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 ...
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 ...
Especies forrajeras para una ganadería sustentable en el Estado de Campeche, México
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
En este folleto se presentan fichas descriptivas de 14 especies forrajeras, como una muestra de la gran variedad de especies con alto potencial forrajero, en el estado de Campeche. El documento fue elaborado por el Grupo ...
The global spectrum of plant form and function enhanced species-level trait dataset
(Scientific Data, 2022)
Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per ...
SNP markers found in non‑coding regions can distinguish among low‑variant genotypes of Arabica and other coffee species
(Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2022)
Development of efficient and scalable methods for molecular identification of Coffea spp. are necessary to accelerate studies related to the characterization of germplasm for both conservation or breeding purposes, and the ...
The global biodiversity framework needs a robust action agenda
(Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022)
A combination of conserved and diverged responses underlies Theobroma cacao’s defense response to Phytophthora palmivora
(BMC Biology, 2024)
Plants have complex and dynamic immune systems that have evolved to resist pathogens. Humans have worked to enhance these defenses in crops through breeding. However, many crops harbor only a fraction of the genetic diversity ...
