Economic constraints as drivers of coffee rust epidemics in Nicaragua
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020-10)
Coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix) epidemics of an intensity never seen before have hit Central America since 2012. This study set out to identify management and socio-economic factors that facilitate coffee rust development ...
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 ...
Ecosystem services and gender in rural areas of Nicaragua: Different perceptions about the landscape
(2020)
The study of Ecosystem services (ES) is a prolific field of research. Despite the great biological and cultural diversity, in Latin America, research in this field has been growing at a much slower rate than in the rest ...
Do Coffee Agroforestry Systems Always Improve Soil Carbon Stocks Deeper in the Soil?—A Case Study from Turrialba, Costa Rica
(2020)
Shaded perennial agroforestry systems (AFS) are regarded as desirable land-use practices that improve soil carbon sequestration. However, most studies assume a positive correlation between above ground and below ground ...
Ecosystem services from coffee agroforestry in Central America: estimation using the CAF2021 model
(Springer Nature, 2022)
The goal of sustainable coffee production requires multiple functions from agroforestry systems. Many are difficult to quantify and data are lacking, hampering the choice of shade tree species and agronomic management. ...
Impact of agro-forestry systems on the aroma generation of coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2022)
A long experiment has been established since 2000 at CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center), Turrialba, Costa Rica. Twenty agro-forestry systems with different shade types and managements (organic ...
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 ...
