Functional traits and performance of woody species on oil- affected soils of the Ecuadorian Amazon
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2023-10)
Tropical forests cover 10 % of the terrestrial surface and account for 50 % of worldwide tree diversity (Mayaux et al., 2005). More than half of tropical forest areas are composed of tropical rainforests, which are ...
Multi-sensor airborne lidar requires intercalibration for consistent estimation of light attenuation and plant area density
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Leaf area is a key structural characteristic of forest canopies because of the role of leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes occurring at the biosphere-atmosphere transition. High pulse density ...
Structure, diversity and the conservation value of tropical dry forests in highly fragmented landscapes
(Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022-03-09)
Although tropical dry forests are among the most degraded and fragmented biomes in the world, we still have a poor understanding of their basic ecological features and conservation status, particularly in the Neotropics. ...
Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ...
Sistemas silvopastoriles como prácticas recomendadas para desarrollar medidas de mitigación nacionalmente apropiadas en el marco de las contribuciones nacionalmente determinadas en el sector ganadero de Mesoamérica
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2021)
Reconoce la problemática de las emisiones del ganado bovino, porcino y pequeños rumiantes, lo cual requiere de diferentes estrategias de mitigación de GEI, y se plantean promover el cambio de una ganadería convencional a ...
Recomendaciones para la promoción de sinergias entre producción de ganadería sustentable, conservación de la biodiversidad y generación de servicios ecosistémicos dentro de los diseños de políticas públicas
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022-12)
La toma de decisión es un proceso que permite insertar temas de interés con el fin de dirigir esfuerzos en dicha línea. En los últimos años, dentro de las iniciativas en materia de acción climática se han llevado a cabo ...
Economic implications of citrus greening disease management strategies
(2022)
Citrus greening (HLB) is an incurable bacterial disease severely affecting most citrus production regions. Evaluating the economic feasibility of control practices is challenging due to the complex intertemporal interactions ...
Trees as hotspots: Using forest, trees, and agroforestry to foster diverse sustainable landscapes
(Agricultural Systems, 2022)
Forests, trees, and agroforestry (FTA) are ecosystem hotspots. They exemplify the contributions of biodiversity to sustainable and resilient landscapes, green circular economy and to sustainable agriculture and food systems ...
Ecosystem services from coffee agroforestry in Central America: estimation using the CAF2021 model
(Springer Nature, 2022)
The goal of sustainable coffee production requires multiple functions from agroforestry systems. Many are difficult to quantify and data are lacking, hampering the choice of shade tree species and agronomic management. ...
Somatic embryogenesis of Arabica coffee in temporary immersion culture: Advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation of selected genotypes
(Plant Science, 2022-10)
Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semiautomation of high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent exposure of explants to liquid medium in cycles ...
