Silvopastoral systems and remnant forests enhance carbon storage in livestock‑dominated landscapes in Mexico
(Scientific Reports, 2022)A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural and regulating, that include carbon ... -
Silvopastoral systems for offsetting livestock emissions in the tropics a case study of a dairy farm in Costa Rica
(Agonomy fo Sustainable Development, 2022-09-19)Ways are being sought to reduce the environmental impact of ruminant livestock farming. Integration of trees into farming systems has been advocated as a measure to deliver ecosystem services, inter alia climate regulation ... -
Siting Marine Protected Areas with Area Targets Protecting Rural Incomes, Fish Stocks, and Turtles in Costa Rica
(2020-04)With many countries seeking to increase the area conserved in marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve the Convention on Biodiversity’s protected area targets by 2020, we employ a bioeconomic model to determine which ... -
SNP markers found in non‑coding regions can distinguish among low‑variant genotypes of Arabica and other coffee species
(Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2022)Development of efficient and scalable methods for molecular identification of Coffea spp. are necessary to accelerate studies related to the characterization of germplasm for both conservation or breeding purposes, and the ... -
Soil resistance and recovery during neotropical forest succession
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2022-01-24)The recovery of soil conditions is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration and, hence, for achieving the goals of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Here, we assess how soils resist forest conversion and agricultural ... -
Somatic embryogenesis of Arabica coffee in temporary immersion culture: Advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation of selected genotypes
(Plant Science, 2022-10)Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semiautomation of high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent exposure of explants to liquid medium in cycles ... -
Species interactions across trophic levels mediate rainfall effects on dryland vegetation dynamics
(2020)Arid ecosystems are strongly limited by water availability, and precipitation plays a 2 major role in the dynamics of all species in arid regions, as well as the ecosystem processes that 3 occur there. However, understanding ... -
Spillovers from targeting of incentives: Exploring responses to being excluded.
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2017)A growing set of policies involve transfers conditioned upon socially desired actions, such as attending school or conserving forest. However, given a desire to maximize the impact of limited funds by avoiding transfers ... -
Strong floristic distinctiveness across Neotropical successional forests
(Science, 2022)Forests that regrow naturally on abandoned fields are important for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services, but can they also preserve the distinct regional tree floras? Using the floristic composition of 1215 early ... -
Structure, diversity and the conservation value of tropical dry forests in highly fragmented landscapes
(Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022-03-09)Although tropical dry forests are among the most degraded and fragmented biomes in the world, we still have a poor understanding of their basic ecological features and conservation status, particularly in the Neotropics. ... -
Successional cocoa agroforests of the Amazon-Orinoco-Guiana shield
(2013)Cocoa was used as a fruit in its native range. Cocoa fruits were harvested from “wild” cocoa stands embedded into the forests growing on the high terraces of the Amazon and Orinoco river systems and in the Guiana shield. ... -
The coffee rust crises in Colombia and Central America (2008-2013): impacts, plausible causes and proposed solutions
(2015)Coffee rust is a leaf disease caused by the fungus, Hemileia vastatrix. Coffee rust epidemics, with intensities higher than previously observed, have affected a number of countries including: Colombia, from 2008 to 2011; ... -
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 existence value of the Antillean manatee in the unprotected Hondo River (Mexico) as a fundamental component for its conservation
(Journal for Nature Conservation, 2022)The Hondo River is the natural border between Mexico and Belize, and it is part of the distribution area of the Endangered Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus. Currently, the Hondo River does not have any special ...
