Shade tree traits and microclimate modifications: Implications for pathogen management in biodiverse coffee agroforests
(Wiley Biotropica, New Jersey (Estados Unidos), 2021-04)
Diversified coffee agroforests modify microclimate conditions in comparison with monocultures, impacting the success of significant plant pathogens, such as Hemileia vastatrix, which causes coffee leaf rust (CLR). However, ...
Genetic diversity and population structure for ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in Costa Rica
(Oxford University Press, 2021-12)
Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are a wide-ranging felid species, occurring from southern United States to northern
Argentina. They occupy various habitats and are usually considered the most abundant wild cat species in ...
Water use, leaf cooling and carbon assimilation efficiency of heat resistant common beans evaluated in western Amazonia
(2021)
In our study, we analyzed 30years of climatological data revealing the bean production risks for Western Amazonia. Climatological profiling showed high daytime and nighttime temperatures combined with high relative humidity ...
Validating South Sudan as a Center of Origin for Coffea arabica: Implications for Conservation and Coffee Crop Improvement
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021)
Cultivated Arabica coffee outside Ethiopia is plagued by low genetic diversity, compromising disease resistance, climate resiliency and sensory potential. Access to the wider genetic diversity of this species may circumvent ...
Planned behavior and social capital: Understanding farmers’ behavior toward pressurized irrigation technologies.
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-09)
Water scarcity is becoming a major challenge worldwide. The agricultural sector, as a main user of freshwater, may significantly increase its water use efficiency by promoting water saving strategies. This paper proposes ...
Dispersal limitation, soil, and fire affect functional properties of tropical secondary forests on abandoned cattle ranching landscapes
(2021)
Forest age is a major predictor of secondary forest functional properties and through the chronosequence approach continues to be a principal focus in local, landscape, and regional-scale studies of secondary succession. ...
Efecto del riego y la fertilización sobre la calidad de plántulas forestales con potencial uso para restauración del bosque tropical seco
(2021)
La calidad de plántulas es un factor clave que influye en el crecimiento y sobrevivencia luego del trasplante, pero pocos estudios han evaluado el efecto de las prácticas culturales sobre la calidad de especies latifoliadas ...
