Genotype–environment interactions shape leaf functional traits of cacao in agroforests
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021)The outbreak of frosty (Moniliophthora roreri) and black pod (Phytophthora palmivora) in Central American cacao agroforests throughout the 1980s led to the breeding of Theobroma cacao clones resistant to these diseases. ... -
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(2020)Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ... -
Good data are not enough: Understanding limited information use for climate risk and food security management in Guatemala.
(2020)Climate extremes are one of the main drivers of acute food insecurity. In Guatemala, acute food insecurity reaches alarming levels when the usual dry period during the bimodal rainy seasons is extended or starts earlier ... -
Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatal regulation of transpiration and more efficient water use across dryland trees
(New Phytologist Foundation, 2022-05)The least-cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are mutually substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the Sahel has to cope with the dual challenge imposed ... -
How Close Are We to Self-Provisioning? A Look at the Livelihood Strategies of Rural Households in the Southern Andean Region of Colombia
(MDPI, 2022-02-22)Analyze the impact of livelihood strategies on self-sufficiency conditions in 162 rural households in the department of Huila, Colombia. Discuss: A. food source; B. composition of home gardens; C. push and pull factors ... -
How Ecological Characteristics of Seasonal Migratory Species Influence Conservation Threats and Policy Needs
(University of Chicago Press Journals, 2023-03-08)This article argues that effectively protecting migratory behavior and migratory species throughout their annual or life cycle habitats requires conservation policies that simultaneously consider the ecological, socioeconomic, ... -
Human pressure on water quality and water yield in the upper Grijalva river basin in the Mexico-Guatemala border
(ELSEVIER, 2016)Forest ecosystems are major providers of high quality water and contribute to maintain a better distribution of base flows during the year. However, these environmental services have been adversely affected by human pressure ... -
Hydrological Response of Tropical Catchments to Climate Change as Modeled by the GR2M Model: A Case Study in Costa Rica
(Sustainability, 2022-12)This study aimed to assess the impacts of climate change on streamflow characteristics of five tropical catchments located in Costa Rica. An ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs), namely HadGEM2-ES, CanESM2, ... -
Impact of agro-forestry systems on the aroma generation of coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2022)A long experiment has been established since 2000 at CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center), Turrialba, Costa Rica. Twenty agro-forestry systems with different shade types and managements (organic ... -
Impact of Shrimp Ponds on Mangrove Blue Carbon Stocks in Ecuador
(2021-06)Mangrove forests play an important role in mitigating climate change but are threatened by aquaculture expansion. The inclusion of mangroves in climate change mitigation strategies requires measuring of carbon stocks and ... -
Impacts of protected areas vary with the level of government: Comparing avoided deforestation across agencies in the Brazilian Amazon
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019) -
Increasing Biodiversity in Livestock Production Systems: Plant Traits and Natural Regeneration Capacity of Woody Vegetation in Actively Managed Grasslands
(Springer Nature, 2023)Species’ natural regeneration capacity is an ecological property of plant communities that is key to restoring diversity after disturbances and to conserving the delivery of related ecosystem services within agroecosystems. ... -
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 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 post-harvest 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 ...
