Optimal Siting, Sizing, and Enforcement of Marine Protected Areas
(2020)
The design of protected areas, whether marine or terrestrial, rarely considers how people respond to the imposition of no-take sites with complete or incomplete enforcement. Consequently, these protected areas may fail to ...
Authentication of Coffea arabica Varieties through DNA Fingerprinting and its Significance for the Coffee Sector
(2020-01)
Background: Locating the optimal varieties for coffee cultivation is increasingly considered a key condition for sustainable production and marketing. Variety performance varies when it comes to susceptibility to coffee ...
Long-term effects of shade and input levels on coffee yields in the Pacific region of Nicaragua
(CIRAD, Montpellier (France), 2020)
The suitability and profitability of coffee cultivation in Central America are at risk due to pest and disease outbreaks, price fluctuations and climate change. Proper shading is claimed to be one of the most promising ...
Siting Marine Protected Areas with Area Targets Protecting Rural Incomes, Fish Stocks, and Turtles in Costa Rica
(2020-04)
With many countries seeking to increase the area conserved in marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve the Convention on Biodiversity’s protected area targets by 2020, we employ a bioeconomic model to determine which ...
