Genetic diversity of the rain tree (Albizia saman) in Colombian seasonally dry tropical forest for informing conservation and restoration interventions by Aguirre‐Morales, Carolina Adriana, Thomas, Evert, Cardozo, Carlos Ivan, Gutiérrez Artunduaga, Janneth Patricia, Alcázar Caicedo, Carolina, Moscoso Higuita, Luis Gonzalo, Becerra López Lavelle, Luis Augusto, González, Maylin Adriana

“…The current distribution and mixture of genetic groups across STDF fragments we observed might be the result of range expansion of SDTFs during the last glacial period followed by range contraction during the Holocene and human‐influenced movement of germplasm associated with cattle ranching. Despite the fragmented state of the presumed natural A. saman stands we sampled, we did not find any signs of inbreeding, suggesting that gene flow is not jeopardized in humanized landscapes. …”

Agronomic evaluation of 25 accessions of Clitoria ternatea in time of maximum and minimum rainfall in Colombia by Sotelo, Mauricio E., Peters, Michael, Arango, Jacobo, Cardoso Arango, Juan Andrés

“…Most of this area is in extensive grazing systems under native pastures that, although of good nutritional quality, have a limited supply of forage, especially in few critical areas. This has caused cattle ranching to become a seasonal activity in the tropics, since in periods of low rainfall, ranchers struggle so that their animals do not lose weight and, in the worst case, because they do not die. …”

Linking potential biodiversity and three ecosystem services in silvopastoral managed forest landscapes of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina by Martínez Pastur, Guillermo José, Peri, Pablo Luis, Huertas Herrera, Alejandro, Schindler, Stefan, Díaz Delgado, Ricardo, Lencinas, María Vanessa, Soler Esteban, Rosina Matilde

“…The objective was to determine relationships between potential biodiversity and three ES in Patagonia where cattle ranching under silvopastoral use occurs.
