The Hondo River is the natural border between Mexico and Belize, and it is part of the distribution area of the Endangered Antillean manatee Trichechus manatus manatus. Currently, the Hondo River does not have any special ...
Trees as hotspots: Using forest, trees, and agroforestry to foster diverse sustainable landscapes
(Agricultural Systems, 2022)
Forests, trees, and agroforestry (FTA) are ecosystem hotspots. They exemplify the contributions of biodiversity to sustainable and resilient landscapes, green circular economy and to sustainable agriculture and food systems ...
ShadeMotion: tree shade patterns in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems
(Springer, 2022-10-25)
Shade trees in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems provide valuable livelihoods and other ecosystem services. Unfortunately, most shade canopies are sub-optimally designed and managed and the reasons behind this ...
Silvopastoral systems for offsetting livestock emissions in the tropics a case study of a dairy farm in Costa Rica
(Agonomy fo Sustainable Development, 2022-09-19)
Ways are being sought to reduce the environmental impact of ruminant livestock farming. Integration of trees into farming systems has been advocated as a measure to deliver ecosystem services, inter alia climate regulation ...
Ecosystem services from coffee agroforestry in Central America: estimation using the CAF2021 model
(Springer Nature, 2022)
The goal of sustainable coffee production requires multiple functions from agroforestry systems. Many are difficult to quantify and data are lacking, hampering the choice of shade tree species and agronomic management. ...
Somatic embryogenesis of Arabica coffee in temporary immersion culture: Advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation of selected genotypes
(Plant Science, 2022-10)
Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semiautomation of high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent exposure of explants to liquid medium in cycles ...
Silvopastoral systems and remnant forests enhance carbon storage in livestock‑dominated landscapes in Mexico
(Scientific Reports, 2022)
A large area of the terrestrial land surface is used for livestock grazing. Trees on grazing lands provide and can enhance multiple ecosystem services such as provisioning, cultural and regulating, that include carbon ...
Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022)
We assessed 36 cacao plots made up of 15–35 useful timber shade trees with varying spacing 6 × 9, 9 × 9, 8 × 10, and 10 × 12m. Initially, each plot consisted of three shade components plus cacao. Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca) ...
