A review of wildfires effects across the Gran Chaco region
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023-12-01)The main objective of this review paper is to synthesize studies related to fire occurrence, the effects of fire on native vegetation at the Gran Chaco scale, and changes in fire regimes, in order to identify current ... -
A single polyploidization event at the origin of the tetraploid genome of Coffea arabica is responsible for the extremely low genetic variation in wild and cultivated germplasm
(2020)The genome of the allotetraploid species Coffea arabica L. was sequenced to assemble independently the two component subgenomes (putatively deriving from C. canephora and C. eugenioides) and to perform a genome-wide ... -
About identification of features that affect the estimation of citrus harvest
(2023-06-27)Accurate models for early harvest estimation in citrus production generally involve expensive variables. The goal of this research work was to develop a model to provide early and accurate estimations of ... -
Above-ground biomass storage potential in primary rain forests managed for timber production in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-07)Tropical forests play a fundamental role in mitigating climate change through storage of carbon in above- and below- ground biomass. Their mitigation potential is, however, affected by significant greenhouse gas emissions ... -
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 ... -
Accurate Differentiation of Green Beans of Arabica and Robusta Coffee Using Nanofluidic Array of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Markers
(2020)Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. The Arabica (Coffea arabica L.) and Robusta (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) species are the two main types of coffees for ... -
Active and passive chlorophyll fuorescence measurements at canopy level on potato crops. Evidence of similitude of diurnal cycles of apparent fuorescence yields
(Photosynthesis Research, 2022)We performed active and passive measurements of diurnal cycles of chlorophyll fuorescence on potato crops at canopy level in outdoors conditions for 26 days. Active measurements of the stationary fuorescence yield (Fs) ... -
Active in situ and passive airborne fluorescence measurements for water stress detection on a fescue field
(Photosynthesis Research, 2022)LEDFLEX is a micro-lidar dedicated to the measurement of vegetation fluorescence. The light source consists of 4 blue Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) to illuminate part of the canopy in order to average the spatial variability ... -
Agricultural intensification alters bat assemblage composition and abundance in a dynamic Neotropical landscape
(2016)The recent trend of agricultural intensification in tropical landscapes poses a new threat to biodiversity conservation. Conversion of previously heterogeneous agricultural landscapes to intensive plantation agriculture ... -
Agricultural Production of Central America and the Caribbean: Challenges and Opportunities
(2019)En este artículo se abarca la agricultura en Centroamérica y el Caribe (CAC) que ha desempeñado un papel estratégico en el trabajo creación, ingreso rural, exportación promoción y seguridad alimentaria. -
Los agroecosistemas cafetaleros modernos y su relación con la conservación de mariposas en paisajes fragmentados
(2018)Land use change by the intensification of agriculture contributes to tropical forest fragmentation and biodiversity loss. In this sense, in comparison with traditional agroforestry systems (AFS), modern AFS are considered ... -
Agroforestry at work
(2024)This issue contextualizes agroforestry in four introductory articles in terms of economic viability and resilience, gender inclusiveness, interactions with climate change and biodiversity and barriers to adoption. We then ... -
Agroforestry governance for operationalising the landscape approach: connecting conservation and farming actors
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 2020-07)The expansion and intensification of agriculture as well as the associated land clearing are threatening both biodiversity and human wellbeing in tropical areas. Implementing agroforestry systems through a landscape ... -
Agroforestry systems provide firewood for livelihood improvement in Guatemala
(CIRAD, Montpellier (France), 2019)Given the context of climate change and poverty, rural populations are increasingly faced with the challenges of appropriate resource management, adequate food production and improving their quality of life. Guatemala ... -
Agronomic conditions of cacao cultivation: its relationship with the capitals endowment of Colombian rural households
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)Abstract Cacao cultivation has great socioeconomic importance for the development of rural areas of Colombia, especially for the approximately 52,000 rural households that depend on it. Therefore, is important to analyze ... -
Almacenamiento de carbono en sistemas agroforestales en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia
(2021-03)Carbon storage in agroforestry systems in Colombia’s Eastern Plains. Introduction: Coffee, cocoa crops and pastures for livestock are agricultural activities of economic interest in Colombia. When these activities are ... -
Altitude and community traits explain rain forest stand dynamics over a 2370-m altitudinal gradient in Costa Rica
(2021-12)Stand dynamic rates in Earth’s vitally important tropical mountain rain forests are a central component of the response of these forests to global change, but their relationships to environmental gradients are poorly ... -
Altitude and species identity drive leaf litter decomposition rates of ten species on a 2950 m altitudinal gradient in Neotropical rain forests
(2019)Identifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and ...
