Modelling strategies for assessing and increasing the effectiveness of new phenotyping techniques in plant breeding
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
New types of phenotyping tools generate large amounts of data on many aspects of plant physiology and morphology with high spatial and temporal resolution. These new phenotyping data are potentially useful to improve ...
Accurate Differentiation of Green Beans of Arabica and Robusta Coffee Using Nanofluidic Array of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Markers
(2020)
Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. The Arabica (Coffea arabica L.) and
Robusta (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) species are the two main types of coffees for ...
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 ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(2020)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ...
Forest cover mediates large and mediumsized mammal occurrence in a critical link of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor
(2021)
Connectivity of natural areas through biological corridors is essential for ecosystem resilience and biodiversity conservation. However, robust assessments of biodiversity in corridor areas are often hindered by logistical ...
Agronomic conditions of cacao cultivation: its relationship with the capitals endowment of Colombian rural households
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)
Abstract Cacao cultivation has great socioeconomic importance for the development of rural areas of Colombia, especially for the approximately 52,000 rural households that depend on it. Therefore, is important to analyze ...
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 ...
Economic constraints as drivers of coffee rust epidemics in Nicaragua
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020-10)
Coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix) epidemics of an intensity never seen before have hit Central America since 2012. This study set out to identify management and socio-economic factors that facilitate coffee rust development ...
