    Caldasia 23(1): 203-212 DIVERSITY AND HABITAT DIFFERENTIATION OF MOSSES AND LIVERWORTS IN THE CLOUD FOREST OF MONTEVERDE, COSTA RICA S. ROBGRADSTEIN Institute of Plant Sciences, University of Gottingen, Untere Karspiile 2, 37085 Gottingen, Germany DANAGRIFFIN I11 Florida State Museum, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 3261 1, U.S.A. MARIAISABEL MORALES Escuela de Biologia, Universidad de Costa Rica, Sun Josk, Costa Rica NALINIM. NADKARNI The Evergreen State College, Olympia, WA 98505, U.S.A. ABSTRACT An inventory of the understory and canopy of 4 ha of lower montane cloud forest at Monteverde, Costa Rica, yielded 190 bryophyte species: 133 hepatics, 56 mosses and 1 hornwort. Thick branches of the lower canopy were by far the richest habitat in terms of number of species (99), trunks from 1 m upwards had 65 species, lianas, shrubs, saplings, or living leaves in the understory had about 36-46 species each, and 16 species were found on rotten logs. The figures are illustrative of the great diversification of microhabitats of bryophytes in a tropical montane cloud forest. About 36% of the species, including more than half of the corticolous ones, occurred exclusively in the canopy. It appeared that the percentage ofbryophyte species restricted to the canopy may be the same in lowland and montane rain forests, in spite of the great differences in species abundance and composition in the two kinds of forest. Key words. Bryophytes, Cloud forest, Biodiversity, Costa Rica. RESUMEN Ciento noventa especies de briofitas (133 hepaticas, 56 musgos, 1 antocerote) fueron encontradas en un inventario hecho en 4 hectareas del sotobosque y el dosel en el bosque nublado (1 500 m) de Monteverde, Costa Rica.

  • COSTA RICA Livin' La Pura Vida 13 Days Created On: 27 Sep, 2021
    Tour Code OACR COSTA RICA Livin' la Pura Vida 13 days Created on: 27 Sep, 2021 Day 1 Arrival in San Jose Today we arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica. Overnight in San Jose. Meal Plan: Dinner, if required. Day 2 San Jose: Poas Volcano & National Museum First thing this morning (weather tends to be clearer at this time of day) we'll leave the city and head up to Poas Volcano, one of Costa Rica’s most popular active volcanoes to visit.* Standing at almost 2700m/8,900 ft above sea level, Volcan Poas National Park is actually home to two craters. The bigger of the two craters measures 1.5 kilometers in diameter (0.9 miles) and is 300 meters deep (900 feet). At the bottom of this hole, there is a medium sized blue-green lagoon that emits boiling sulphurous gases. The other crater is called Botos Lagoon which contains cold water. While Poas Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica, don’t expect to see lava flow (the last major eruption was in 1910). However, you are likely to see steam and gases coming from the crater; occasional geyser-like eruptions have reached up to 820 ft. The main crater is easily accessed from a paved path/road which is about ½ mile from the visitors' center. We then return to the city where we'll visit the National Museum, a perfect introduction to the country's culture, biodiversity, archeology, and history all in one place. It includes a butterfly habitat, numerous ancient rock spheres (the "Easter Island heads of Costa Rica"), and colonial weapons, all housed in a fortified colonial building.

We enjoyed great weather for birding, with almost no morning rain throughout the trip, and just a few delightful afternoon and evening showers. Comfortable accommodations, iconic landscapes, abundant, delicious meals, and our charismatic driver Luís enhanced our time in the field. Our group, made up of a mix of first- timers to the tropics and more seasoned tropical birders, got along wonderfully, with some spying their first-ever toucans, motmots, puffbirds, etc. on this trip, and others ticking off regional endemics and hard-to-get species. We were fortunate to have several high-quality mammal sightings, including three monkey species, Derby’s Wooly Opossum, Northern Tamandua, and Tayra.

  • Impact of Tourism Related Development on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica Summary Report
    Impact of Tourism Related Development on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica Summary Report By: Martha Honey Erick Vargas William H. Durham Center for Responsible Travel A Nonprofit Research Organization Stanford University and Washington, DC www.responsibletravel.org April 2010 1 Foreword The following Summary Report, based on two years of research and some two dozen individual studies by a team of Costa Rican and U.S. experts, offers the first multidimensional analysis of the phenomena that Costa Ricans have dubbed “residential tourism.” While this term has become popular, most Costa Ricans have had little understanding of its dimensions and implications for the country, the country’s Pacific coast, or Costa Rica’s tourism industry. The study traces the origins of this coastal transformation from the 1970s to the present, with particular focus on the real estate and construction boom and bust (caused by the global economic crisis) from 2002 through 2009. As members of the Advisory Committee that has assisted the research team, we believe that the study’s findings and recommendations can play a constructive role in helping to foment public discussion, civic engagement, and policy reforms to ensure a sustainable economy in coastal and marine tourism. Over the last decade, Costa Rica’s Pacific coast has become one of the epicenters in the Americas for rapid beach resort and vacation home development closely tied to the U.S. market. Together with cruise ship tourism, residential tourism is transforming swaths of the physical landscape and displacing or competing for resources with many fishing, farming, and ranching communities in the coastal zone.

Permitiendo, de esta manera obtener un mayor acercamiento a la realidad sociocultural en la que se encuentra dicha localidad. Este proceso se considera de suma importancia, ya que un mapeo de esta índole proyecta herramientas de información que pueden resultar de gran utilidad para la gestión, planificación, y desarrollo de futuras acciones afines a temas culturales. Para la elaboración del inventariado cultural de Monteverde se utilizó una metodología similar a la utilizada por el Ministerio de Cultura y Juventud de Costa Rica. Metodología que abarca la importancia de salvaguardar el Patrimonio Cultural de las comunidades, en relación con lo establecido en el Decreto Legislativo N° 8560. Este proceso de inventariado se orientó principalmente en recolectar información de personas trabajadores del arte y la cultura, agrupaciones culturales, organizaciones culturales, y de festividades culturales del distrito Monteverde. Como resultado, se obtuvo un total de 161 actores culturales registrados, lo que equivale aproximadamente a un 2,7 % de la población total del Distrito.
