This survey aimed to acquire and generate significant information on coffee cultivation in high and low elevations to support agriculture during climate change. This survey dataset helps understand coffee cultivation in highland and lowland areas with diverse climates and environmental conditions for coffee researchers to use this data to improve cultivation and production techniques. In the business scope, this dataset provides a critical vision on the value proposition of the coffee business to maintain conservation and wealth creation of the coffee chain. Similarly, coffee chains can use this data as an example to assess sustainability and carbon literacy. The structured interviews and field trips were conducted at coffee plantations in southern and northern Thailand. The transcript results were manually coded for thematic analysis. This dataset offers insights into anthropogenic plant migration and plant distribution for researchers and academics to use as a valuable resource and good reference in agricultural and biodiversity research. Today, agriculture faces many challenges, such as climate change, water shortage, and improper land management. This information on coffee cultivation at high and low altitudes may help others grow crops in ever-changing climates.

The study aimed to explore the potential use of coal-fired power plant bottom ashes in Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation using spent coffee grounds. The study analyzed five compositions of growth substrate for mushrooms: pure coffee grounds (I) as a control sample; coffee grounds substrate with the addition of 1% (II); 5% (III); 10% (IV) bottom ash; and bottom ash alone (V). The study revealed that compared to the control sample (I), the addition of 1% bottom ash (II) did not affect the time of mycelium growth but slowed fruiting body growth by 4 days.

Objective: To explore medical students' perceptions and experiences regarding the surgery clerkship and surgeons.
Design: Between November 2021 and February 2022, an anonymous prepost survey study was performed among 2 consecutive cohorts of medical students. The survey was taken 6 weeks prior to the surgery clerkship and repeated shortly after the surgery clerkship.

Introduction: Secondary forests and coffee cultivation systems with shade trees might have great potential for carbon sequestration as a means of climate change adaptation and mitigation. This study aimed to measure carbon stocks in coffee plantations under different managements and secondary forest systems in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest (San Martín Region).
Methods: The carbon stock in secondary forest trees was estimated using allometric equations, while carbon stocks in soil, herbaceous biomass, and leaf litter were determined through sampling and laboratory analysis.
Land use conversion from natural forests to grassland, plantation forests, mono-cropping coffee and croplands is a significant causes of soil degradation, leading to aggravate soil acidity and nutrient depletion. However, there is limited information regarding comprehensive effect of land use conversion on soil fertility and acidity in western Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Hence, this study aims to assess the surface soil fertility and acidity across different land use types (forest, crop, eucalyptus land, grazing land, and coffee farmland) to provide management options.

The species complex (FLSC) currently comprises 11 phylogenetic species, including accepted names such as , , and , which have mostly been reported in association with citrus and coffee. Many varieties were documented by Wollenweber & Reinking (1935), which is indicative of a wider diversity of species within this group. The lack of type material in some cases, especially for the older names, means that definition by molecular phylogeny is very difficult.
