Simulating the shading pattern of tree shade using shade motion 2.0
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2008)
ShadeMotion es un programa de cómputo diseñado para modelar la posición y movimiento de las sombras de árboles sobre el suelo. El usuario puede escoger cualquier distribución espacial de árboles dentro de una parcela ...
ShadeMotion: the analysis of tree shade patterns tutorial
ShadeMotion 5.1.41 is a software application that calculates the number of hours of shade accumulated on each point (grid cell) on a plot due to the presence of trees, in any number, sizes and crown shapes and in any ...
Trees as hotspots: Using forest, trees, and agroforestry to foster diverse sustainable landscapes
(Agricultural Systems, 2022)
Forests, trees, and agroforestry (FTA) are ecosystem hotspots. They exemplify the contributions of biodiversity to sustainable and resilient landscapes, green circular economy and to sustainable agriculture and food systems ...

Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ...
Modeling age and yield dynamics in Coffea arabica pruning systems
(Elsevier, 2022)
The maintenance of rejuvenated, productive plant tissue through regular and frequent pruning is essential to sustain high and stable coffee yields. Different coffee pruning systems have been described by means of well-written ...
