Deforestation processes in the livestock territory of La Vía Láctea, Matagalpa, Nicaragua
(2019)
Land-use change is considered one of the main causes of environmental
degradation. Thus, its analysis will allow stakeholders to make reasonable
decisions for land management. The objective of the present study was ...
Unraveling the Complexity of Coffee Leaf Rust Behavior and Development in Different Coffea arabica Agroecosystems
(2020)
Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, ...
Total litterfall and leaf‑litter decomposition of Theobroma grandiflorum under different agroforestry systems in the western Colombian Amazon
(Springer, 2023)
The objective of this study was to quantify the amount of litter accumulated on the soil and the rate of decomposition in multistrata successional agroforestry systems with Theobroma grandiflorum as mainly crop, compared ...
Optimal Siting, Sizing, and Enforcement of Marine Protected Areas
(2020)
The design of protected areas, whether marine or terrestrial, rarely considers how people respond to the imposition of no-take sites with complete or incomplete enforcement. Consequently, these protected areas may fail to ...
Forecast models of coffee leaf rust symptoms and signs based on identified microclimatic combinations in coffee-based agroforestry systems in Costa Rica
(2020)
Coffee leaf rust is a polycyclic disease that causes severe epidemics impacting yield over several years. For this reason, since the 1960s, more than 20 models have been developed to predict different indicators of the ...
Development of an Open-Source Thermal Image Processing Software for Improving Irrigation Management in Potato Crops (Solanum tuberosum L.)
(2020)
Accurate determination of plant water status is mandatory to optimize irrigation scheduling
and thus maximize yield. Infrared thermography (IRT) can be used as a proxy for detecting
stomatal closure as a measure of plant ...
Tracer hydrology of the data-scarce and heterogeneous Central American Isthmus
(2020)
Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water ...
Rank-based data synthesis of common bean on-farm trials across four Central American countries
(Crop Breeding & Genetics, 2022)
Location-specific information is required to support decision making in crop variety
management, especially under increasingly challenging climate conditions. Data
synthesis can aggregate data from individual trials to ...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(2020)
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ...
