Geographic description | The study was conducted at La Selva Biological Station located in the lowlands of northeastern Costa Rica (10 deg 26 min N, 84 deg 01 min W) and adjacent Braulio Carrillo National Park. This study region constitutes a corridor of continuous forest from sea level at La Selva Biological Station (LS) to elevations higher than 2,900 m a.s.l. at the Braulio Carrillo National Park. Our study sites were located at three different elevations: low (50 m) in LS, mid (1,000 m) and high elevation (2,000 m) in the park. According to Holdridge's (1967) life zone classification, forests represented at those three elevations are tropical wet, pre-montane and lower montane wet forest. All sites were located in old-growth forest. Canopy heights were approximately 35 m at LS, 30 m at 1,000 m, and 20 m at 2,000 m (Hartshorn and Peralta 1988). Mean annual temperature ranges from 25 deg C at LS to 14 deg C in the highlands, while mean annual precipitation ranges from 4,300 mm in the lowlands to 2,200 mm in the highlands (Blake and Loiselle 2000). The dry season lasts from January to April and the wettest months are July and October-November. |
