Structural and functional responses of coffee trees to elevated [CO2]
Air [CO2] tends to increase due to climate changes, affecting plant growth. Field-grown Coffea arabica trees were grown under actual and elevated [CO2] for four years. Rakocevic et al. find that elevated [CO2]...
Deep root biomass and bNPP of a coffee agroforestry system in Costa Rica
Costa Rican coffee (Coffea arabica) plants are often grown in agroforests. Studying the relationship between shade-inducing trees on coffee plant biomass and root competition in the topsoil, and overall belowground net...
