Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Smartphone‐Based Monitoring Identifies the Importance of Farm Size and Soil Type for Coffee Tree Productivity at a Large Geographic Scale

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Smartphone‐based monitoring has been increasingly applied to coffee crops for multiple tasks, such as predicting coffee tree productivity. However, its implementation remains limited to small‐scale use, typically at the individual plant level.

THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF COFFEE ARABICA IN SHADE CONDITIONS ON DIFFERENT TREATMENT OF PRUNING AND FERTILIZING [PDF]

Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2020
Coffee plants are C3 plant groups, with characteristic of low photosynthetic efficiency, which is due to the occurrence of photorespiration. In simple agroforestry systems, legumes are commonly used as shade trees.

Using the MAESTRA model to simulate light interactions and photosynthesis in a heterogeneous agroforestry system under alternative density [PDF]

, 2012
Coffee-based agroforestry systems display two heterogeneous plant layers (shade tree and coffee) both discontinuous, uneven-aged and subjected to sequential pruning. Many field experiments in coffee agroforestry research have been implemented to evaluate

NanoLoop: A Deep Learning Framework Leveraging Nanopore Sequencing for Chromatin Loop Prediction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chromatin loops are central to gene regulation and 3D genome organization. Leveraging Nanopore sequencing's ability to jointly capture DNA sequence and methylation, we present NanoLoop, the first framework for genome‐wide chromatin loop prediction using Nanopore data.

Coffee berry borer triple-action integrated pest management [PDF]

, 2009
In coffee plantations, some of the coffee berry borer (#Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari#) females emerging from residual fruits survive by taking refuge in dry fruits remaining on the branches.

Different sources of phosphorus in coffee tree formation

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia de Biossistemas, 2022
Arabica coffee is one of the main crops in Brazil and requires balanced nutrition. Among the nutrients, phosphorus is essential in planting so that seedlings can be successful in the after transplanting, allowing a good development and growth. The use of quality seedlings and balanced fertilization is essential for this, however, Brazilian soils, due ...

Current Landscape: Use of Supercritical CO2 in the Wood Industry

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The application of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to successfully dewater as well as extract resin from wood is becoming increasingly popular due to its greener and less energy‐intensive approach. With world focus shifting to developing methods with greater efficiency while decreasing harm to the environment, scCO2 applications have begun to set ...

Trade-offs among ecosystem services and productivity in coffee-based agroforestry systems in Nicaragua [PDF]

, 2019
Many studies have measured biodiversity loss across the coffee intensification gradient; some studies have shown, with contradictory results, the trade-offs between biodiversity loss and coffee production increments.
