Woody plant diversity and structure of shade-grown-coffee plantations in northern Chiapas, Mexico.
Shade-grown coffee is an agricultural system that contains some forest-like characteristics. However, structure and diversity are poorly known in shade coffee systems. In 61 coffee-growers' plots of Chiapas, Mexico, structural variables of shade vegetation and coffee yields were measured, recording species and their use. Coffee stands had five vegetation strata. Seventy seven woody species most...

Studies have shown higher species richness in shade-grown coffee than sun, however, effects on bird species of conservation concern are not clear. This study uses two international conservation lists produced by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) ...
متن کاملGetting it for Free: Using Google Earth and ILWIS to Map Squatter Settlements in Johannesburg
The mapping of squatter settlements has been a difficult task for geographers (Manoj, 2008). This is due to the dynamic nature of the settlement and the organic growth that these types of settlements take on (Brian, and Ranvinder, 1995). It has proven extremely difficult to accurately map individual households in these settlements and even boundary discernment can be difficult. These issues of ...
متن کاملInvestigating and Assessing Soil's Texture and Density in Different Land Uses Via Google Earth Engine System
Introduction: Awareness of soil quality in agricultural lands and natural resources is essential to achieve maximum production and environmental sustainability. Although soil quality is not directly assessed, soil quality indicators are widely used today, including the physical indicators which are of great importance in measuring the soil quality, as they directly influence the plant growth an...
