(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica)
University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), 2008-05)
This study examined the effects of local (shade composition, organic or conventional management, and weed management) and landscape (surrounding land uses) context on sharpshooter communities in coffee agroforestry systeMON ...
Distribution and foraging by the leaf-cutting ant, Atta cephalotes L., in coffee plantations with different types of management and landscape contexts, and alternatives to insecticides for its control
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica). Universidad de Idaho, ID (EUA), 2006)
Atta cephalotes L., the predominant leaf-cutting ant species found in coffee farMON in the Turrialba region of Costa Rica, is considered a pest of the crop because it removes coffee foliage. I applied agroecosystem and ...
Local knowledge regarding trade-offs among coffee productivity and other ecosystem services in a range of different agroforestry systems in Central America
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2012)
This thesis gathers and analyses the local knowledge regarding ecosystem services in coffee producing regions of Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua, and compares this knowledge across a range of farming conditions. The ...
Effects of Erythrina poeppigiana pruning residues on soil organic matter in organic coffee plantations
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica) University of Wales, Bangor (RU). School of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, 2005)
The effects of Erythrina poeppigiana pruning residue effects on soil organic matter were investigated with three different objectives. Firstly, to study the effects of proximity of this shade tree on soil characteristics ...
Hydrological processes (water use and balance) in a coffee (Coffea arabica L.) monoculture and a coffee plantation shaded by Inga densiflora in Costa Rica
(Université Henri Poincaré, Nancy (Francia) CIRAD, Montpellier (Francia) CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica) Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, París (Francia), 2007)
En zonas marginales, los árboles de sombra aumentan la producción de café arábica mejorando el microclima y la fertilidad de suelo. En zonas optimas, los efetos de la sombra son más controversiales, aun así los sistemas ...

Se estudiaron asociaciones jóvenes de Coffea arabica con árboles de sombra (Eucalyptus deglupta, Terminalia ivorensis o Erythrina poeppigiana) en una finca en el Sur de Costa Rica (640 m.s.n.m. y 3516 mm año exponente menos ...
Carbon and economic performance of coffee agroforestry systems in Costa Rica and Nicaragua
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica). Bangor University (United Kingdom), 2012)
