Nutritional quality of Piptocoma discolor and Cratylia argentea as a non-timber forest products for animal feed in the Caquetá province
(Firenze University Press, 2022)
The present work determined the nutritional quality of Piptocoma discolor and Cratylia argentea as non-timber forest products used in animal feed in the Amazonian foothills in Caquetá province - Colombia, where the grasses ...
Influence of scattered trees in grazing areas on soil properties in the Piedmont region of the Colombian Amazon
(2022-01)
Trees dispersed in grazing areas are contribute to the sustainability of livestock systems. The interactions between trees and soil are ecological processes that allow the modification of the biology, fertility, and physics ...
Contribution of livelihoods to the well-being of coffee-growing households in southern Colombia: a structural equation modeling approach
(2022)
Coffee cultivation is one of the main agricultural activities in Colombia, which increases the well-being of coffee-growing families. In order to determine the impact of coffee production, the capital endowment and well-being ...
Rank-based data synthesis of common bean on-farm trials across four Central American countries
(Crop Breeding & Genetics, 2022)
Location-specific information is required to support decision making in crop variety
management, especially under increasingly challenging climate conditions. Data
synthesis can aggregate data from individual trials to ...
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 ...
The existence value of the Antillean manatee in the unprotected Hondo River (Mexico) as a fundamental component for its conservation
(Journal for Nature Conservation, 2022)
The Hondo River is the natural border between Mexico and Belize, and it is part of the distribution area of the Endangered Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus. Currently, the Hondo River does not have any special ...
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 ...
Land-use change influence ecosystem services in an agricultural landscape in Central America
(2022-01)
Ecosystems provide a variety of services that are important for human well-being. The estimation of different ecosystem services is necessary to support decision-making processes at different levels in the landscapes. The ...
Somatic embryogenesis of Arabica coffee in temporary immersion culture: Advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation of selected genotypes
(Plant Science, 2022-10)
Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semiautomation of high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent exposure of explants to liquid medium in cycles ...
Silvopastoral systems and remnant forests enhance carbon storage in livestock‑dominated landscapes in Mexico
(Scientific Reports, 2022)
A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural and regulating, that include carbon ...
