Effects of canopy connectivity on the arboreal ant community in coffee shade trees
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1106-1113, November 2023., 2023 We manipulated connectivity between the crowns of large shade trees and found more species and increased compositional similarity in connected crowns. Differences in connectivity in the upper canopy may be important in structuring differences in ant communities in shaded agricultural systems and unmanaged forests.

Soil Use and Management, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 429-440, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The use of biochar is expected to improve soil fertility and close nutrient cycles in degraded strongly weathered tropical soils. We, therefore, hypothesized that biochar amendment to tree plantations (a) increases nutrient fluxes with litterfall alone and with mineral fertilizer plus lime and (b) reduces N losses reflected by lower δ15N ...

Pest categorisation of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae, a clearly defined fungus of the family Botryosphaeriaceae, which was first described in 2008 as a cryptic species within the L. theobromae complex.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1226-1237, September 2022., 2022 Animal‐pollinated plants interact with neighbors for both abiotic resources and pollination, but few studies have compared the relative magnitude of these effects, particularly in agroecosystems. This study evaluated the effects of neighboring plants at three vertical strata (herbs, coffee bushes, and canopy trees) on pollen deposition, fertilization ...

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 86, Issue 4, Page 1072-1085, July/August 2022., 2022 Abstract The application of biochar to strongly weathered soils is thought to supply nutrients and improve nutrient retention. We hypothesized that biochar increases (a) total N, bioavailable macronutrient (NH4–N, P, K, Ca, Mg), micronutrient (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu), and plant‐beneficial Na concentrations; and (b) nutrient retention in the topsoil.

Commodity risk assessment of Juglans regia plants from Turkey
EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021 Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers the plant health risks posed by 2‐year‐old grafted bare rooted plants for ...

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 85, Issue 3, Page 862-878, May/June 2021., 2021 Abstract The literature suggests that biochar increases the fertility of degraded, nutrient‐poor tropical soils. We hypothesized that the addition of biochar (a) increases tree growth in two plantations on Ultisols in the south Ecuadorian Amazon region, (b) reduces litterfall during the dry season because the soil remains moister, and (c) improves the ...
