Interactions between climate, shade canopy characteristics and cocoa production in Colombia
(Frontiers, 2024-02-09)Properly designed agroforestry systems (AFS) can generate optimal cocoa bean (BC) yields, produce co-products and provide ecosystem services. This study analyzes the interactions between climate, AFS structure and BC yield ... -
Cadmium concentration in cocoa beans produced in agroforestry systems of small producers in Panama
(CSIC, 2024-01-30)Aim of study: To calculate Cd concentration in cocoa plants and evaluate its relationship with available Cd and other soil properties. Area of study: Almirante, Bocas del Toro province, Panama, in 2020-2021. Material and ... -
Influence of Fermentation Time on the Chemical and Functional Composition of Different Cocoa Clones from Southern Colombia
(MDPI, 2023-11-16)Cocoa bean quality depends mainly on genetic material, edaphoclimatic factors and post-harvest processes such as fermentation. The impact of the fermentation process on the chemical and functional composition of different ... -
Multi-dimensional temperature sensitivity of protected tropical mountain rain forests
(Frontiers, 2024-01-09)Tropical mountain rain forests (TMRF, natural forests at > 300 m asl) are globally important for biodiversity and ecosystem services and are believed to be highly vulnerable to climate change. But there are no specific ... -
Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)An estimated 3.4 million hectares of cocoa and 9.7 million hectares of coffee are cultivated, globally, under shade trees, i.e. in agroforestry systems. Shade canopies are characterized in terms of tree density (N, trees ... -
Increasing Biodiversity in Livestock Production Systems: Plant Traits and Natural Regeneration Capacity of Woody Vegetation in Actively Managed Grasslands
(Springer Nature, 2023)Species’ natural regeneration capacity is an ecological property of plant communities that is key to restoring diversity after disturbances and to conserving the delivery of related ecosystem services within agroecosystems. ... -
Influence of Fermentation Time on the Chemical and Functional Composition of Different Cocoa Clones from Southern Colombia
(MDPI, 2023-11-16)Cocoa bean quality depends mainly on genetic material, edaphoclimatic factors and postharvest processes such as fermentation. The impact of the fermentation process on the chemical and functional composition of different ... -
Botanical diversity, structure and composition in cocoa agroforest systems in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
(Scientia Agropecuaria, 2023-06-05)The tree composition in cocoa agroforestry systems (CAFS) in Guatemala is valued for providing a number of ecosystem services. Despite the importance of the trees in these systems, little is known about the tree species ... -
Functional traits and performance of woody species on oil- affected soils of the Ecuadorian Amazon
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2023-10)Tropical forests cover 10 % of the terrestrial surface and account for 50 % of worldwide tree diversity (Mayaux et al., 2005). More than half of tropical forest areas are composed of tropical rainforests, which are ... -
A review of wildfires effects across the Gran Chaco region
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023-12-01)The main objective of this review paper is to synthesize studies related to fire occurrence, the effects of fire on native vegetation at the Gran Chaco scale, and changes in fire regimes, in order to identify current ...
