Using remote analysis to study the influence of landscape on biodiversity in agroforestry systems
Conserving biodiversity in regenerative agroforestry systems depends not only on the management practices within a plot, but also on the surrounding natural and human-generated habitats. In agricultural systems, more heterogeneous landscapes, i.e. with more diversity of habitats and land use, may have a greater richness of fauna and…

Stable isotope composition of long and short term carbon pools can screen drought tolerance in cassava
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/168932
Abstract
Leaf carbon isotope composition (δ13C) is a promising trait for assessing genotypic differences in responses to environmental stress, particularly drought. Despite its potential, comprehensive evaluations of δ13C across
various carbohydrate pools and leaf positions, in comparison with other traits, are still lacking for cassava (Manihot esculenta). This study aimed to estimate the…
