Canopy tree preference by insectivorous birds in shade‐coffee farms: Implications for migratory bird conservation

Biotropica, 2019
Land converted to coffee agriculture occupies >5 million hectares of what was once prime overwintering natural habitat in the American Neotropics for migrating birds. When tree canopy is retained or restored (i.e., shade‐grown), coffee farms can serve as

Tree longevity drives conservation value of shade coffee farms for vascular epiphytes

, 2020
Forest loss and fragmentation threaten the high diversity of tropical forests. Tropical epiphytes are a key component of plant diversity and significant for ecosystem functioning, and they are vulnerable to these forces.

Native coffee agroforestry in the Western Ghats of India maintains higher carbon storage and tree diversity compared to exotic agroforestry

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2018
The ongoing introduction of the exotic Grevillea robusta tree species into agroforestry systems (AFS) of the Indian Western Ghats could become a threat to both climate change mitigation and tree diversity conservation.

Genetically modified coffee trees resistant to the coffee leaf miner, Perileucoptera coffeella

1999
A synthetic version of the Bacillus thuringiensis cry1Ac gene was used in transformation of coffee species (Coffea canephora and Coffea arabica) to confer resistance to an important pest in South America and East Africa, the coffee leaf miner (Perileucoptera coffeella and other Leucoptera spp.).

DNA Markers for Coffee Tree Breeding

2000
Coffee cultivation in the world has benefited greatly from the successful breeding programmes, which have given the farmers productive cultivars adapted to specific cropping conditions. For example, presently in Brazil the improved arabica coffee cultivars (Coffea arabica L.) produces three to four times more than the cultivars used in the past ...

SHADE TREES OF COFFEE IN HARERGE, EASTERN ETHIOPIA

International Tree Crops Journal, 1991
SUMMARY Seven coffee (C. arabica) producing provinces (awrajas) in the Harerge administrative region were surveyed to identify shade trees used by farmers in coffee plantations. Fourteen permanent shade species and three temporary shade species were recorded.

Accumulation of Macronutrients for the Conilon Coffee Tree

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2007
ABSTRACT Besides its importance in Brazil, little information exists about the mineral nutrition of the Conilon coffee-tree. As a mean of characterizing its macronutrients accumulation an experiment was performed using the clone no. 2 of the clonal composite EMCAPA 8111.
