Investigating the impacts of biochar on water fluxes in a rice experiment in the dry corridor of Central America, Costa Rica

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
How does biochar impact soil water storage? After adding biochar to an upland rice field in Costa Rica, we observed a shift in the soil water retention curves, indicating that rice plants had 2%–7% more water available. The isotopic composition of plant water did not vary with biochar, indicating rice plants likely consumed similar water.

Climbing bean breeding for disease resistance and grain quality traits

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is grown in two growth types, bush and climbing beans. The latter are preferred in several regions in East and Southern African as well as in Latin America (dominant in Rwanda and Colombia), due to higher yields and resilience compared with bush type.

Elevated efficiency of C3 photosynthesis in bamboo grasses: A possible consequence of enhanced refixation of photorespired CO2

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 941-954, June 2021., 2021
We investigate whether three bamboo species from the Brazilian Cerrado exhibit unique adaptations that suppress photorespiratory costs and enhance photosynthetic efficiency. The bamboos exhibited the lowest C* value ever reported for a C3 plant, approaching the values reported for C2 plants.

A Review of Codes and Standards for Bamboo Structural Design

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Bamboo is a strong, fast‐growing, and sustainable material. In modern times, it can be an aesthetically pleasing and low‐cost alternative to more conventional materials. Despite the literature’s consideration of bamboo’s promising potential as a resilient, sustainable building material for structural element design, its application is limited.

A Review on Bamboo Resource in the African Region: A Call for Special Focus and Action

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The African region has untapped bamboo resource potential with immense socioeconomic, cultural, and ecological significances. Despite the long history of bamboo in the region, its contribution is at the infant stage. Therefore, the present study aimed at reviewing the existing literature supported by research experience on bamboo resource in the region.
