Long-term effects of shade and input levels on coffee yields in the Pacific region of Nicaragua
(CIRAD, Montpellier (France), 2020)
The suitability and profitability of coffee cultivation in Central America are at risk due to pest and disease outbreaks, price fluctuations and climate change. Proper shading is claimed to be one of the most promising ...
Siting Marine Protected Areas with Area Targets Protecting Rural Incomes, Fish Stocks, and Turtles in Costa Rica
(2020-04)
With many countries seeking to increase the area conserved in marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve the Convention on Biodiversity’s protected area targets by 2020, we employ a bioeconomic model to determine which ...
Unveiling a unique genetic diversity of cultivated Coffea arabica L. in its main domestication center: Yemen
(2021)
Whilst it is established that almost all cultivated coffee (Coffea arabica L.) varieties originated in Yemen after some coffee seeds were introduced into Yemen from neighboring Ethiopia, the actual coffee genetic diversity ...
Authentication of Coffea arabica Varieties through DNA Fingerprinting and its Significance for the Coffee Sector
(2020-01)
Background: Locating the optimal varieties for coffee cultivation is increasingly considered a key condition for sustainable production and marketing. Variety performance varies when it comes to susceptibility to coffee ...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(2020)
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ...

Coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix) epidemics of an intensity never seen before have hit Central America since 2012.
This study set out to identify management and socio-economic factors that facilitate coffee rust development ...
Cacao agroforestry systems improve soil fertility: Comparison of soil properties between forest, cacao agroforestry systems, and pasture in the Colombian Amazon
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-01)
The objective of our work was to evaluate soil quality in different cacao agroforestry systems (AFS) in the Colombian Amazon. We compared soil quality of AFS at the study site with soil quality of two control systems: a ...
Microsatellite DNA fingerprinting of Coffea sp. germplasm conserved in Costa Rica through singleplex and multiplex PCR
(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2020)
A large collection of coffee genetic resources is conserved in Costa Rica. In this study, microsatellite DNA fingerprinting of coffee through singleplex and multiplex PCR approaches coupled with capillary electrophoresis ...
