Based on review and critical analysis of the literature regarding the contents and physiological effects of coffee related to physical and cognitive performance conducted by experts in the field and selected members of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), the following conclusions represent the official Position of the Society:(1) Coffee is a complex matrix of hundreds of compounds. These are consumed with broad variability based upon serving size, bean type (e.g.

- * Research from 2013 revealed widespread distribution of pathogenic species within almond nursery systems, including in healthy trees, soils, and even the air in cold-storage facilities.
- * The findings indicate that various sources, including equipment, crops, and asymptomatic tree materials, may be contributing to the spread and severity of the disease.
Loss of water that reduces the relative water content (RWC) of bark can occur during processing, cold storage, and planting of bare-root stone fruit trees. In California nurseries and newly planted orchards, this stress can predispose young almond trees () to a canker disease caused primarily by species. While reduced bark RWC contributes to disease development, anecdotal observations suggest a seasonal effect on host physiology may also influence disease severity.
