Silvopastoral systems for offsetting livestock emissions in the tropics a case study of a dairy farm in Costa Rica
(Agonomy fo Sustainable Development, 2022-09-19)
Ways are being sought to reduce the environmental impact of ruminant livestock farming. Integration of trees into farming systems has been advocated as a measure to deliver ecosystem services, inter alia climate regulation ...
Tree diversity in a tropical agricultural-forest mosaic landscape in Honduras
(Scientific Reports, 2022-11-03)
Biodiversity decline in the tropics requires the implementation of comprehensive landscape management where agricultural systems are necessarily an integral element of biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the ...
Intraspecific Functional Variability and Functional Changes Along Environmental Gradients Associated to Mangrove Forest Zonation in West-Central Mexico
(Wetland, 2022)
Functional diversity and the contribution of functional traits in mangrove ecosystems dynamics in western Mexico remain unknown. In this study, we assessed functional variability and intraspecific trait variation in three ...
Estructura y diversidad arbórea en bosques de encino del centro de México
(Madera y Bosques, 2022)
Se caracterizó la estructura y diversidad arbórea de bosques de encino en dos microcuencas del centro de México. Se midieron los diámetros (≥ 5 cm) y alturas de los árboles en parcelas circulares de 1000 m2. La estructura ...
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 ...

Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022)
We assessed 36 cacao plots made up of 15–35 useful timber shade trees with varying spacing 6 × 9, 9 × 9, 8 × 10, and 10 × 12m. Initially, each plot consisted of three shade components plus cacao. Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca) ...

Analiza la experiencia del Programa FAO UE FLEGT en el fortalecimiento de capacidades de MiPyME del sector forestal para la comercialización de productos forestales de origen legal en Honduras, Colombia y Guatemala y extraer ...
Soil resistance and recovery during neotropical forest succession
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2022-01-24)
The recovery of soil conditions is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration and, hence, for achieving the goals of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Here, we assess how soils resist forest conversion and agricultural ...
