Global coordination of wheat sowing: A possible policy against climate variability
World Food Policy, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 6-27, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Through an analysis of the sowing and harvesting times across all the regions of a tailored‐for‐wheat world geographic partition, we assess the temporal possibility of modifying the acreage of wheat crops in some regions in an attempt to offset the change in production caused by the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the others.

Mauritia flexuosa fruit production increases with increasing palm height in the Peruvian Amazon
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 599-604, November 2022., 2022 Fruit number, size, and allometric relationships were evaluated in the Peruvian Amazon for Mauritia flexuosa, a socioeconomically important palm with conservation concerns due to destructive harvest. Significant relationships were found between total fruit number and both palm height and fruit volume. Taller palms experience more crown illumination and

Pollination by bats enhances both quality and yield of a major cash crop in Mexico
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 450-459, March 2020., 2020 Our study shows that bats provide a vital ecosystem service by pollinating a crop of major socio‐economic importance, and that consideration of both crop quality and yield are essential to fully understanding the benefits of bat pollination. A reduction of this service would result in a decrease in both the size and quality of the harvest, causing ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 194-206, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Stand structure develops with stand age. Old‐growth forests with well‐developed stand structure support many species. However, development rates of stand structure likely vary with climate and topography. We modeled structural development of 4 key stand variables and a composite old‐growth index as functions of climatic and topographic ...
