Cacao grafting increases crop yield without compromising biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 579-592, March 2025.
Grafting is a successful approach for rejuvenating old, unproductive cacao trees, enhancing smallholder income opportunities and thus reducing pressure for new deforestation‐based plantations. Grafting briefly reduced arthropod abundance and diversity, but recovered in a short time.

The role of wild palms in agroforestry systems in the Neotropics: A review

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2200-2227, December 2024.
Abstract Wild palms are among the most important plants in the Neotropics due to their wide distribution, species richness and cultural relevance for humans. In addition to their presence in forests, these plants also occur in anthropogenic systems throughout their range of distribution, but their role in these systems is often overlooked.

Fijación de carbono en sistemas agroforestales gestionados por pequeños productores de los Andes del Ecuador

Bosques Latitud Cero, 2021
Los ecosistemas de montaña son extremadamente vulnerables al cambio climático, razón por la cual se encuentran particularmente en riesgo las poblaciones de montaña que dependen de la actividad agrícola y ganadera.

Macrofauna edáfica asociada con sistemas agroforestales en la Amazonía Colombiana [PDF]

, 2015
La densidad, riqueza y diversidad de la macrofauna edáfica son afectadas, entre otros factores, por la configuración de los agroecosistemas y la estacionalidad de la precipitación.

Linking landscape structure, floral resource distribution, pollen use and movement distances of a generalist predator

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2798-2808, November 2024.
Our findings suggest that the spatial distribution of flowering wild plants can inform movement patterns of lacewings and other flower‐visiting insects in agricultural landscapes. In addition, the location of floral resources in the landscape is important for its capacity to sustain natural enemies. Given the strong reliance of lacewings on pollen from

Incidencia de las enfermedades foliares en los sistemas agroforestales de Yurimaguas, Perú

Peruvian Journal of Agronomy, 2022
Un sistema agroforestal (SAF) se caracteriza por tener una diversidad de componentes como especies forestales maderables y no maderables, así como cultivos, pastos o un sistema de producción ganadera.

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

REMINERALIZADORES DE SUELOS Y SISTEMAS AGROFORESTALES

Revista Agroecología, 2023
Los sistemas agroforestales (SAFs) se muestran como una opción viable para garantizar la producción de alimentos de forma más sustentable. Para potenciar este tipo de sistema de producción, el uso de remineralizadores de suelos (harina/polvo de rocas silicatadas) (REM) puede ampliar la oferta de nutrientes y facilitar el desarrollo de las especies ...

Regional differences of functional and taxonomic bird diversity in tropical agroforests of Peru

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2024.
We studied changes in the functional and taxonomic dissimilarity of bird communities in cacao agroforests and adjacent forests in two landscapes dominated by different forest types (dry tropical forest and subtropical rainforest). We found that the functional traits that are most vulnerable to disappear in agroforests at increasing distance from forest
