Macroeconomic impacts of climate change mitigation in Latin America: A cross-model comparison
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/76301
Abstract
In this paper we analyse macroeconomic consequences of greenhouse gas emission mitigation in Latin America up to 2050 through a multi-model comparison approach undertaken in the context of the CLIMACAP–LAMP research project. We compare two carbon tax scenarios with a business-as-usual scenario of anticipated future energy…

Genotypic differences in symbiotic nitrogen fixation ability and seed yield of climbing bean
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/92514
Abstract
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) contributes to improve grain yield under nitrogen (N) deficiency. Climbing beans are known to be superior to bush beans in their potential for SNF. The main objectives of this study were to: (i) quantify genotypic differences in SNF ability of climbing beans using 15N natural abundance method…

Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming systems to support innovation and development
Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice)
Abstract
African farming systems are highly heterogeneous: between agroecological and socioeconomic environments, in the wide variability in farmers? resource endowments and in farm management. This means that single solutions (or ?silver bullets?) for improving farm productivity do not exist. Yet to date few approaches to understand…
