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 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 ...
Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022)
We assessed 36 cacao plots made up of 15–35 useful timber shade trees with varying spacing 6 × 9, 9 × 9, 8 × 10, and 10 × 12m. Initially, each plot consisted of three shade components plus cacao. Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca) ...

(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
Elabora un análisis de riesgo climático en el municipio de San Miguel Chicaj, departamento de Baja Verapaz, Guatemala, utilizando datos de climatología actual, dos escenarios de RCP (2.6 y 8.5) y dos ventanas promedio de ...
ShadeMotion: tree shade patterns in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems
(Springer, 2022-10-25)
Shade trees in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems provide valuable livelihoods and other ecosystem services. Unfortunately, most shade canopies are sub-optimally designed and managed and the reasons behind this ...
Tree diversity in a tropical agricultural-forest mosaic landscape in Honduras
(Scientific Reports, 2022-11-03)
Biodiversity decline in the tropics requires the implementation of comprehensive landscape management where agricultural systems are necessarily an integral element of biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the ...
Análisis de experiencias de procesos de fortalecimiento de capacidades a micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas del sector forestal privado en el fomento del comercio legal de productores maderables en Honduras, Colombia y Guatemala
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
Analiza la experiencia del Programa FAO UE FLEGT en el fortalecimiento de capacidades de MiPyME del sector forestal para la comercialización de productos forestales de origen legal en Honduras, Colombia y Guatemala y extraer ...
Soil resistance and recovery during neotropical forest succession
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2022-01-24)
The recovery of soil conditions is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration and, hence, for achieving the goals of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Here, we assess how soils resist forest conversion and agricultural ...
Intraspecific Functional Variability and Functional Changes Along Environmental Gradients Associated to Mangrove Forest Zonation in West-Central Mexico
(Wetland, 2022)
Functional diversity and the contribution of functional traits in mangrove ecosystems dynamics in western Mexico remain unknown. In this study, we assessed functional variability and intraspecific trait variation in three ...
Estructura y diversidad arbórea en bosques de encino del centro de México
(Madera y Bosques, 2022)
Se caracterizó la estructura y diversidad arbórea de bosques de encino en dos microcuencas del centro de México. Se midieron los diámetros (≥ 5 cm) y alturas de los árboles en parcelas circulares de 1000 m2. La estructura ...
