The effect of different levels of tree cover on milk production in dual-purpose livestock systems in the humid tropics of the Colombian Amazon region
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)Abstract Caqueta´, Colombia, has a bovine population of 1,809,702 head, of which 88% are in dual purpose livestock systems; it ranks fifth in milk production at the national level. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ... -
The effects of propagation environment and foliar area on the rooting physiology of Cordia alliodora (Ruiz & Pavon) Oken cuttings
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 1997) -
The impacts of a capacity-building workshop in a randomized adaptation project
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2019)Encouraging adaptation to climate change is fundamentally about encouraging changes in human behaviour. To promote these changes, governments, non-profits and multilateral institutions have invested in a range of ... -
The positive association between natural vegetation, native coccinellids and functional diversity of aphidophagous coccinellid communities in alfalfa
(2021-01)1. A greater taxonomic and functional diversity of natural enemies in agroecosystems is frequently positively associated with more effective pest control, due to the complementarity of species or traits. But this diversity ... -
The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey, data from 13,310 farm households in 21 countries
(2020-02)The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) is a standardized farm household survey approach which collects information on 758 variables covering household demographics, farm area, crops grown and their ... -
Total litterfall and leaf‑litter decomposition of Theobroma grandiflorum under different agroforestry systems in the western Colombian Amazon
(Springer, 2023)The objective of this study was to quantify the amount of litter accumulated on the soil and the rate of decomposition in multistrata successional agroforestry systems with Theobroma grandiflorum as mainly crop, compared ... -
Tracer hydrology of the data-scarce and heterogeneous Central American Isthmus
(2020)Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water ... -
Transformation of coffee-growing landscapes across Latin America. A review
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2021-09)In Latin America, the cultivation of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) plays a critical role in rural livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. Over the last 20 years, coffee farms and landscapes ... -
Tree cover on cattle farms in the southeast region of Guatemala
(Science Publishing Group, New York (Estados Unidos), 2019)Often livestock activity is related to deforestation and loss of natural resources such as soil and water quality and quantity. The strategies that come from this perception seek the minimization of livestock effect of ... -
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(2020)Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ... -
Unraveling Ecophysiological Mechanisms in Potatoes under Different Irrigation Methods: A Preliminary Field Evaluation
(2020)Potatoes—a global food security and staple crop—is threatened by dry spells in drought-prone areas. The use of physiological thresholds to save water while maintaining a reasonable tuber yield has been proposed, but their ... -
Unraveling the Complexity of Coffee Leaf Rust Behavior and Development in Different Coffea arabica Agroecosystems
(2020)Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, ... -
Variación intraespecífica de rasgos funcionales de Cedrela odorata L. en la Península de Nicoya, Costa Rica
(2020)El cambio climático modificará el régimen hidrológico global a causa de alteraciones en la magnitud de la precipitación y temperatura, y su interacción con las condiciones físicas y de vegetación de cada lugar; esto ... -

What information do policy makers need to develop climate adaptation plans for mallholder farmers? : the case of Central America and Mexico
(Springer, 2016)Scientific and technical information can increase the ability of policy makers to make strategic decisions. However, climate change policy is often formulated without significant input from science. We examine whether ... -
