Simulating the shading pattern of tree shade using shade motion 2.0
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2008)
ShadeMotion es un programa de cómputo diseñado para modelar la posición y movimiento de las sombras de árboles sobre el suelo. El usuario puede escoger cualquier distribución espacial de árboles dentro de una parcela ...
ShadeMotion: the analysis of tree shade patterns tutorial
ShadeMotion 5.1.41 is a software application that calculates the number of hours of shade accumulated on each point (grid cell) on a plot due to the presence of trees, in any number, sizes and crown shapes and in any ...
Trees on Farms to Improve Livelihoods and the Environment
(Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research, Bogor Barat (Indonesia) (CGIAR), 2021)
This publication shows how the advances of the joint work of FTA and the Trees on Farms for Biodiversity project in Nicaragua and Honduras were used to: 1) increase the visibility of trees on living fences of cattle ranches ...
Trees as hotspots: Using forest, trees, and agroforestry to foster diverse sustainable landscapes
(Agricultural Systems, 2022)
Forests, trees, and agroforestry (FTA) are ecosystem hotspots. They exemplify the contributions of biodiversity to sustainable and resilient landscapes, green circular economy and to sustainable agriculture and food systems ...
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 ...

ShadeMotion 5.1.41 is a software application that calculates the number of hours of shade accumulated on each point (grid cell) on a plot due to the presence of trees, in any number, sizes and crown shapes and in any ...
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 ...
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 ...
Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)
An estimated 3.4 million hectares of cocoa and 9.7 million hectares of coffee are cultivated, globally, under shade trees, i.e. in agroforestry systems. Shade canopies are characterized in terms of tree density (N, trees ...
