摘要: The Mesoamerican region is blessed with tremendous biological richness, a high level of species endemism, and diverse cultural heritage. Yet in 2000, only 30 percent the region’s forest cover remained. Overall, 37.4 land area Mesoamerica used for agriculture (CCAD 2002); much this concentrated more seasonal areas previously occupied by seasonally dry tropical (SDTF). Pasture predominant agricultural use Central America, constituting 61.1 all 2000 (FAO 2005). Rice, sugarcane, maize, beans constitute other major products grown zones (Donald 2004; Harvey, Alpizar et al.
