Active and passive chlorophyll fluorescence measurements at canopy level on potato crops. Evidence of similitude of diurnal cycles of apparent fluorescence yields
(Springer Nature Link, 2022-12-17)We performed active and passive measurements of diurnal cycles of chlorophyll fluorescence on potato crops at canopy level in outdoors conditions for 26 days. Active measurements of the stationary fluorescence yield (Fs) ... -
A scenario modelling approach to assess management impacts on soil erosion in coffee systems in Central America
(Elsevier, 2023-05-05)Soil erosion is one of the major causes of soil degradation worldwide, because it causes the depletion of soil organic carbon, nutrients, and water holding capacity. In Central America, coffee production is vulnerable to ... -
A global meta-analysis of soil organic carbon in the Anthropocene
(Nature, 2023-06-05)The study is a global meta-analysis on soil organic carbon in the Anthropocene, based on more than 25,000 primary studies. It examines how land-use change, land management, and climate change affect soil organic carbon ... -
Volumetric pricing in rural Central America: Drivers of adoption and potential effects on water delivery
(Elsevier, 2024-05-31)In rural and peri‑urban areas of Central America, community water organizations (CWOs) provide water to 60 % of the population, thereby playing a pivotal role in achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals. However, ... -
Variation in Annual Ring and Wood Anatomy of Six Tree Mangrove Species in the Nicoya Gulf of Costa Rica
(MDPI, 2024-11-08)There is limited information regarding the adaptation of anatomical features and growth ring formation to ecological site conditions in Costa Rican mangrove trees. We used the methods and principles of ecological anatomy ... -
Using loss-on-ignition to estimate total nitrogen content of mangrove soils
(Elsevier, 2024-07-10)Loss-on-ignition (LOI) has been widely used to estimate soil organic carbon (OC) content for coastal wetland soils, owing to recent interest in ‘blue carbon’ systems. Comparatively less attention has been paid to soil ... -
El estudio de las aves neotropicales debería abarcar a las ciencias sociales
(2024-12-17)Las poblaciones de aves en el continente Americano y la región Caribe están en declive. Revertir esta tendencia y conservar a las aves de una manera efectiva es una responsabilidad que debe compartirse entre todas las ... -
The carbon footprint of livestock farms under conventional management and silvopastoral systems in Jalisco, Chiapas, and Campeche (Mexico)
(Frontiers, 2024-05-23)Livestock production is one of the most important agricultural sources of greenhouses gasses (GHG). Transforming the livestock sector is a critical task to mitigate the effects of climate change, and the implementation of ... -
Surface water quality in Costa Rica: new initiatives and challenges
(IWA Publishing, 2024-11-04)Despite Costa Rica's reputation for being a leader in environmental policy and its thriving nature-based tourism industry, the nation has had poor surface water quality. Reasons for poor water quality include the lack of ... -
Shade versus intensification: Trade-off or synergy for profitability in coffee agroforestry systems?
(Elsevier, 2023-12-11)This study assesses the economic viability of different coffee production strategies in Costa Rica and Guatemala, comparing intensive systems with shaded agroforestry approaches. Using a typology based on levels of ...
