Diverse farmer livelihoods increase resilience to climate variability in southern Colombia
(Elsevier, 2023)
Climate variability affects agricultural production systems and rural communities, generating risks to food security and increasing rural poverty. Therefore, improving the capacity of rural households to adapt to climate ...
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, ...
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) ...
A just transition for antimicrobial resistance: planning for an equitable and sustainable future with antimicrobial resistance
(The Lancet, 2023-09-08)
It discusses the urgent need to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and provides insights on how to reduce its impact in the future. It highlights the consequences of clinically ineffective ...
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, ...
An Improved Framework for Estimating Organic Carbon Content of Mangrove Soils Using loss-on-ignition and Coastal Environmental Setting
(Springer, 2023-06-22)
The use of loss on ignition (LOI) measurements of soil organic matter (SOM) to estimate soil organic carbon (OC) content is a decades-old practice. While there are limitations and uncertainties to this approach, it continues ...
Contribución de la cobertura arbórea a la compensación de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de fincas productoras de leche en el sur oriente de Guatemala
(2023-04-11)
Identificar las principales fuentes de emisión de GEI y determinar el balance de carbono en fincas lecheras con diferentes niveles de innovación tecnológica en la región sureste de Guatemala. Se seleccionaron 30 fincas con ...
Enteric Methane Emissions in Dairy Cows with Different Genetic Groups in the Humid Tropics of Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2023)
Enteric methane (CH4) is one of the main greenhouse gases emitted in livestock production systems with ruminants. Among the options to reduce such emissions, animal genetics is one of the factors that is taking relevance ...
