Altitude and species identity drive leaf litter decomposition rates of ten species on a 2950 m altitudinal gradient in Neotropical rain forests
(2019)
Identifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and ...
Policy design for the Anthropocene
(Nature, 2019)
Disturbance and the elevation ranges of woody plant species in the mountains of Costa Rica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
Leadership for moving the climate change adaptation agenda from planning to action
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2017)
An increasing number of initiatives for adaptation to climate change are occurring at multiple scales and decision focuses (e.g., impact assessment, policy design, technology development, planning management and implementation ...
Canopy chlorophyll fluorescence applied to stress detection using an easy-to-build micro-lidar
(Springer Link, 2019)
LEDFLEX is a micro-lidar dedicated to the measurement of vegetation fluorescence. The light source consists of 4 blue Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) to illuminate part of the canopy in order to average the spatial variability ...
Tree cover on cattle farms in the southeast region of Guatemala
(Science Publishing Group, New York (Estados Unidos), 2019)
Often livestock activity is related to deforestation and loss of natural resources such as soil and water quality and
quantity. The strategies that come from this perception seek the minimization of livestock effect of ...
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, ...
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 ...
