Tracer hydrology of the data-scarce and heterogeneous Central American Isthmus
(2020)
Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water ...
Agroforestry governance for operationalising the landscape approach: connecting conservation and farming actors
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 2020-07)
The expansion and intensification of agriculture as well as the associated land clearing are threatening both biodiversity and
human wellbeing in tropical areas. Implementing agroforestry systems through a landscape ...
Policy Note: Policy Responses to Ensure Access to Water and Sanitation Services During COVID-19: Snapshots from the Environment for Development (EfD) Network
(2020)
This policy note provides a snapshot of water and sanitation measures implemented by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 14 countries in the Global South: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, ...
CGIAR modeling approaches for resource-constrained scenarios: I. Accelerating crop breeding for a changing climate
(American Society of Agronomy, 2020)
Crop improvement efforts aiming at increasing crop production (quantity, quality) and adapting to climate change have been subject of active research over the past years. But, the question remains ‘to what extent can ...
Accurate Differentiation of Green Beans of Arabica and Robusta Coffee Using Nanofluidic Array of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Markers
(2020)
Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. The Arabica (Coffea arabica L.) and
Robusta (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) species are the two main types of coffees for ...
Economic constraints as drivers of coffee rust epidemics in Nicaragua
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020-10)
Coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix) epidemics of an intensity never seen before have hit Central America since 2012. This study set out to identify management and socio-economic factors that facilitate coffee rust development ...
Agronomic conditions of cacao cultivation: its relationship with the capitals endowment of Colombian rural households
(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 ...
Assessing the accuracy and robustness of a process-based model for coffee agroforestry systems in Central America
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)
Coffee is often grown in production systems associated with shade trees that provide different ecosystem services. Management, weather and soil conditions are spatially variable production factors. CAF2007 is a dynamic ...
Applying conservation social science to study the human dimensions of Neotropical bird conservation
(2020)
As the global human population increases, and many bird populations in the Neotropics and the rest of the world continue to decline, the study of the intersection of humans, birds, and conservation has become more relevant ...
A single polyploidization event at the origin of the tetraploid genome of Coffea arabica is responsible for the extremely low genetic variation in wild and cultivated germplasm
(2020)
The genome of the allotetraploid species Coffea arabica L. was sequenced to assemble independently
the two component subgenomes (putatively deriving from C. canephora and C. eugenioides) and
to perform a genome-wide ...
