Project Description:

During the years of 1986 and 1987, we selected a private area in the Forest “La Torrecilla”, located in the Barrio Barrancas in the Municipality of Barranquitas, for the development of a long-term study with the help of the International Institute for Tropical Forestry. Our study area is at 3,093 feet above sea level and it has been classified as a secondary forest because was used for agriculture since the XIX Century until 1940, to cultivate coffee. In our forest, our main water source originates from the Manatí River.
