TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that many tropical agricultural systems can provide both mitigation and adaptation benefits if they are designed and managed appropriately and if the larger land-scape context is considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) and tree biomass carbon in different land uses in Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua were estimated. And the results showed that degraded pastures had significantly lower C stocks compared to improved pastures with trees and forest systems, and that there are good opportunities for C sequestration in agricultural landscapes dominated by cattle.

TL;DR: Agriculture is widely considered the single most important threat to biodiversity conservation and the greatest driver of habitat destruction and change in Central America as mentioned in this paper, and agriculture has had a negative impact on biodiversity conservation primarily through the expansion of the agricultural frontier, at the expense of natural habitat.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of live fences' ecological and agronomic roles from detailed inventories at both farm and landscape scales in four contrasting cattle producing areas of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential contribution of 39 management practices to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EBA) for two important agroecosystems (coffee and basic grains) for smallholders in Central America.
