Leaf functional traits and pathogens Linking coffee leaf rust with intraspecific trait variation in diversified agroecosystems
(PLOS, 2023-04-13)
Research has demonstrated that intraspecific functional trait variation underpins plant responses to environmental variability. However, few studies have evaluated how trait variation shifts in response to plant pathogens, ...
Síntesis de resultados: la cadena productiva de leche bovina en el estado de Chiapas, México
(2023)
La cadena de leche bovina en el estado de Chiapas corresponde a una cadena productiva y no una de valor, dadas sus características, lo cual es necesario considerar para que las acciones a implementar puedan maximizar los ...
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) ...
A just transition for antimicrobial resistance: planning for an equitable and sustainable future with antimicrobial resistance
(The Lancet, 2023-09-08)
It discusses the urgent need to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and provides insights on how to reduce its impact in the future. It highlights the consequences of clinically ineffective ...
Assessing Potential Effects of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) on Water Ecosystem Service in the Interurban Micro-Watershed Río Torres, Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2023-05-03)
The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) generates positive effects on the water ecosystem service in an urban context. Practices such as bioretention cells, green roofs, rain gardens, ...

(CATIE - Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza, 2023)
El manual pone a disposición de los facilitadores de las escuelas de campo presentes en la Amazonía ecuatoriana, material técnico de apoyo que permitiera fortalecer sus capacidades técnicas para facilitar en temas ganaderos ...
An Improved Framework for Estimating Organic Carbon Content of Mangrove Soils Using loss-on-ignition and Coastal Environmental Setting
(Springer, 2023-06-22)
The use of loss on ignition (LOI) measurements of soil organic matter (SOM) to estimate soil organic carbon (OC) content is a decades-old practice. While there are limitations and uncertainties to this approach, it continues ...
Diverse farmer livelihoods increase resilience to climate variability in southern Colombia
(Elsevier, 2023)
Climate variability affects agricultural production systems and rural communities, generating risks to food security and increasing rural poverty. Therefore, improving the capacity of rural households to adapt to climate ...
Enteric Methane Emissions in Dairy Cows with Different Genetic Groups in the Humid Tropics of Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2023)
Enteric methane (CH4) is one of the main greenhouse gases emitted in livestock production systems with ruminants. Among the options to reduce such emissions, animal genetics is one of the factors that is taking relevance ...
Total litterfall and leaf‑litter decomposition of Theobroma grandiflorum under different agroforestry systems in the western Colombian Amazon
(Springer, 2023)
The objective of this study was to quantify the amount of litter accumulated on the soil and the rate of decomposition in multistrata successional agroforestry systems with Theobroma grandiflorum as mainly crop, compared ...
