Good data are not enough: Understanding limited information use for climate risk and food security management in Guatemala.
(2020)
Climate extremes are one of the main drivers of acute food insecurity. In Guatemala, acute food insecurity reaches alarming levels when the usual dry period during the bimodal rainy seasons is extended or starts earlier ...
The effects of propagation environment and foliar area on the rooting physiology of Cordia alliodora (Ruiz & Pavon) Oken cuttings
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 1997)
Above-ground biomass storage potential in primary rain forests managed for timber production in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-07)
Tropical forests play a fundamental role in mitigating climate change through storage of carbon in above- and below- ground biomass. Their mitigation potential is, however, affected by significant greenhouse gas emissions ...

Agroforestry systems provide firewood for livelihood improvement in Guatemala
(CIRAD, Montpellier (France), 2019)
Given the context of climate change and
poverty, rural populations are increasingly
faced with the challenges of appropriate
resource management, adequate
food production and improving their
quality of life. Guatemala ...
Epidemics and the future of coffee production.
(2021-06)
In this perspective, we draw on recent scientific research on the coffee leaf rust (CLR) epidemic that
severely impacted several countries across Latin America and the Caribbean over the last decade, to
explore how the ...
Successional cocoa agroforests of the Amazon-Orinoco-Guiana shield
(2013)
Cocoa was used as a fruit in its native range. Cocoa fruits were harvested from “wild”
cocoa stands embedded into the forests growing on the high terraces of the Amazon and Orinoco river systems and in the Guiana shield. ...
Selecting a core set of nuclear SNP markers for molecular characterization of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) genetic resources
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021)
Coffee is one of the most economically important agricultural commodities in the world. Labeling accuracy and conservation efficiency are essential for coffee germplasm management and for the exchange and utilization in ...
Leaf functional traits and pathogens Linking coffee leaf rust with intraspecific trait variation in diversified agroecosystems
(PLOS, 2023-04-13)
Research has demonstrated that intraspecific functional trait variation underpins plant responses to environmental variability. However, few studies have evaluated how trait variation shifts in response to plant pathogens, ...
