Influence of Fermentation Time on the Chemical and Functional Composition of Different Cocoa Clones from Southern Colombia
(MDPI, 2023-11-16)Cocoa bean quality depends mainly on genetic material, edaphoclimatic factors and postharvest processes such as fermentation. The impact of the fermentation process on the chemical and functional composition of different ... -
Influence of scattered trees in grazing areas on soil properties in the Piedmont region of the Colombian Amazon
(2022-01)Trees dispersed in grazing areas are contribute to the sustainability of livestock systems. The interactions between trees and soil are ecological processes that allow the modification of the biology, fertility, and physics ... -
Influence of topographic and edaphic factors on vulnerability to soil degradation due to cattle grazing in humid tropical mountains in northern Honduras
(2015-01-22)Low altitude humid tropical mountains in Central America have experienced a process of livestock expansion during recent decades. However, the use of sloping areas for cattle grazingmay lead to significant soil degradation and ... -
Información hidrológica, primer paso para diseñar una política local de pago por servicios ambientales
(2015)Los recursos hidrológicos tienen significativa importancia en países con problemas de escasez de agua, parte de los cuales se atribuyen a la inexistencia de una relación entre los proveedores de servicios ambientales y de ... -
Interactions between climate, shade canopy characteristics and cocoa production in Colombia
(Frontiers, 2024-02-09)Properly designed agroforestry systems (AFS) can generate optimal cocoa bean (BC) yields, produce co-products and provide ecosystem services. This study analyzes the interactions between climate, AFS structure and BC yield ... -
Intraspecific Functional Variability and Functional Changes Along Environmental Gradients Associated to Mangrove Forest Zonation in West-Central Mexico
(Wetland, 2022)Functional diversity and the contribution of functional traits in mangrove ecosystems dynamics in western Mexico remain unknown. In this study, we assessed functional variability and intraspecific trait variation in three ... -
Intraspecific variation in biocontrol traits in Mastrus ridens (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) laboratory populations
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021-05)Breeding natural enemies to generate populations with improved characteristics is an attractive idea, particularly nowadays with the increase in use of biological control and the availability of modern molecular and genetic ... -
Land-use change influence ecosystem services in an agricultural landscape in Central America
(2022-01)Ecosystems provide a variety of services that are important for human well-being. The estimation of different ecosystem services is necessary to support decision-making processes at different levels in the landscapes. The ... -
Leadership for moving the climate change adaptation agenda from planning to action
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2017)An increasing number of initiatives for adaptation to climate change are occurring at multiple scales and decision focuses (e.g., impact assessment, policy design, technology development, planning management and implementation ... -
Leaf functional traits and pathogens Linking coffee leaf rust with intraspecific trait variation in diversified agroecosystems
(PLOS, 2023-04-13)Research has demonstrated that intraspecific functional trait variation underpins plant responses to environmental variability. However, few studies have evaluated how trait variation shifts in response to plant pathogens, ... -
Leaf functional traits vary within and across tree species in tropical cloud forest on rock outcrop versus volcanic soil
(2019)Functional leaf traits are used to classify plants into ecological strategies according to the leaf economic spectrum. Geological substrate has an important effect on functional trait variation, however, interspecific and ... -
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 ... -
Long-term response of groundcover components to organic and conventional weed control in shaded and open-sun coffee in Nicaragua
(Crop protection, 2020)The weed-free period is employed to evaluate the effectiveness of practices to reduce crop loss to weeds. To orient sustainable cropping system approaches in perennial crops such as coffee which are often grown with trees, ... -
Making finance flow to adaptation in small-scale agrifood systems. The role of the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement.
(ODI, 2024-03)This paper is the second in a pair of reports exploring how climate-resilient development can be supported through the implementation of the third long-term goal of the Paris Agreement, Article 2.1(c). As identified in the ... -
Making the post-2020 global biodiversity framework a successful tool for building biodiverse, inclusive, resilient and safe food systems for all
(IOP Publishing, Bristol (Reino Unido), 2020-08)COVID-19 has exposed the vulnerability of our economies to shocks, and it has laid bare deep inequalities in our society that threaten to derail the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments around the world are looking ... -
Marginal Abatement Cost Curves for Latin American dairy production: A Costa Rica case study
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-05)This study utilises data collected from Costa Rican dairy farmers to conduct a cradle to farm gate Life Cycle Assessment and the first Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) for dairy production in Latin America. Ninety dairy ... -
Measured ammonia emissions from tropical and subtropical pastures: A comparison with 2006 IPCC, 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC, and EMEP/EEA (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme and European Environmental Agency) inventory estimates
(American Dairy Science Association, Champaign, IL, EUA ; Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020)Agriculture is the largest source of ammonia (NH3) emissions. As NH3 is an indirect greenhouse gas, NH3 measurements are crucial to improving greenhouse gas emission inventory estimates. Moreover, NH3 emissions have wider ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
