Biomass of timber species in Central American secondary forests: Towards climate change mitigation through sustainable timber harvesting
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-06)
Sustainable management of secondary forests for timber production offers the opportunity to combine nature-based climate change mitigation with direct improvement of human livelihoods in the tropics, but this dual potential ...
The impacts of a capacity-building workshop in a randomized adaptation project
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2019)
Encouraging adaptation to climate change is fundamentally
about encouraging changes in human behaviour. To promote
these changes, governments, non-profits and multilateral
institutions have invested in a range of ...
Payment for Ecosystem Services: The roles of positive incentives and information sharing in stimulating adoption of silvopastoral conservation practices
(2013-06-14)
Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) applied to agricultural systems, such as tropical rangelands, seeks to provide multiple services while sustaining food production. However, there is considerable debate regarding the ...
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 methodological proposal for the evaluation of farmer's adaptation to climate variability, mainly due to drought in watersheds in Central America
(2008)
The current study shows the process and the results of a methodology proposed to contribute with the issue of how to evaluate the adaptation to climate variability and future climate change. The proposed methodology consists ...
Drivers of tropical rainforest composition and alpha diversity patterns over a 2,520 m altitudinal gradient
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019)
Human pressure on water quality and water yield in the upper Grijalva river basin in the Mexico-Guatemala border
(ELSEVIER, 2016)
Forest ecosystems are major providers of high quality water and contribute to maintain a better distribution of base flows during the year. However, these environmental services have been adversely affected by human pressure ...
Long-term response of groundcover components to organic and conventional weed control in shaded and open-sun coffee in Nicaragua
(Crop protection, 2020)
The weed-free period is employed to evaluate the effectiveness of practices to reduce crop loss to weeds. To orient sustainable cropping system approaches in perennial crops such as coffee which are often grown with trees, ...
Population genomic analyses of the chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao L., provide insights into its domestication process
(2018)
Domestication has had a strong impact on the development of modern societies. We
sequenced 200 genomes of the chocolate plant Theobroma cacao L. to show for the first time
to our knowledge that a single population, the ...
