Conservation and use of genetic resources of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) by gene banks and nurseries in six Latin American countries
(2021)
Cacao (Theobromacacao L.) is among the most important cash crops in tropical countries. The existing cacao genetic diversity represents a key resource to ensure the long-term sustainability of cacao cultivation but it ...
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) ...
Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ...
