Background and aims Agroforestry systems combining trees with crops or pastures have
been widely used to reduce water, soil, and nutrient losses and associated water pollution …

Coffee is one of the most important tropical crops on earth, considering both its gross
production value and the number of families that depend on it for their livelihoods. Coffee …

Climate models predict that the frequency, intensity and duration of drought events will
increase in tropical regions. Although water withdrawal from deep soil layers is generally …

Agroforestry systems provide diverse ecosystem services that contribute to farmer
livelihoods and the conservation of natural resources. Despite these known benefits, there is …

In agroforestry systems, shade trees strongly affect the physiology of the undergrown crop.
However, a major paradigm is that the reduction in absorbed photosynthetically active …

We tested the hypothesis that trees have measurable effects on infiltrability, macroporosity,
and preferential flows in agrosilvopastoral systems. Managing agricultural systems for water …

Scalable indicators are promising to assess ecosystem services. In a large (660 ha) coffee
agroforestry farm, we calibrated the relationship between the Normalized Difference …

The frequency and severity of global drought-induced impacts have led to raising
awareness of the need for improved river management. Although academic publications on …

The agroforestry systems are a potential pathway to improve soil quality and protect against
extreme temperatures that negatively impact coffee growth. However, more studies about …

Assessment of crop loss due to multiple diseases and pests (D&P) is a necessary step in
designing sustainable crop management systems. Understanding the drivers of D&P …
