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

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 ... -

The global spectrum of plant form and function enhanced species-level trait dataset
(Scientific Data, 2022)Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per ... -
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 ... -
Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022)We assessed 36 cacao plots made up of 15–35 useful timber shade trees with varying spacing 6 × 9, 9 × 9, 8 × 10, and 10 × 12m. Initially, each plot consisted of three shade components plus cacao. Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca) ... -
Time-varying pricing may increase total electricity consumption: Evidence from Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2020)We study the implementation of a time-varying pricing (TVP) program by a major electricity utility in Costa Rica. Because of particular features of the data, we use recently developed understanding ofthe two-way fixed ... -
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 ... -
Tree diversity in a tropical agricultural-forest mosaic landscape in Honduras
(Scientific Reports, 2022-11-03)Biodiversity decline in the tropics requires the implementation of comprehensive landscape management where agricultural systems are necessarily an integral element of biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the ... -
Trees as hotspots: Using forest, trees, and agroforestry to foster diverse sustainable landscapes
(Agricultural Systems, 2022)Forests, trees, and agroforestry (FTA) are ecosystem hotspots. They exemplify the contributions of biodiversity to sustainable and resilient landscapes, green circular economy and to sustainable agriculture and food systems ... -
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 ...
