Biomedical and environmental aspects of some coconut-derived products and their production processes in Sri Lanka [PDF]

, 1998
The coconut palm is said to have been introduced to Sri Lanka over 2300 years ago. Several industries have grown up to process products from this tree.

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Significance of non applied elements in coconut productivity [PDF]

, 1997
A critical evaluation of nutritional factors involved in coconut productivity was carried out during 1991-1994. West coast tall palms aged 25 to 35 years varying in yield from 6-163 nuts per year growing in three locations. viz.

Genomic architecture and breeding trade‐offs of coconut drought tolerance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The coconut palm is an extremely popular and economically important crop, with around 65 million tonnes produced in 2023. Although Africa's coconut sector is growing rapidly, it—and the livelihoods that depend on it—is threatened by climate change, particularly increased drought.

Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.

Coconut husk biochar as a climate-smart soil amendment: optimizing pyrolysis temperature and feedstock cut size for a carbon-rich, waste-derived agricultural input

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Climate change is steadily eroding agricultural productivity through soil degradation, water and salinity stress, and declining nutrient-use efficiency, while the heavy reliance on conventional mineral fertilizers contributes to greenhouse-gas emissions,

Economics of soil moisture conservation in coconut lands using coconut husks and coir dust [PDF]

, 1994
Economic feasibility of soil moisture conservation in coconut production using coconut husks and coir dust was examined in this study. The preliminary data for the study were collected from two trials conducted by the CRI along with the several other ...
