This is made possible by 75 years of research and applications by the United States Department of Agriculture, International Institute of Tropical Forestry (the Institute) of Puerto Rico. It transforms Holocene-based scientific paradigms of the tropics into Anthropocene applications and outlooks of wilderness, managed forests, and urban environments. This volume showcases how the focus of the Institute?s programs is evolving to support sustainable tropical forest conservation despite uncertain conditions. The manuscripts showcased here highlight the importance of shared stewardship and a long-term, hands-on approach to conservation, research programs, and novel organizations intended to meet contemporary conservation challenges. Policies relevant to the Anthropocene, as well as the use of experiments to anticipate future responses of tropical forests to global warming, are reexamined in these pages. Urban topics include how cities can co-produce new knowledge to spark sustainable and resilient transformations. Long-term results and research applications of topics such as soil biota, migratory birds, tropical vegetation, substrate chemistry, and the tropical carbon cycle are also described in the volume. Moreover, the question of how to best use land on a tropical island is addressed. This volume is intended to be of interest to all actors involved in long-term sustainable forest management and research in light of the historical lessons and future directions that may come out of a better understanding of tropical cities and forests in the Anthropocene epoch. 610 $aCa/Al relationship 610 $asoil organic carbon 610 $atrees 610 $aN/P ratios 610 $ahumid tropical forests 610 $a?15N 610 $aelement concentration 610 $aleaf C and N densities 610 $atropical deforestation 610 $atropical forest area 610 $ahurricane 610 $aU.S. Forest Service Planning Rule 610 $aEl Yunque National Forest 610 $aconservation 610 $aleaf mass per area 610 $aknowledge infrastructures 610 $aknowledge systems 610 $aidiom of co-production 610 $adisturbance 610 $aPuerto Rico 610 $anovel forests 610 $aannual cycle 610 $alatitude 610 $aexperiments 610 $aTropical Forest Management 610 $asecondary forests 610 $amature forests 610 $aAmerican tropics 610 $astoichiometry of leaf litter 610 $aallometry 610 $acommunications 610 $acontemporary conservation 610 $aand N/P ratios 610 $asuccession 610 $aphotosynthetic nitrogen use-efficiency 610 $abiomass 610 $alitter 610 $abasal area 610 $aknowledge systems analysis 610 $atropical 610 $aLong-Term Ecological Research 610 $anaturalized species 610 $aGuánica 610 $aCaribbean 610 $aknowledge co-production 610 $aC/N 610 $aC/P 610 $avolume expansion factors 610 $atropical forest 610 $awood 610 $astrategic teams 610 $adry tropical forests 610 $atree plantations 610 $aspecies composition 610 $aclimate change 610 $acities 610 $aTropical Forest Conservation 610 $aNearctic-Neotropical 610 $avision 610 $aforest inventory data 610 $alarge-scale 610 $atropical forest management 610 $amicrobiota 610 $asoil biota 610 $aadaptive management 610 $aLuquillo Experimental Forest 610 $aTropical Forestry Research 610 $anitrogen fixing trees 610 $aspecies dominance 610 $along-term ecological research 610 $anetwork governance 610 $aleadership 610 $aForest Service 610 $a?13C 610 $aelevation 610 $aAnthropocene 610 $atropical karst 610 $ageospatial analyses 610 $amanipulations 610 $agradients 610 $alandscape conservation 610 $aelement concentration in leaf litter 610 $atropical agriculture 610 $aland use planning 610 $atropical forests 610 $acarry over effects 610 $ainvertebrates 610 $aintroduced species 610 $aland use governance 610 $along-term 700 $aGonzález$b Grizelle$4auth$01301159 702 $aLugo$b Ariel$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367736703321 996 $aTropical Forest Ecology and Management for the Anthropocene$93025741 997 $aUNINA
