“…Pérez-Rodríguez et al (2021) reported this order as the most abundant in a study of five streams in the protected area of native species in the Serranía de la Macuira, Colombia; similarly, Urdanigo et al (2019) reported that this order was the most abundant in the stream with secondary native forest. The order Hemiptera was the most abundant in the stream with agricultural cover with 32 %; however, in coffee crop cover in Colombia, abundance levels of 2.6 % of the order Hemiptera were observed due to the low prevalence of the species Pontoscolex corethrurus (Annelida: Oligochaeta), which prevents further growth of the taxonomic group (Rojas-Múnera et al, 2021).…”

Agricultural activities produce changes in the margins of the stream banks, causing disturbances in water quality, and in the assemblage of aquatic insect communities. The objective of this research is to evaluate the changes in the structure and composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community, and physicochemical variables in relation to the land use of the Guapara river, Cotopaxi province, Ecuador. Samplings were conducted during the rainy season (December to February 2018-2019) in three streams with different riparian cover: agricultural, native forest, and forest plantations, where samples of aquatic insects and physicochemical parameters were collected in situ. A total of 461 aquatic insects corresponding to 7 orders and 25 families were collected. In general, the highest abundance in order and family was presented by Ephemeroptera with 34 %, and Leptophlebiidae with 21 % respectively. According to the Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera Trichoptera (EPT) index, the highest ecological condition was found in streams with native forest cover, and forest plantations respectively, and decreased in the stream with agricultural cover; while BMWP-Cr indicated water contamination in the three streams. Hydrobiosidae (Trichoptera) were associated with high turbidity values; while Gerridae (Hemiptera) were associated with high dissolved oxygen concentrations; in addition, Ptilodactylidae (Coleoptera) preferred the Q1-CA, and Q3-CF conditions, while Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera) were associated with the stream of native forest. A negative influence of agricultural activity on the physicochemical parameters of the water and on the structure of the aquatic insect community assemblage was evidenced.

“…The main concerns due to climate change are the alteration of biodiversity and wildlife distribution, which translates into the reduction of available spaces for agriculture, and therefore a production crisis that impacts severely the smallholders (Rojas-Múnera et al. 2021 ). With climate change, the coffee farmers’ behavior is to shift their cultivation to other areas and it will cause deforestation, land degradation, drought, and flood, destroy of germplasm, and water bodies deterioration (Hameed et al.…”

The coffee quality is affected by 40% pre-harvest, 40% post-harvest, and 20% export handling. Besides, future risks for the coffee industry are related with climate change and increased pathogens. Considering the importance of the aroma profile and unique flavor of Arabica coffee, most literature focuses on this variety because of the high market share; however, nowadays, Robusta coffee stands out for its increasing industrial value and resistance to drought. In this review, both species are emphasized, highlighting sensory aspects of possible new products mixed with a higher proportion of Robusta given market trends for bitter beverages. In the present work, a systematic search of peer-reviewed literature evaluates how the coffee cup quality and physicochemical characteristics of Robusta and Arabica are influenced by environmental, agronomic, and further processing factors.

“…El tipo de asociación en el sistema de cultivo, así como el gradiente altitudinal influye en la composición de las comunidades edáficas (Rojas-Múnera et al, 2021) Poco se conoce de la variación de la macrofauna edáfica a diferentes altitudes, que sirva como indicador bilógico.…”

“…The type of association in the cropping system, as well as the altitudinal gradient influences the composition of the edaphic communities (Rojas-Múnera et al, 2021). Little is known about the variation of the edaphic macrofauna at different altitudes, which serves as a biological indicator.…”

Edaphic macrofauna and soil physicochemical properties, in smallholder coffee farms

et al. 2021

Edaphic macrofauna is a biological soil indicator that is rarely applied in the identification of soil quality in coffee farms. The objective was to evaluate edaphic macrofauna and soil physico-chemical properties in four coffee farms at different altitudes. The farms were selected in four hamlets of small-scale coffee farmers. In one-hectare plantations, three monoliths of 25 × 25 cm wide by 30 cm depth were sampled. Soil samples were taken from each plot, then the organic matter (OM) content, hydrogen potential (pH), electrical conductivity (EC) and nitrogen (N) content were determined. There were no differences in macrofaunal diversity for the altitudes studied, but there were differences according to the time of year (rainfall and low water). The maximum Shannon index was 2.2 (rainy season) and 1.1 (dry season). Physico-chemical parameters such as soil pH ranged from 7.8 - 8.15 in the lower altitude farms and for the higher altitude farms it was 6.38 - 6.65. Soil pH was highly negatively correlated with altitude. Nitrogen was positively correlated with organic matter. Faunal diversity is negatively correlated with season and the presence of microorganisms is influenced by the physico-chemical characteristics of the soil.
