Seasonal wetlands in the tropics are important habitats for local and migratory bird species. In northwestern Pacific of Costa Rica, Palo Verde National Park has one most seasonal Central America. The management history this wetland shown impact invasive plant species such as Parkinsonia aculeata L. whose cover extension canopy structure not only ecological niches species, but also hydrology.

Interception of rainfall by forest canopies and its evaporation back to the atmosphere is an important component hydrological balance. We quantify influence six mature forests at two coastal one southern interior locations in British Columbia on interception loss. Drainage from canopy was measured with throughfall troughs stemflow collars that emptied into tipping buckets monitored data loggers...
