How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict? Mapping the science around climate security
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116463
Abstract
This factsheet gives answers on how global climate research addresses the dynamics between climate, socio-economic factors, and conflict, and how the countries in focus for the Climate Security Observatory are represented in this literature. The analysis has found that while the literature is cognisant of the mechanisms by which climate exacerbates the risk for conflicts, there is still space…

The intricate path of forage technologies in Colombia: An institutional analysis
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116142
Abstract
To increase the productivity of tropical cattle systems and at the same time mitigate the environmental impacts of the cattle sector, a strategy of improving the quality and availability of cattle feed has been implemented through substantial improvements in forage germplasm (Herrero et al., 2013; Gerber et al., 2013; Peters et al., 2012). With this objective, significant resources have been allocated for…

Importance of grazing management in improving water use efficiency of pastures with tropical forage grasses
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115813
Abstract
The growing number of extreme weather events has created the need to identify tropical forage grasses with greater water use efficiency (WUE) to cope with water-limited conditions. WUE can be defined as the ratio of forage biomass produced per unit of water used. However, WUE is a dynamic ratio that changes according to environmental gradients (e.g., water or nutrient availability)…
