Botanical diversity, structure and composition in cocoa agroforest systems in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
(Scientia Agropecuaria, 2023-06-05)
The tree composition in cocoa agroforestry systems (CAFS) in Guatemala is valued for providing a number of ecosystem services. Despite the importance of the trees in these systems, little is known about the tree species ...
Risk analysis and cacao pod survivorship curves to improve yield forecasting methods
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
Cocoa attainable yields are affected by a complex of pests and diseases in a particular agro-environment. Estimation of yield loss is critical for agronomic and economic decision-making at the farm level. For over 15 months, ...
Interactions between climate, shade canopy characteristics and cocoa production in Colombia
(Frontiers, 2024-02-09)
Properly designed agroforestry systems (AFS) can generate optimal cocoa bean (BC) yields, produce co-products and provide ecosystem services. This study analyzes the interactions between climate, AFS structure and BC yield ...
Cadmium concentration in cocoa beans produced in agroforestry systems of small producers in Panama

Aim of study: To calculate Cd concentration in cocoa plants and evaluate its relationship with available Cd and other soil properties. Area of study: Almirante, Bocas del Toro province, Panama, in 2020-2021. Material and ...
Effects of agro-forestry systems on the physical and chemical characteristics of green coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2023-07-12)
A study at CATIE, Costa Rica, examined 20 agroforestry systems for coffee plantations, testing different management practices and shade types. Physical and chemical attributes of green coffee beans were analyzed. Full sun ...
Ethnobotanical Knowledge of Edible Plants Amongst Children from Two Rural Communities in Western Mexico
(Springer, 2023-03-15)
Ethnobotanical knowledge, also known as Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK), of edible plants includes identifying plants using local names and knowledge of specific preparations and ecological characteristics. We analyze ...
Structure, diversity and the conservation value of tropical dry forests in highly fragmented landscapes
(Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022-03-09)
Although tropical dry forests are among the most degraded and fragmented biomes in the world, we still have a poor understanding of their basic ecological features and conservation status, particularly in the Neotropics. ...
Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ...
About identification of features that affect the estimation of citrus harvest
(2023-06-27)
Accurate models for early harvest estimation in citrus production generally involve expensive variables. The goal of this research work was to develop a model to provide early and accurate estimations of ...
A review of wildfires effects across the Gran Chaco region
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023-12-01)
The main objective of this review paper is to synthesize studies related to fire occurrence, the effects of fire on native vegetation at the Gran Chaco scale, and changes in fire regimes, in order to identify current ...
