Patterns of shade plant diversity in four agroforestry systems across Central America: a meta‑analysis
(Nature, 2023-05-26)
Agroforestry systems can potentially increase tree diversity within agricultural landscapes, but to date, there is little understanding of the patterns of shade plant diversity within different agroforestry systems (AFS) ...
A methodological proposal for the evaluation of farmer's adaptation to climate variability, mainly due to drought in watersheds in Central America
(2008)
The current study shows the process and the results of a methodology proposed to contribute with the issue of how to evaluate the adaptation to climate variability and future climate change. The proposed methodology consists ...
¿Qué aporta el conocimiento local para re-direccionar la investigación sobre el efecto de las raíces en reducción de erosión, secuestro de carbono y redistribución de agua en el suelo? : estudio de caso
(2014)
Incluir la lógica de los productores en la investigación y transferencia de conocimientos es crucial para la adopción de buenas prácticas de manejo del agroecosistema. Para conocer la percepción de los productores sobre ...

Population genomic analyses of the chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao L., provide insights into its domestication process
(2018)
Domestication has had a strong impact on the development of modern societies. We
sequenced 200 genomes of the chocolate plant Theobroma cacao L. to show for the first time
to our knowledge that a single population, the ...
