Volume Editor: Fabio daMatta
Fábio M. DaMatta is an agronomist and received his D.Sc. degree in 1995 in plant physiology from the Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil, where he is currently a Full Professor of Plant Physiology at the Plant Biology Department. Dr. DaMatta is the author or co-author of more than 200 research articles and book chapters, most of which deal with the ecophysiology of the coffee tree. Over his career, he advised 42 postgraduate students and supervised 11 postdocs. He served as a consulting member of the Brazilian Consortium for Coffee Research and Development (1998-2010), as Editor-in-Chief of the Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology (2006-2008), and as the coordinator of the leading Latin American Graduate Program in Plant Physiology (Federal University of Viçosa; 2008-2023). Dr. DaMatta serves on multiple research networks and holds associate editor positions at prominent plant physiology and agriculture journals. His current H-index is 55 (Scopus). Over the last three years, Prof. DaMatta features in the list of world's most influential scientists, as compiled by Stanford University and published by Elsevier.
Presents the latest information on the future of the coffee crop
Coffee, Volume 112 gives the latest updates on one of the premier global traded commodities. With its annual income of approx. USD 200 billion, it supports the livelihoods of nearly 25 million smallholder farmers. In this updated edition, chapters cover The history and genetic diversity of arabica coffee, The importance of wild coffee species in a scenario of climate changes, Coffee plant architecture, Water and heat constraints to coffee ecophysiology and production, The impacts of irradiance on coffee growth and ecophysiology in a context of climate changes, Omic technologies contribution to unveil coffee resilience responses to climate changes, and much more.
Additional chapters delve into Agroforestry as an alternative management system to improve coffee crop sustainability and bean quality, Could breeding of new arabica coffee varieties be a response to the climate change?, Selection, development, and management of robusta coffee genotypes under a climate change perspective, Grafting coffee for productivity and health during a changing climate, Coffee somatic embryogenesis: advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation, and many other topics.
