A global map of mangrove forest soil carbon at 30m spatial resolution
(2018)
With the growing recognition that effective action on climate change will require a combination of
emissions reductions and carbon sequestration, protecting, enhancing and restoring natural carbon
sinks have become ...
What information do policy makers need to develop climate adaptation plans for mallholder farmers? : the case of Central America and Mexico
(Springer, 2016)
Scientific and technical information can increase the ability of policy makers to
make strategic decisions. However, climate change policy is often formulated without significant
input from science. We examine whether ...
Influence of topographic and edaphic factors on vulnerability to soil degradation due to cattle grazing in humid tropical mountains in northern Honduras
(2015-01-22)
Low altitude humid tropical mountains in Central America have experienced a process of livestock expansion during recent decades. However, the use of sloping areas for cattle grazingmay lead to significant soil degradation
and ...
Disturbance and the elevation ranges of woody plant species in the mountains of Costa Rica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Quantifying soil carbon stocks and humification through spectroscopic methods: A scoping assessment in EMBU-Kenya
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
A soil carbon assessment was performed comparing agricultural cropping systems with natural vegetation along a sampling transect spanning different agro-ecologies on the eastern foot slopes of Mount Kenya in Embu county, ...
Combining reference trials, farm surveys and mathematical models to assess carbon footprint and mitigation measures in tropical agriculture
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
This study aimed at estimating carbon footprint (CF) and assessing mitigation options for selected tropical crops using excel-based models, parameterized with data collected through closed-ended questions questionnaires, ...
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 ...
Development of low-cost remote sensing tools and methods for supporting smallholder agriculture
(Springer Link, 2019)
Agricultural UAV-based remote sensing tools to facilitate decision-making for increasing productivity in developing countries were developed and tested. Specifically, a high-quality multispectral sensor and sophisticated ...
