Species interactions across trophic levels mediate rainfall effects on dryland vegetation dynamics
(2020)
Arid ecosystems are strongly limited by water availability, and precipitation plays a 2 major role in the dynamics of all species in arid regions, as well as the ecosystem processes that 3 occur there. However, understanding ...
Biomass of timber species in Central American secondary forests: Towards climate change mitigation through sustainable timber harvesting
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-06)
Sustainable management of secondary forests for timber production offers the opportunity to combine nature-based climate change mitigation with direct improvement of human livelihoods in the tropics, but this dual potential ...
Impact of Shrimp Ponds on Mangrove Blue Carbon Stocks in Ecuador
(2021-06)
Mangrove forests play an important role in mitigating climate change but are threatened by aquaculture expansion. The inclusion of mangroves in climate change mitigation strategies requires measuring of carbon stocks and ...
An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-06-14)
Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ...

(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)
Abstract Cacao cultivation has great socioeconomic importance for the development of rural areas of Colombia, especially for the approximately 52,000 rural households that depend on it. Therefore, is important to analyze ...
Influence of scattered trees in grazing areas on soil properties in the Piedmont region of the Colombian Amazon
(2022-01)
Trees dispersed in grazing areas are contribute to the sustainability of livestock systems. The interactions between trees and soil are ecological processes that allow the modification of the biology, fertility, and physics ...
Efecto del riego y la fertilización sobre la calidad de plántulas forestales con potencial uso para restauración del bosque tropical seco
(2021)
La calidad de plántulas es un factor clave que influye en el crecimiento y sobrevivencia luego del trasplante, pero pocos estudios han evaluado el efecto de las prácticas culturales sobre la calidad de especies latifoliadas ...
Contribution of livelihoods to the well-being of coffee-growing households in southern Colombia: a structural equation modeling approach
(2022)
Coffee cultivation is one of the main agricultural activities in Colombia, which increases the well-being of coffee-growing families. In order to determine the impact of coffee production, the capital endowment and well-being ...
Non-destructive estimation of the leaf weight and leaf area in common bean
(MDPI, 2022)
Regression models to predict leaf area and leaf weight in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were fitted using the three leaflets of the leaves. A total of 1504 leaves from 40 genotypes were collected, covering a large range ...
