Multi-objective forest restoration planning in Costa Rica : Balancing landscape connectivity and ecosystem service provisioning with sustainable development
(Elseiver, 2022-02-09)
It uses a spatial planning tool (Marxan) to identify priority areas for restoration meeting multiple objectives throughout a biological corridor in Costa Rica. A restoration plan is presented which seeks to maximize the ...
No evidence of foliar disease impact on crop root functional strategies and soil microbial communities : what does this mean for organic coffee?
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2022-01-21)
The main objective of this study is to unravel the dynamic effects of pathogens and amendments on the functional root characteristics and communities of root endophytic fungi. As model, used Coffea arabica (coffee) variety ...
Recuperación de la biodiversidad en bosques neotropicales primarios y perturbados de Costa Rica
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
La investigación contribuye a la necesidad de conocimiento sobre las trayectorias de recuperación de la biodiversidad y su variabilidad en bosques perturbados (específicamente aprovechados y secundarios). El estudio evalua ...
Assessing the joint effects of landscape, farm features and crop management practices on berry damage in coffee plantations
(Elsevier, 2022-02-09)
Evaluates the joint effects of crop management on plot level, farm characteristics, and landscape structure at different spatial scales on CBB infestation in 50 Costa Rican coffee farms. In five plants of each farm, the ...
Metodología para la clasificación automática de los árboles en fincas (TonF) y su aplicación en el análisis de la biodiversidad en un paisaje productivo de Olancho, Honduras
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
El proyecto Trees on Farms ejecutado por el CATIE, identificó la necesidad de crear una herramienta conceptual y operativa que permita la clasificación automática de la cobertura arbórea en paisajes productivos, dándose ...
Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatal regulation of transpiration and more efficient water use across dryland trees
(New Phytologist Foundation, 2022-05)
The least-cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are mutually substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the Sahel has to cope with the dual challenge imposed ...
Active and passive chlorophyll fuorescence measurements at canopy level on potato crops. Evidence of similitude of diurnal cycles of apparent fuorescence yields
(Photosynthesis Research, 2022)
We performed active and passive measurements of diurnal cycles of chlorophyll fuorescence on potato crops at canopy level in outdoors conditions for 26 days. Active measurements of the stationary fuorescence yield (Fs) ...
Structure, diversity and the conservation value of tropical dry forests in highly fragmented landscapes
(Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022-03-09)
Although tropical dry forests are among the most degraded and fragmented biomes in the world, we still have a poor understanding of their basic ecological features and conservation status, particularly in the Neotropics. ...
Water Saving Using Thermal Imagery-Based Thresholds for Timing Irrigation in Potatoes under Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems
(Agronomy, 2022)
Under the current water crisis in agriculture, irrigation methods for saving and conserving water are necessary. However, these methods must guarantee an appropriate yield with a concomitant economic benefit and a reduced ...
Recomendaciones para la promoción de sinergias entre producción de ganadería sustentable, conservación de la biodiversidad y generación de servicios ecosistémicos dentro de los diseños de políticas públicas
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022-12)
La toma de decisión es un proceso que permite insertar temas de interés con el fin de dirigir esfuerzos en dicha línea. En los últimos años, dentro de las iniciativas en materia de acción climática se han llevado a cabo ...
