  1. The future of coffee and cocoa agroforestry in a warmer Mesoamerica by Sousa, Kauê de, Zonneveld, Maarten van, Holmgren, M., Kindt, Roeland, Ordoñez, J.C.

    Published 2019
    “…Climate change threatens cofee production and the livelihoods of thousands of families in Mesoamerica that depend on it. Replacing cofee with cocoa and integrating trees in combined agroforestry systems to ameliorate abiotic stress are among the proposed alternatives to overcome this challenge. …”

  2. Regional modeling of vegetation and long term runoff for Mesoamerica by Imbach, Pablo, Molina, L., Locatelli, Bruno, Roupsard, O., Ciais, Philippe, Corrales, P., Mahé, Gil

    Published 2010
    “…Regional runoff, evapotranspiration, leaf area index (LAI) and potential vegetation were modeled for Mesoamerica using the SVAT model MAPSS. We calibrated and validated the model after building a comprehensive database of regional runoff, climate, soils and LAI. …”

  7. Climate change and plant dispersal along corridors in fragmented landscapes of Mesoamerica by Imbach, P. A, Locatelli, Bruno, Molina, L.G, Ciais, Philippe, Leadley, P.W.

    Published 2013
    “…This study evaluates the role of BC for facilitating plant dispersal between PA under climate change in Mesoamerica. A spatially explicit dynamic model (cellular automaton) was developed to simulate species dispersal under different climate and conservation policy scenarios. …”
