Mapaz: population and environment web mapping for the sustainable Amazon
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/53023
Abstract
Mapaz helps policymakers and scientists target research and development or conservation activities in the Amazon by pulling together information on elements such as deforestation, biomass, species diversity, population, poverty and regional land use. Users can define their own geographic areas or select existing administrative boundaries to get spatial information for that area in the form of maps and tables. For…

Abstract
NGSEP (Next Generation Sequencing Eclipse Plugin), an integrated framework for analysis of high throughput sequencing reads. The main functionality of NGSEP is the variants detector, which allows to make simultaneous discovery of SNVs, indels, and CNVs. NGSEP also provides a user interface for bowtie2 to perform mapping to the reference genome and other utilities such as alignments sorting, merging of variants from different samples, and…

Replication Data for: Tree biodiversity and carbon stocks of different agroforestry systems in Nicaragua
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97761
Abstract
This study was aimed at quantifying the potential short-term impact of agroforestry-based systems on tree diversity and above and belowground carbon stocks in two representative SDTF sites in northern Nicaragua. Five land-use types were compared on 10 different farms across the two sites: Traditional slash–and-burn cropping systems (TCS), traditional pastures systems (TPS), SPS, QSMAS,…

Abstract
These data correspond to the results of the agroclimatic zones of cocoa for the Central America and the Caribbean regions and per country. The data make reference to the ideal zones for cocoa production in three different periods of time (baseline 1970-2000, 2020 - 2049, 2040 - 2069), which allows us to know what would be the impact of climate change for the crop, and therefore,…

Abstract
Digital soil property maps were generated at 30 meters resolution for the West of Honduras in order to develop the AGRI v.1 tool (Monserrate et al., 2016). AGRI (from its Spanish words AGua para RIego) is a tool that combines information about climate, relief, soils, land cover, and hydrology to identify suitable water sources for implementing small irrigation projects. The soil properties mapped were sand (%),…
