Global gradients of coral exposure to environmental stresses and implications for local management
Background The decline of coral reefs globally underscores the need for a spatial
assessment of their exposure to multiple environmental stressors to estimate vulnerability …

Microclimate estimation under different coffee-based agroforestry systems using full-sun weather data and shade tree characteristics
Abstract In Central America, coffee is mainly grown in agroforestry systems. This practice
modifies the microclimate, which, in turn, influences coffee growth and development …
