Natural resource conservation with peoples' participation in the uplands of the Maribios Volcanic Ranges of Nicaragua. II. Adaptation of conservation technology to farmers
(Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA), San José (Costa Rica), 1993-07)
Con el método del reconocimiento rápido de áreas rurales, se estudiaron las prácticas agrícolas tradicionales en la cuenca alta de los Maribios en Nicaragua, para adaptar técnicas conocidas de manejo y uso de la tierra ...
Baseline soil characteristics of a humid tropical silvopastoral system and changes in selected soil properties
(IICA, San José (Costa Rica), 1993-01)
We established fast-growing leguminous trees (Erythrina berteroana Urban) in native grass pastures in Costa Rica's Atlantic region to determine the effects of tree pruning and cattle grazing on soil phosphorus availability ...
Shade effects on moisture relations of agroforestry systems
(1999)
Although competition of shade trees for water with shaded crops has been a major argument in favor of the removal of shade trees in agroforestry systems, experimental results do not always confirm that shade trees increase ...
Proposal for the selection, establishment, and maintenance of agroforestry research/demonstration plots in Fiji
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica) GTZ, Eschborn (Alemania), 1988-09)
The present consultancy is a logical follow up to the previous work, and it was not considered necessary to again justify AF in general terMON. The potential of AF techniques to alleviate probleMON such as erosion, economic ...

Control of lateral root extension of fast-growing timber species using grasses as biological barriers
(1999)
Se investigó el potencial de cinco especies de gramíneas como barreras biológicas para reducir la competencia radicular en asociaciones agroforestales con árboles maderables de crecimiento rápido como Eucalyptus deglupta ...
Effects of trees on infiltrability and preferential flow in two contrasting agroecosystems in Central America
(2014)
We tested the hypothesis that trees have measurable effects on infiltrability, macroporosity, and pref-erential flows in agrosilvopastoral systems. Managing agricultural systems for water conservation is acritical component ...
