The effect of different levels of tree cover on milk production in dual-purpose livestock systems in the humid tropics of the Colombian Amazon region
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)
Abstract Caqueta´, Colombia, has a bovine population of 1,809,702 head, of which 88% are in dual purpose livestock systems; it ranks fifth in milk production at the national level. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ...
Secondary Tropical Dry Forests Are Important to Cattle Ranchers in Northwestern Costa Rica
(2020-07)
In the dry regions of Central America, forests in cattle ranches are used as a refuge for cattle during
the dry season, and there is no much information about this practice. To determine the frequency of
this practice ...
Shade and Agronomic Intensification in Coffee Agroforestry Systems: Trade-Off or Synergy?
(2021)
Despite many years of research, there is still a lack of consensus as to the nature of the relationship between shade trees and agronomic intensification in coffee agroforestry systems. While some studies find unshaded ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(2020)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ...
Tree diversity in a tropical agricultural-forest mosaic landscape in Honduras
(Scientific Reports, 2022-11-03)
Biodiversity decline in the tropics requires the implementation of comprehensive landscape management where agricultural systems are necessarily an integral element of biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the ...
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 ...
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, ...
The global spectrum of plant form and function enhanced species-level trait dataset
(Scientific Data, 2022)
Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per ...
