Mineral nutrition studies of coffee trees XXX: sand culture tecnique for growing coffee trees

, 1974
No intuito de cultivar o cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.) em solução nutritiva foi idealizado um sistema automático, utilizando como substrato quartzo moido e solução nutritiva. O sistema foi construído de modo a necessitar o mínimo de mão de obra para manutenção, aliado a um baixo custo de construção (Cr$ 25.000,00).

Dental Stigmata and Skeletal Lesions of Congenital Treponematosis in Early Agricultural Vietnam (4000–3500 bp)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior research has documented treponematosis at a single site in Mainland Southeast Asia from northern Vietnam dated to the early agricultural transition (~4000–3500 bp). To date, no other cases in Southeast Asia's prehistory have been identified.

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Effects of native and non-native shade trees on insect predation pressure on Kenyan coffee farms

Frontiers in Conservation Science
IntroductionAgroecosystem practices that aim to increase biodiversity and ecosystem services have the potential to benefit both wildlife and farmers. Shade-coffee systems are well-studied in the Neotropics, but less is known about the relationships among

How can ecosystem services scenarios inform forest planning?—Seven lessons from Leanachan Forest, Scotland

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There are growing societal expectations that forests are managed for multiple benefits including carbon storage, biodiversity, health and recreation. Consequently, forest managers are increasingly expected to consider how external factors, including climate change, affect the future of their forests and the wider public benefits they provide ...
