Botanical diversity, structure and composition in cocoa agroforest systems in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
(Scientia Agropecuaria, 2023-06-05)
The tree composition in cocoa agroforestry systems (CAFS) in Guatemala is valued for providing a number of ecosystem services. Despite the importance of the trees in these systems, little is known about the tree species ...
Making finance flow to adaptation in small-scale agrifood systems. The role of the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement.
(ODI, 2024-03)
This paper is the second in a pair of reports exploring how climate-resilient development can be supported through the implementation of the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement, Article 2.1(c). As identified in the ...
Tropical forest succession increases taxonomic and functional tree richness but decreases evenness
(Wiley, 2024-06-08)
Successional changes in functional diversity provide insights into community assembly by indicating how species are filtered into local communities based on their traits. Here, we assess successional changes in taxonomic ...

Increasing Biodiversity in Livestock Production Systems: Plant Traits and Natural Regeneration Capacity of Woody Vegetation in Actively Managed Grasslands
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Species’ natural regeneration capacity is an ecological property of plant communities that is key to restoring diversity after disturbances and to conserving the delivery of related ecosystem services within agroecosystems. ...
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 ...
