Coffee yields and soil nutrients under the shades of Inga sp. vs. multiple species in Chiapas, Mexico

While Mexican coffee producers have often sought to replace a natural diverse canopy with Inga latibracteata alone, the benefits of either method for yield and for ease of management have not been adequately studied.
