Ecosystem services by birds and bees to coffee in a changing climate: A review of coffee berry borer control and pollination (2019, background): “First, shaded coffee systems could improve resilience of coffee crops themselves to extreme climate events, by reducing ambient surface temperatures, decreasing runoff and erosion, protecting plants from high solar radiation, wind, heavy rain and pest attacks (Beer et al., 1998; Perfecto et al., 200”
Shade is conducive to coffee rust as compared to full sun exposure under standardized fruit load conditions (2012, background): “In the warm region of the study, high air and leaf temperatures were reduced by shade, as expected (Barradas and Fanjul, 1986; Jaramillo-Robledo and Gómez-Gómez, 1989; Siles et al., 2010).”
