Milk production systems in Latin America and the Caribbean: Biophysical, socio-economic, and environmental performance.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2024)
The Latin America-Caribbean (LAC) region has the potential to pursue a sustainable expansion of
livestock production and capitalise on the growing global demand for dairy and beef products. However, it is
This study ...
Cadmium concentration in cocoa beans produced in agroforestry systems of small producers in Panama
(CSIC, 2024-01-30)
Aim of study: To calculate Cd concentration in cocoa plants and evaluate its relationship with available Cd and other soil properties. Area of study: Almirante, Bocas del Toro province, Panama, in 2020-2021. Material and ...
Diversity and productive potential of timber trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
(Revista de la Facultad de Agronomía de la Universidad del Zulia, 2024-02-27)
Timber production in agroforestry systems can improve environmental and economic sustainability, especially for families living in rural areas. Despite its importance in Guatemala, little is known about ...
A combination of conserved and diverged responses underlies Theobroma cacao’s defense response to Phytophthora palmivora
(BMC Biology, 2024)
Plants have complex and dynamic immune systems that have evolved to resist pathogens. Humans have worked to enhance these defenses in crops through breeding. However, many crops harbor only a fraction of the genetic diversity ...
Tropical forest succession increases taxonomic and functional tree richness but decreases evenness
(Wiley, 2024-06-08)
Successional changes in functional diversity provide insights into community assembly by indicating how species are filtered into local communities based on their traits. Here, we assess successional changes in taxonomic ...
Tree demographic strategies largely overlap across succession in Neotropical wet and dry forest communities
(2024-05-19)
Secondary tropical forests play an increasingly important role in carbon budgets and biodiversity conservation. Understanding successional trajectories is therefore imperative for guiding forest restoration and climate ...
Quantifying movement of the coffee berry borer at the interface between coffee plantations and adjacent land uses
(Frontiers, 2024-04-03)
In this study, our objective was to provide evidence of the movement of the coffee berry borer (CBB), the most important pest in coffee cultivation, from neighboring coffee plantations to adjacent land uses at different ...
Haitian coffee agroforestry systems harbor complex arabica variety mixtures and under recognized genetic diversity
(University of Jeddah, 2024-04-16)
Though facing significant challenges, coffee (Coffea arabica) grown in Haitian agroforestry systems are important contributors to rural livelihoods and provide several ecosystem services. However, little is known about ...
Making Global Climate Action work for nature and people: Priorities for Race to Zero and Race to Resilience
(Science Direct, 2024-09)
There is increasing recognition in science and policy that the current nature and climate change crises are highly intertwined, and that these need to be jointly addressed. Within the United Nations Framework Convention ...
