Decomposition and phosphorus release of agroforestry shrub residues and the effect on maize yield in acidic soils of Rubona, southern Rwanda
Inclusion of improved forest management as a way to enhance carbon sinks in the Copenhagen Accord of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (December 2009) suggests that forest restoration will play a role in global climate change mitigation under the post-Kyoto agreement. Alth...

Approaches to classifying and restoring degraded tropical forests for the anticipated REDD+ climate change mitigation mechanism
The growing demand for biofuels is promoting the expansion of a number of agricultural commodities, including oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Oil-palm plantations cover over 13 million ha, primarily in Southeast Asia, where they have directly or indirectly replaced tropical rainforest. We explored ...

Biofuel plantations on forested lands: double jeopardy for biodiversity and climate
Biomass and carbon in Terminalia amazonia plantations in the South of Costa Rica. The study was carried out in a spacing trial with an experimental design consisting of randomized complete blocks, with three treatments and three replicates. Treatments were 2 m x 2 m (2500 trees/ha), 2.5 m x 2.5 m...

There are few studies on biomass distribution for Tectona grandis plantations in Costa Rica. This paper reports the distribution of total aboveground biomass of T. grandis and its relationship with diameter at breast height (dbh), age and stand density in plantations across Costa Rica. Foliage, b...

In the present study, prediction equations for biomass were generated from easily measurable parameters such as diameter at breast height (dbh) and total height. Cross validation was carried out between two localities to test whether equations developed for one locality could be used for other lo...

Physiological traits associated with drought resistance in Andean and Mesoamerican genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Terminal drought is a worldwide constraint to common bean production and its negative effects will be increased by climate change. The objective of this research was to characterize phenotypically advanced lines and commercial cultivars of common bean for their resistance to terminal drought stre...
