Applying conservation social science to study the human dimensions of Neotropical bird conservation
(2020)As the global human population increases, and many bird populations in the Neotropics and the rest of the world continue to decline, the study of the intersection of humans, birds, and conservation has become more relevant ... -
Assessing Potential Effects of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) on Water Ecosystem Service in the Interurban Micro-Watershed Río Torres, Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2023-05-03)The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) generates positive effects on the water ecosystem service in an urban context. Practices such as bioretention cells, green roofs, rain gardens, ... -
Assessing the accuracy and robustness of a process-based model for coffee agroforestry systems in Central America
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)Coffee is often grown in production systems associated with shade trees that provide different ecosystem services. Management, weather and soil conditions are spatially variable production factors. CAF2007 is a dynamic ... -
Authentication of Coffea arabica Varieties through DNA Fingerprinting and its Significance for the Coffee Sector
(2020-01)Background: Locating the optimal varieties for coffee cultivation is increasingly considered a key condition for sustainable production and marketing. Variety performance varies when it comes to susceptibility to coffee ... -

Biomass of timber species in Central American secondary forests: Towards climate change mitigation through sustainable timber harvesting
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-06)Sustainable management of secondary forests for timber production offers the opportunity to combine nature-based climate change mitigation with direct improvement of human livelihoods in the tropics, but this dual potential ... -
Cacao agroforestry systems improve soil fertility: Comparison of soil properties between forest, cacao agroforestry systems, and pasture in the Colombian Amazon
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-01)The objective of our work was to evaluate soil quality in different cacao agroforestry systems (AFS) in the Colombian Amazon. We compared soil quality of AFS at the study site with soil quality of two control systems: a ... -
Cacao cultivation as a livelihood strategy: contributions to the well‑being of Colombian rural households
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021-07)Cacao cultivation is one of the most important livelihoods for rural households in Colombia, where it is promoted as a substitute for the illegal cultivation of coca. To strengthen Colombian cacao farming, it is important ... -
Calidad de la madera de Pinus oocarpa Schiede en Honduras: gravedad específica y contenido de extractivos
(1989)Se estudiaron los parámetros más confiables para predecir la calidad de la madera de Pinus oocarpa Schiede (pino ocote) en árboles jóvenes procedentes de los departamentos de Comayagua y Olancho en Honduras, con muestreo ... -
Canopy chlorophyll fluorescence applied to stress detection using an easy-to-build micro-lidar
(Springer Link, 2019)LEDFLEX is a micro-lidar dedicated to the measurement of vegetation fluorescence. The light source consists of 4 blue Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) to illuminate part of the canopy in order to average the spatial variability ... -
CGIAR modeling approaches for resource-constrained scenarios: I. Accelerating crop breeding for a changing climate
(American Society of Agronomy, 2020)Crop improvement efforts aiming at increasing crop production (quantity, quality) and adapting to climate change have been subject of active research over the past years. But, the question remains ‘to what extent can ... -
CGIAR modeling approaches for resource-constrained scenarios: II. Models for analyzing socioeconomic factors to improve policy recommendations
(Agonomy Crop and Soil Science Societies, 2020)International crop-related research as conducted by the CGIAR uses crop modeling for a variety of purposes. By linking crop models with economic models and approaches, crop model outputs can be effectively used as inputs ... -
Combining reference trials, farm surveys and mathematical models to assess carbon footprint and mitigation measures in tropical agriculture
(ELSEVIER, 2019)This study aimed at estimating carbon footprint (CF) and assessing mitigation options for selected tropical crops using excel-based models, parameterized with data collected through closed-ended questions questionnaires, ... -
