Effects of agro-forestry systems on the physical and chemical characteristics of green coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2023-07-12)A study at CATIE, Costa Rica, examined 20 agroforestry systems for coffee plantations, testing different management practices and shade types. Physical and chemical attributes of green coffee beans were analyzed. Full sun ... -
About identification of features that affect the estimation of citrus harvest
(2023-06-27)Accurate models for early harvest estimation in citrus production generally involve expensive variables. The goal of this research work was to develop a model to provide early and accurate estimations of ... -
Ethnobotanical Knowledge of Edible Plants Amongst Children from Two Rural Communities in Western Mexico
(Springer, 2023-03-15)Ethnobotanical knowledge, also known as Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK), of edible plants includes identifying plants using local names and knowledge of specific preparations and ecological characteristics. We analyze ... -
How Ecological Characteristics of Seasonal Migratory Species Influence Conservation Threats and Policy Needs
(University of Chicago Press Journals, 2023-03-08)This article argues that effectively protecting migratory behavior and migratory species throughout their annual or life cycle habitats requires conservation policies that simultaneously consider the ecological, socioeconomic, ... -
Views of government and non-government actors on urban forest management and governance in ten Latin-American capital cities
(Elsevier, 2023-03-20)Addressing urban forest management and governance challenges is fundamental for implementing urban forest policies. Most of the evidence on this topic comes from Global North cities, so little is known about how urban ... -
Structure, diversity and the conservation value of tropical dry forests in highly fragmented landscapes
(Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022-03-09)Although tropical dry forests are among the most degraded and fragmented biomes in the world, we still have a poor understanding of their basic ecological features and conservation status, particularly in the Neotropics. ... -
Estimación de las concentraciones relativas de clorofila en foliolos de papa (solanum tuberosum l.) utilizando técnicas de reflectancia de la vegetación
(2023-01-06)La cantidad de energía solar absorbida por una hoja es en gran parte función de la concentración foliar de los pigmentos fotosintéticos. Por lo tanto, bajas concentraciones de clorofila pueden limitar el potencial fotosintético ... -
Multi-sensor airborne lidar requires intercalibration for consistent estimation of light attenuation and plant area density
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Leaf area is a key structural characteristic of forest canopies because of the role of leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes occurring at the biosphere-atmosphere transition. High pulse density ... -
Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ... -
Hydrological Response of Tropical Catchments to Climate Change as Modeled by the GR2M Model: A Case Study in Costa Rica
(Sustainability, 2022-12)This study aimed to assess the impacts of climate change on streamflow characteristics of five tropical catchments located in Costa Rica. An ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs), namely HadGEM2-ES, CanESM2, ...
