Contrasted agronomical and physiological responses of five genotypes under soil water deficit in field conditions.

Introduction: Breeding programs have developed high-yielding Coffea arabica F1-hybrids as an adaptation against adverse conditions associated with climate change. However, theresponse to drought of coffee F1 hybrids has seldom been assessed.

Methods: A trial was established with five C.

Navigating the science policy interface: a co-created mind-map to support early career research contributions to policy-relevant evidence.

The interface between science and policy is a complex space, in theory and practice, that sees the interaction of various actors and perspectives coming together to enable policy-relevant evidence to support decision-making. Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are increasingly interested in working at the science-policy interface to support evidence-informed policy, with the number of opportunities to do so increasing at national and international levels. However, there are still many challenges limiting ECRs participation, not least how such a complex space can be accessed and navigated.

Phytoremediation of chloride from marine dredged sediments: A new model based on a natural vegetation recolonization.

Phytoremediation is a type of bioremediation process that involves the use of plants to remove or degrade contaminants from soil, water, or air. In most of the observed phytoremediation models, plants are introduced and planted on a polluted site to take up, absorb, or transform contaminants. This study aims to explore a new mixed phytoremediation approach that involves natural recolonization of a contaminated substrate, by identifying the species growing naturally, their bioaccumulation capacity, and by modeling annual mowing cycles of their aerial parts.

Genetic-environment interactions and climatic variables effect on bean physical characteristics and chemical composition of Coffea arabica.

Background: The effects of the environment and genotype in the coffee bean chemical composition were studied using nine trials covering an altitudinal gradient [600-1100 m above sea level (a.s.l.
