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. ...
Silvopastoral systems and remnant forests enhance carbon storage in livestock‑dominated landscapes in Mexico
(Scientific Reports, 2022)
A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural and regulating, that include carbon ...
Percepción de Productores ganaderos sobre la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos en la actividad ganadera, Esparza, Costa Rica
(Revista Forestal Mesoamericana Kurú, 2022)
En Esparza, Costa Rica, se evaluó la percepción de los productores ganaderos, sobre la importancia de los servicios ecosistémicos en el quehacer de la actividad pecuaria. Se realizaron 30 entrevistas semiestructuradas y ...
Active in situ and passive airborne fluorescence measurements for water stress detection on a fescue field
(Photosynthesis Research, 2022)
LEDFLEX is a micro-lidar dedicated to the measurement of vegetation fluorescence. The light source consists of 4 blue Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) to illuminate part of the canopy in order to average the spatial variability ...
Impact of agro-forestry systems on the aroma generation of coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2022)
A long experiment has been established since 2000 at CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center), Turrialba, Costa Rica. Twenty agro-forestry systems with different shade types and managements (organic ...
Hydrological Response of Tropical Catchments to Climate Change as Modeled by the GR2M Model: A Case Study in Costa Rica
(Sustainability, 2022-12)
This study aimed to assess the impacts of climate change on streamflow characteristics of five tropical catchments located in Costa Rica. An ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs), namely HadGEM2-ES, CanESM2, ...
Active and passive chlorophyll fuorescence measurements at canopy level on potato crops. Evidence of similitude of diurnal cycles of apparent fuorescence yields
(Photosynthesis Research, 2022)
We performed active and passive measurements of diurnal cycles of chlorophyll fuorescence on potato crops at canopy level in outdoors conditions for 26 days. Active measurements of the stationary fuorescence yield (Fs) ...
Water Saving Using Thermal Imagery-Based Thresholds for Timing Irrigation in Potatoes under Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems
(Agronomy, 2022)
Under the current water crisis in agriculture, irrigation methods for saving and conserving water are necessary. However, these methods must guarantee an appropriate yield with a concomitant economic benefit and a reduced ...
