Mangrove forests play an important role in mitigating climate change but are threatened by aquaculture expansion. The inclusion of mangroves in climate change mitigation strategies requires measuring of carbon stocks and ...
What information do policy makers need to develop climate adaptation plans for mallholder farmers? : the case of Central America and Mexico
(Springer, 2016)
Scientific and technical information can increase the ability of policy makers to
make strategic decisions. However, climate change policy is often formulated without significant
input from science. We examine whether ...
Long-term response of groundcover components to organic and conventional weed control in shaded and open-sun coffee in Nicaragua
