excerpt

We investigated how patterns of hurricane damage were related to windspeed, stand characteristics, and land use in a region where forest composition and structure have been strongly influenced by human activities. In 2007 Hurricane Dean hit the biological corridor between the two largest biosphere reserves on the Yucatán Peninsula as a category 5 hurricane. Land use in the corridor has altered both landscape and f...
