What motivates West African cocoa farmers to value trees? Taking the 4 W approach to the heart of the field

People and Nature
West Africa, the largest cocoa‐producing region globally, has experienced significant deforestation in recent decades, leading countries to implement large‐scale agroforestry policies; however, most studies on farmers' adoption of agroforestry fail to ...

Adsorption of fluoride ions on hydroxyapatite-modified Corbula trigona shell waste: Effect of coexisting anions, temperature and regeneration [PDF]

Journal of Chemistry Letters, 2023
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) synthesized using Corbula trigona shell powder (CTSP) in the presence of 0.3 mol/L phosphoric acid solution was used to evaluate the influence of some parameters such as coexisting anions, temperature and regeneration.

High intraspecific growth variability despite strong evolutionary legacy in an Amazonian forest

Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 12, Page 2135-2146, December 2023., 2023
Based on 36 years of diameter surveys for 7961 trees of 138 species, we found the greatest variation in growth between individuals within the same species in an Amazonian forest, although taxonomy explained a third of the variation. Species growth was conserved up to the genus and predicted by root, wood and leaf traits.

Thresholds for persistent leaf photochemical damage predict plant drought resilience in a tropical rainforest

New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 2, Page 576-591, July 2023., 2023
Summary Water stress can cause declines in plant function that persist after rehydration. Recent work has defined ‘resilience’ traits characterizing leaf resistance to persistent damage from drought, but whether these traits predict resilience in whole‐plant function is unknown.

Analysis of Land Use Change in the N'ZI Watershed of Côte d'Ivoire Using Landsat Satellite Images

Earth and Space Science, 2023
Uncontrolled population growth and strong industrialization are enormous pressures on natural resources. To monitor land use changes in the N'ZI watershed, remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) were used from three satellite images ...

Multiplane Image Restoration Using Multivariate Curve Resolution: An Alternative Approach to Deconvolution in Conventional Brightfield Microscopy

Photonics, 2023
Three-dimensional reconstruction in brightfield microscopy is challenging since a 2D image includes from in-focus and out-of-focus light which removes the details of the specimen’s structures.

Evolution of shrinkage, real density, porosity, heat and mass transfer coefficients during indirect solar drying of cocoa beans

Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Drying is a main process of conservation used for cocoa beans and it is so essential to control its drying parameters. In this study, shrinkage, density, porosity, and heat and mass transfer coefficients of cocoa beans during indirect solar drying were ...

Valuation of cashew nut shell for the production of biofuel

Energy Reports, 2022
The valuation of CNSL (cashew nut shell liquid), a by-product of the cashew nut sector, could be a solution to improve access to energy in sub-Saharan Africa. This work aimed by studying the valuation of CNSL for its use in a generator mixing with diesel.
