Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Forest cover predicted coffee yields despite regional variation in soil, climate and management.
- Association Forest cover around fields predicted coffee yields better than municipality forest cover.
- Association The positive forest cover effect on yields was stronger for Coffea canephora than Coffea arabica.
- Association Coffee yields were highest near forest fragments in landscapes with more than 20% forest cover.
- Association Increasing crop area was associated with higher yield, mainly in municipalities with high forest cover.
- Association Irrigation, pesticide use, organic manure and honeybee density had little importance for yield prediction compared with landscape structure.
- Association Climate and topography were less relevant than forest cover for predicting coffee yields.
- Recommendation The authors recommend interspersing coffee fields with forest remnants to support ecosystem services and productivity.
