在过去的六年里，出现了荫地咖啡认证计划，以验证以“荫地种植”销售的咖啡实际上是在为生物多样性提供更高质量栖息地的农场种植的。尽管有良好的意愿和不断增长的市场，但目前的标准是否能成功地识别具有保护意义的咖啡农场，几乎没有共识。本文提供了第一个生态评估和比较的主要认证计划所使用的荫生咖啡标准。利用植被数据，我们评估了雨林联盟，史密森候鸟中心（SMBC）和美国特种咖啡协会在墨西哥恰帕斯州的一系列咖啡农业生态系统中制定的标准，以确定每个项目将认证哪些管理实践。在这些咖啡农业生态系统中发现的食果蝴蝶和森林鸟类物种与附近的森林保护区进行了比较，作为生物多样性和保护潜力的指标。这些农业生态…
Shade coffee certification programs have emerged over the past six years to verify that coffee marketed as “shade grown” is actually grown on farms that provide higher quality habitat for biodiversity. In spite of good intentions and an increasing market, little consensus exists on whether current criteria can successfully identify coffee farms of conservation significance. This paper provides the first ecological evaluation and comparison of shade-grown coffee criteria used by major certification programs. Using vegetative data, we evaluated criteria developed by the Rainforest Alliance, the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC), and the Specialty Coffee Association of America across a range of coffee agroecosystems in Chiapas, Mexico, to determine which management practices each program would certify. Fruit-feeding butterflies and forest bird species found in these coffee agroecosystems were compared with nearby forest reserves as indicators of biodiversity and conservation potential. These agroecosy...
