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 ...
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 ...
Modeling age and yield dynamics in Coffea arabica pruning systems
(Elsevier, 2022)
The maintenance of rejuvenated, productive plant tissue through regular and frequent pruning is essential to sustain high and stable coffee yields. Different coffee pruning systems have been described by means of well-written ...
Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)
An estimated 3.4 million hectares of cocoa and 9.7 million hectares of coffee are cultivated, globally, under shade trees, i.e. in agroforestry systems. Shade canopies are characterized in terms of tree density (N, trees ...
Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ...
Risk analysis and cacao pod survivorship curves to improve yield forecasting methods
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
Cocoa attainable yields are affected by a complex of pests and diseases in a particular agro-environment. Estimation of yield loss is critical for agronomic and economic decision-making at the farm level. For over 15 months, ...
