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 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 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 ... -
Old-growth neotropical forests are shifting in species and trait composition
(2016)Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition. These shifts may be driven by environmental ... -
Patterns of shade plant diversity in four agroforestry systems across Central America: a meta‑analysis
(Nature, 2023-05-26)Agroforestry systems can potentially increase tree diversity within agricultural landscapes, but to date, there is little understanding of the patterns of shade plant diversity within different agroforestry systems (AFS) ... -
Payment for Ecosystem Services: The roles of positive and information sharing in stimulating adoption of silvopastoral conservation practices
(2015-01-22)Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) applied to agricultural systems, such as tropical rangelands, seeks to provide multiple services while sustaining food production. However, there is considerable debate regarding the ... -
Payment for Ecosystem Services: The roles of positive incentives and information sharing in stimulating adoption of silvopastoral conservation practices
(2013-06-14)Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) applied to agricultural systems, such as tropical rangelands, seeks to provide multiple services while sustaining food production. However, there is considerable debate regarding the ... -
Population genomic analyses of the chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao L., provide insights into its domestication process
(2018)Domestication has had a strong impact on the development of modern societies. We sequenced 200 genomes of the chocolate plant Theobroma cacao L. to show for the first time to our knowledge that a single population, the ... -
Prediction model for sap flow in cacao trees under different radiation intensities in the western Colombian Amazon.
(2021-01)In this study, we measured diurnal patterns of sap fow (Vs) in cacao trees growing in three types of agroforestry systems (AFs) that difer in the incident solar radiation they receive. We modeled the relationship of Vs ... -
¿Qué aporta el conocimiento local para re-direccionar la investigación sobre el efecto de las raíces en reducción de erosión, secuestro de carbono y redistribución de agua en el suelo? : estudio de caso
(2014)Incluir la lógica de los productores en la investigación y transferencia de conocimientos es crucial para la adopción de buenas prácticas de manejo del agroecosistema. Para conocer la percepción de los productores sobre ... -
Relevance of local knowledge in decision-making and rural innovation: A methodological proposal for leveraging participation of Colombian cocoa producers
(Elsevier, 2020)The local knowledge is constituted in the basis for decision-making and is an important part of the livelihood of rural families. Knowledge of cocoa crop management practices takes an essential role in the producers’ ... -

Searching for manatees in the dark waters of a transboundary river between Mexico and Belize: a predictive distribution model
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020-11-05)Antillean manatees in the Hondo River have been recorded from aerial and aquatic surveys, and interviews. However, these studies have been conducted only in the lower riverbed, leaving a gap of information about their ... -
Selecting a core set of nuclear SNP markers for molecular characterization of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) genetic resources
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021)Coffee is one of the most economically important agricultural commodities in the world. Labeling accuracy and conservation efficiency are essential for coffee germplasm management and for the exchange and utilization in ... -
Shade tree Chloroleucon eurycyclum promotes coffee leaf rust by reducing uredospore wash-off by rain
