Project Synopsis

Pablo Colón Berdecía High School, Barranquitas

During the years of 1986 and 1987, we selected a private area in the Forest "La Torrecilla", located at the barrio Barrancas of Barranquitas, for the development of a long-term study with the help of the International Institute for Tropical Forestry.(...more)

Juan Ponce de Léon High School, Florida

In 1999, a science teacher of the Juan Ponce de Leon High School in Florida-Puerto Rico, Elliot Lopez, and some students, established a research area in a secondary forest localized in the kart zone in the municipality of Florida, with the assistance of the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. This zone has a high diversity of species. (...more)

Francisco Morales High School, Naranjito

In 1999, two science teachers of the Francisco Morales High School of Naranjito, Aurea Berrios and Hilka Nieves, established two research areas (2500 m2 ea), in which the dominant specie is Spathodea campanulata. The research areas are part of a secondary forest localized in the Achiote Ward in a coffe farm abandoned in the 1950's.(...more)

Escuela Superior Aurea E. Quiles, Guánica, Puerto Rico

The purpose of this investigation is to establish a database as part of a long-term ecological research at the dry scrub forest plot in the Guánica State Forest of Puerto Rico. This investigation started in 2009 as part of the Luquillo LTER Schoolyard Program.
