Diversidade da comunidade de plantas invasoras em sistemas agroflorestais com café em Turrialba, Costa Rica
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2008)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the floristic composition of spontaneous species in coffee (Coffea arabica L.) cultivated in full sun and in agroforestry systems, under organic and conventional management.Twenty ...
Making the post-2020 global biodiversity framework a successful tool for building biodiverse, inclusive, resilient and safe food systems for all
(IOP Publishing, Bristol (Reino Unido), 2020-08)
COVID-19 has exposed the vulnerability of our economies to shocks, and it has laid bare deep inequalities in our society that threaten to derail the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments around the world are looking ...
Patterns of shade plant diversity in four agroforestry systems across Central America: a meta‑analysis
(Nature, 2023-05-26)
Agroforestry systems can potentially increase tree diversity within agricultural landscapes, but to date, there is little understanding of the patterns of shade plant diversity within different agroforestry systems (AFS) ...

(2015)
La producción de cacao en la Amazonía ecuatoriana constituye una importante fuente de ingresos para la población local.
Los sistemas de producción de cacao son variados y engloban bosques primarios enriquecidos, sistemas ...
Economic valuation of the ecosystem services provided by the mangroves of the Gulf of Nicoya using a hybrid methodology.
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021)
Due to the public good nature of many of mangrove’s ecosystem services, markets for them do not exist and there is limited potential to manage them with conventional markets. Moreover, because of the difficulties in ...
Species interactions across trophic levels mediate rainfall effects on dryland vegetation dynamics
(2020)
Arid ecosystems are strongly limited by water availability, and precipitation plays a 2 major role in the dynamics of all species in arid regions, as well as the ecosystem processes that 3 occur there. However, understanding ...
The positive association between natural vegetation, native coccinellids and functional diversity of aphidophagous coccinellid communities in alfalfa
(2021-01)
1. A greater taxonomic and functional diversity of natural enemies in agroecosystems is frequently positively associated with more effective pest control, due to the complementarity of species or traits. But this diversity ...
Cacao agroforestry systems improve soil fertility: Comparison of soil properties between forest, cacao agroforestry systems, and pasture in the Colombian Amazon
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-01)
The objective of our work was to evaluate soil quality in different cacao agroforestry systems (AFS) in the Colombian Amazon. We compared soil quality of AFS at the study site with soil quality of two control systems: a ...
FDiversity: a software package for the integrated analysis of functional diversity
(2011-01)
1. The growing interest in functional diversity has been accompanied by a proliferation of indices proposed to calculate its different components; however, empirical studies have been hampered by a lack of integrated tools ...
