Species interactions across trophic levels mediate rainfall effects on dryland vegetation dynamics
(2020)
Arid ecosystems are strongly limited by water availability, and precipitation plays a 2 major role in the dynamics of all species in arid regions, as well as the ecosystem processes that 3 occur there. However, understanding ...
Impact of Shrimp Ponds on Mangrove Blue Carbon Stocks in Ecuador
(2021-06)
Mangrove forests play an important role in mitigating climate change but are threatened by aquaculture expansion. The inclusion of mangroves in climate change mitigation strategies requires measuring of carbon stocks and ...

(2020)
[Introducción]: En el Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) se está buscando optimizar
la técnica hortícola de enraizamiento de mini-estaquillas de café para la multiplicación comercial de ...
Shade tree Chloroleucon eurycyclum promotes coffee leaf rust by reducing uredospore wash-off by rain
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2020)
addition, may interact with environment. To better understand shade trees effects on coffee leaf rust (CLR), we
studied three disease stages separately: sporulation, uredospore wash-off by rain, and uredospore deposition ...
The positive association between natural vegetation, native coccinellids and functional diversity of aphidophagous coccinellid communities in alfalfa
(2021-01)
1. A greater taxonomic and functional diversity of natural enemies in agroecosystems is frequently positively associated with more effective pest control, due to the complementarity of species or traits. But this diversity ...
Measured ammonia emissions from tropical and subtropical pastures: A comparison with 2006 IPCC, 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC, and EMEP/EEA (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme and European Environmental Agency) inventory estimates
(American Dairy Science Association, Champaign, IL, EUA ; Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020)
Agriculture is the largest source of ammonia (NH3) emissions. As NH3 is an indirect greenhouse gas, NH3 measurements are crucial to improving greenhouse gas emission inventory estimates. Moreover, NH3 emissions have wider ...
Unraveling the Complexity of Coffee Leaf Rust Behavior and Development in Different Coffea arabica Agroecosystems
(2020)
Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, ...
Tracer hydrology of the data-scarce and heterogeneous Central American Isthmus
(2020)
Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water ...
Determinants of food insecurity among smallholder farmer households in Central America: recurrent versus extreme weather-driven events.
(2020)
To ensure food security among rural communities under a changing climate, policymakers need information on the prevalence and determinants of food insecurity, the role of extreme weather events in exacerbating food insecurity, ...
The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey, data from 13,310 farm households in 21 countries
(2020-02)
The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) is a standardized farm household survey
approach which collects information on 758 variables covering household demographics, farm area,
crops grown and their ...
