The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey, data from 13,310 farm households in 21 countries
(2020-02)
The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) is a standardized farm household survey
approach which collects information on 758 variables covering household demographics, farm area,
crops grown and their ...
A framework for selecting and designing policies to reduce marine plastic pollution in developing countries
(2020)
The polluting of marine ecosystems with plastics is both a global and a local problem with potentially severe consequences for wildlife, economic activity, and human health. It is a problem that originates in countries ...
Permanence of PES and the role of social context in the Regional Integrated Silvo-pastoral Ecosystem Management Project in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-07)
We present rare, empirical evidence on the permanence of land use changes induced by a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program. A follow-up study was conducted a decade after the end of the Regional Integrated ...
Disturbance and the elevation ranges of woody plant species in the mountains of Costa Rica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)
CGIAR modeling approaches for resource-constrained scenarios: I. Accelerating crop breeding for a changing climate
(American Society of Agronomy, 2020)
Crop improvement efforts aiming at increasing crop production (quantity, quality) and adapting to climate change have been subject of active research over the past years. But, the question remains ‘to what extent can ...
A single polyploidization event at the origin of the tetraploid genome of Coffea arabica is responsible for the extremely low genetic variation in wild and cultivated germplasm
(2020)
The genome of the allotetraploid species Coffea arabica L. was sequenced to assemble independently
the two component subgenomes (putatively deriving from C. canephora and C. eugenioides) and
to perform a genome-wide ...
Assessing the accuracy and robustness of a process-based model for coffee agroforestry systems in Central America
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2020)
Coffee is often grown in production systems associated with shade trees that provide different ecosystem services. Management, weather and soil conditions are spatially variable production factors. CAF2007 is a dynamic ...
Altitude and species identity drive leaf litter decomposition rates of ten species on a 2950 m altitudinal gradient in Neotropical rain forests
(2019)
Identifying the environmental factors controlling litter decomposition is key to understanding the magnitude and rates of nutrient cycling in tropical forests, and how they may be influenced by climate variability and ...
Applying conservation social science to study the human dimensions of Neotropical bird conservation
(2020)
As the global human population increases, and many bird populations in the Neotropics and the rest of the world continue to decline, the study of the intersection of humans, birds, and conservation has become more relevant ...
