Biocultural Determinants of Mothers' Complementary Feeding Decisions in the Urban Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

Am J Hum Biol
ABSTRACT Objective Complementary feeding (CF) occurs during a critical period of infant growth and development with life‐long health implications. Despite international efforts, there remains significant variation in the adequacy of complementary diets across settings. In Brazil, there is marked variation in adherence to CF guidelines and infant growth

Herbarium records provide reliable phenology estimates in the understudied tropics

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 327-337, February 2023., 2023
Herbarium specimens are verified to be a vital resource for closing the gap in our phenological knowledge of tropical systems. Tropical plant reproductive phenology inferred from herbarium records are widely congruent with field observations, suggesting that they can and should be used to investigate phenological variation and their associated ...

Byrsonima crassifolia seedlings growth on ground basalt rock

Acta Agronómica, 2021
Ground basalt rock may represent a labile reservoir of nutrients, providing a low-cost, nutrient-rich substrate for seedling formation and plant growth. The study aimed to evaluate the development of a native plant murici [Byrsonima crassifolia (L.) H.B.K.] seedlings using two different application rates of ground basalt rock with two particles sizes ...
