Patterns of shade plant diversity in four agroforestry systems across Central America: a meta‑analysis
(Nature, 2023-05-26)
Agroforestry systems can potentially increase tree diversity within agricultural landscapes, but to date, there is little understanding of the patterns of shade plant diversity within different agroforestry systems (AFS) ...
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, ...
Effects of agro-forestry systems on the physical and chemical characteristics of green coffee beans
(Frontiers, 2023-07-12)
A study at CATIE, Costa Rica, examined 20 agroforestry systems for coffee plantations, testing different management practices and shade types. Physical and chemical attributes of green coffee beans were analyzed. Full sun ...
