Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.

How Does Glucose Addition Affect Net Carbon Balance in Top and Deep Soils in Tropical Rubber‐Based Agroforestry Systems?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The priming effect, which can accelerate or suppress the mineralization of soil organic carbon (SOC), plays an important role in soil carbon cycling. However, the impact of exogenous carbon addition on SOC priming in rubber‐based agroforestry systems remains unclear.
