Effects of copal resin extraction on the diversity and composition of species in tropical deciduous forests [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Composition and floristic diversity of ecosystems subject to overexploitation, such as tropical deciduous forests where copal resin (Bursera bipinnata, Bursera copallifera) is extracted, are of great importance for understanding the ecological ...

Impact of cocoa agricultural intensification on bird diversity and community composition. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract To meet the growing demand for chocolate, cocoa (Theobroma cacao) agriculture is expanding and intensifying. Although this threatens tropical forests, cocoa sustainability initiatives largely overlook biodiversity conservation. To inform these initiatives, we analyzed how cocoa agriculture affects bird diversity at farm and landscape scales ...

Combining spaceborne lidar from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation with local knowledge for monitoring fragmented tropical landscapes: A case study in the forest-agriculture interface of Ucayali, Peru. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We employed a co‐production approach leveraging spaceborne lidar and local knowledge to investigate the structural characteristics of the forest‐agriculture interface in Ucayali, Peru. Results indicated higher relative height ratios (RH50/RH95 and RH75/RH95) for mature forest compared to secondary forest (p < .0001), even after accounting for the ...

Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Cacao in Honduras is cultivated under traditional shade tree species (Inga sp., Erythrina sp., Gliricidia sp.), fruit and timber species deliberately planted or selected and managed from natural regeneration.

From the ground up: Patterns and perceptions of herbaceous diversity in organic coffee agroecosystems

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 3, July–September 2022., 2022
Smallholder farms that transition to organic and biodiverse production are increasingly recognized as strongholds of agrobiodiversity. Yet the emergent herbaceous communities in these organic systems remain understudied, with the functional diversity and management of this stratum relatively unknown.

Precipitation is the key determinant of topsoil δ15N values in southern Patagonia's semiarid rangelands

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2022., 2022
Abstract Nitrogen (N) cycling in rangeland soils could potentially be controlled by water supply, stocking rates, or a range of other variables, such as ecosystem N stocks. To gauge the relative importance and elucidate possible interactions among these factors, we measured many abiotic variables to identify first‐order controls of δ15N for Patagonia's

Los encinos de San Juan Bautista, Coixtlahuaca, Oaxaca, elementos para una agroforestería pecuaria sustentable

AIA Avances en Investigación Agropecuaria, 2021
Dentro de la familia Fagaceae, el género quercus es el de mayor distribución en el mundo. Hay dos centros de diversidad para el género. El primero se encuentra en el sudeste asiático, el segundo en México (Martínez, 1981). De las 450 especies estimadas a
