Disentangling shade effects for cacao pest and disease regulation in the Peruvian Amazonia
There has been substantial research on shade in cacao agroforestry systems, with most studies focusing on the impact of the shade cast by the...

Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems
An estimated 3.4 million hectares of cocoa and 9.7 million hectares of coffee are cultivated, globally, under shade trees, i.e. in agroforestry...

ShadeMotion: tree shade patterns in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems
Shade trees in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems provide valuable livelihoods and other ecosystem services. Unfortunately, most shade canopies...

Shade affects magnitude and tactics of juvenile Chinook salmon antipredator behavior in the migration corridor
Environmental conditions strongly affect antipredator behaviors; however, it is less known how migrating prey adjust antipredator behavior in...

Impact of shade and tree root pruning on soil water content and crop yield of winter cereals in a Mediterranean alley crop** system
Pruning tree roots in alley crop** systems (ACS) could reduce underground competition and thus increase crop productivity. However, these...

Microclimatic variations in cocoa-based agroforestry systems affect citrus Phytophthora foot rot disease intensity
Pathogen dynamics in agroforestry systems result from several mechanisms and interactions whose independent effects are difficult to delineate. In...

Assessment of the ground coverage ratio of agrivoltaic systems as a proxy for potential crop productivity
The yield of crops in both agrivoltaic (AV) and agroforestry (AF) systems is difficult to predict. The shade pattern of an AV system is not typical...

In vitro antifungal activity screening of beach-cast seaweeds collected in Yucatan, Mexico
The use of natural products in fungal disease control is an approach to reduce the negative impact of synthetic fungicides in agriculture and the...

Metagenomic analysis reveals the effect of revegetation types on the function of soil microorganisms in carbon and nitrogen metabolism in the open-cast mining area
AimsVegetation type is one of the most important contributing factors to changes in soil properties during the rehabilitation of mining areas....

Subcanopy light availability, crop yields, and managerial implications: a systematic review of the shaded crop** systems in the tropics
Agroforestry systems (AFS) represent combinations of trees, arable crops, and/or pastures. Being assemblages of diverse life-forms, they exhibit...

Vegetation responses to pathogen-induced tree loss: Swedish elm and ash forests revisited after 32 years
Invasive fungal pathogens are an increasing problem globally and can cause strong effects on forest ecosystems. In this study, we contrast vegetation...

Shade in Tea Plantations: A New Dimension with an Agroforestry Approach for a Climate-Smart Agricultural Landscape System
Tea is considered as a shade-loving plant. Hence, tea thrives best in a system where it is grown under a canopy of shade trees. Many species of shade...

Effects of light transmittance on growth and biomass of understory seedlings in mixed pine-beech forests
Seedling growth as well as aboveground and belowground biomass allocation is mostly influenced by Light Transmittance (LT) (%) through the canopy....

Forest degradation drives widespread avian habitat and population declines
In many regions of the world, forest management has reduced old forest and simplified forest structure and composition. We hypothesized that such...

Exploration of microbial communities in the guts and casts of Eudrilus eugeniae, Perionyx excavatus, and Eisenia fetida
Earthworms and their casts have been widely used for organic waste degradation and plant growth promotion. The microbial communities that reside in...

Forage nutritive value of Marandu palisade grass under clip** in a silvopastoral system
Canopy adaptation to shade can make forage nutritive value in a silvopastoral system similar or even greater than of open pasture. Our objective was...

Causal agents of current season needle necrosis on Trojan Fir (Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani) growing in the Aladağ mountain range in Bolu Province
In the spring of 2021, Current Season Needle Necrosis (CSNN) symptoms were observed on about 60% of the needles together with needle cast on Trojan...
