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 ...
Policy design for the Anthropocene
(Nature, 2019)
Forecast models of coffee leaf rust symptoms and signs based on identified microclimatic combinations in coffee-based agroforestry systems in Costa Rica
(2020)
Coffee leaf rust is a polycyclic disease that causes severe epidemics impacting yield over several years. For this reason, since the 1960s, more than 20 models have been developed to predict different indicators of the ...
Development of an Open-Source Thermal Image Processing Software for Improving Irrigation Management in Potato Crops (Solanum tuberosum L.)
(2020)
Accurate determination of plant water status is mandatory to optimize irrigation scheduling
and thus maximize yield. Infrared thermography (IRT) can be used as a proxy for detecting
stomatal closure as a measure of plant ...
Disturbance and the elevation ranges of woody plant species in the mountains of Costa Rica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Policy Note: Policy Responses to Ensure Access to Water and Sanitation Services During COVID-19: Snapshots from the Environment for Development (EfD) Network
(2020)
This policy note provides a snapshot of water and sanitation measures implemented by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 14 countries in the Global South: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, ...
Radiation Interception, Conversion and Partitioning Efficiency in Potato Landraces: How Far Are We from the Optimum?
(MDPI, Basel (Switzerland), 2020-06)
Crop efficiencies associated with intercepted radiation, conversion into biomass and allocation to edible organs are essential for yield improvement strategies that would enhance geneticproperties to maximize carbon gain ...
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 ...
Widespread mangrove damage resulting from the 2017 Atlantic mega hurricane season
(2020)
Comprised of 17 named tropical storms, 6 of which were major hurricanes, the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season ranked as one of the most damaging and costly hurricane seasons on record. In addition to socio-economic impacts, ...
