Reduced Diversity and Complexity in the Leaf‐Litter Ant Assemblage of Colombian Coffee Plantations (2005, background): “Although many farmers and extension agents cite yield increases to justify intensification of coffee farms, available data suggest that maximum yield may occur between 40–50% (Soto-Pinto et al. 2000) or even up to 65% shade cover (Staver et al. 2001).”
Shade is conducive to coffee rust as compared to full sun exposure under standardized fruit load conditions (2012, background): “Shade trees provide multiple services in coffee agroforestry systems and can help to naturally reduce several coffee pests and diseases via different pathways (Beer et al., 1998; Schroth et al., 2000; Staver et al., 2001; Ratnadass et al., 2011).”
A Review of Ecosystem Services, Farmer Livelihoods, and Value Chains in Shade Coffee Agroecosystems (2011, background): “Furthermore, as a result of government incentives and desires to increase yields, farmers have gradually removed or reduced shade cover assuming that higher light and more dense cropping patterns lead to higher yields (Staver et al. 2001).”
Shaded Coffee and Cocoa : Double Dividend for Biodiversity and Small-scale Farmers (2017, background): “Even though there are only few studies directly linking biodiversity performance and financial performance, there are indications that shaded systems potentially combine increases in both types of performance (Somarriba and Beer, 2010; Staver et al., 2001).”
Effects of Inga densiflora on the microclimate of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) and overall biomass under optimal growing conditions in Costa Rica (2010, background): “Furthermore, the transmitted light was probably partially depleted in red wavelengths affecting the SLA and architecture of the under-story plants as documented by Staver et al. (2001).”
Biodiversity, yield, and shade coffee certification (2005, background): “Others show no difference between moderate shade and no shade (Muschler, 1997, 1998; Baggio et al., 1997; Hernández et al., 1997), while others show a bhump shapedQ relationship (Escalante, 1995; Soto-Pinto et al., 2000; Staver et al., 2001).”
Agronomic and economic benefits of coffee-banana intercropping in Uganda's smallholder farming systems (2011, unknown): “…with agroforestry or fruit trees have documented the possible benefits of shade on coffee yields (e.g. Gaie and Flémal, 1988; Beer et al., 1998; Staver et al., 2001) and quality of coffee beans (Muschler, 2001; Vaast et al., 2005), it is possible that use of banana as a shade crop in coffee…”
Diversification Practices: Their Effect on Pest Regulation and Production (2008, unknown): “…serious ecological problems such as water contamination, habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity (Matson et al. 1997 ; Krebs et al. 1999; Staver et al. 2001; Tilman et al. 2002) with the concomitant loss of ecological functions such as pollination and biological control (Kruess and…”
