Competition for light in heterogeneous canopies Application of MAESTRA to a coffee (Coffea arabica L.) agroforestry system
(Elsevier, 2013-11-15)In agroforestry systems (AFS), quantifying the competition for light is a prerequisite toward understanding the impact of shade trees on the productivity of the under-crop. Models for homogeneous canopies and shade/full-sun ... -
Increased light-use efficiency sustains net primary productivity of shaded coffee plants in agroforestry system
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-08)In agroforestry systems, shade trees strongly affect the physiology of the undergrown crop. However, a major paradigm is that the reduction in absorbed photosynthetically active radiation is, to a certain extent, compensated ... -
Environmental-economic benefits and trade-offs on sustainably certified coffee farms
(Elsevier, 2017-08-01)Coffee with diverse shade trees is recognized as conserving greater biodiversity than more intensive production methods. Sustainable certification has been proposed as an incentive to conserve shade grown coffee. With 40% ... -
Functional biogeography of oceanic islands and the scaling of functional diversity in the Azores
(National Academy of Sciences, 2014-09-23)Analyses of species-diversity patterns of remote islands have been crucial to the development of biogeographic theory, yet little is known about corresponding patterns in functional traits on islands and how, for example, ... -
Functional implications of trait-environment linkages in plant communities
(Cambridge University Press, 1999)In this chapter, three fundamental concepts in community ecology are dealt with: assembly rules, trait-environment linkages, and plant functional types. Although all of them have received considerable attention in the ... -
Patterns of animal diversity in different forms of tree cover in agricultural landscapes
(Ecological Society of America, 2006-10)As tropical regions are converted to agriculture, conservation of biodiversity will depend not only on the maintenance of protected forest areas, but also on the scope for conservation within the agricultural matrix in ... -
A Multiple-Comparisons Method Based on the Distribution of the Root Node Distance of a Binary Tree
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-06)This articleproposesan easyto implementcluster-basedmethodforidentifyinggroups of nonhomogeneousmeans. The method overcomes the common problem of the classical multiple-comparisonmethods that lead to the construction of ... -
Diversity enhances carbon storage in tropical forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2015-11)Aim Tropical forests store 25% of the global carbon and harbor 96% of the world’s tree species, but it is not clear whether this high biodiversity matters for carbon storage. Few studies have teased apart the relative ... -
Plant functional traits and environmental filters at a regional scale
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1998-02)Links between plant traits and the environment, i.e. sets of plant attributes consistently associated with certain environmental conditions, are the consequence of the filtering effect of climatic, disturbance and biotic ... -
Balance de carbono en sistemas ganaderos regenerativos del Chaco paraguayo: un análisis exploratorio
(2025)Los sistemas ganaderos en la región semiárida del Chaco paraguayo juegan un rol clave tanto en la economía como en la dinámica ecológica del territorio. Este estudio presenta una evaluación exploratoria de las emisiones ...
