Excerpt: Pg. 49

    Coffee-growing areas in Nicaragua were mapped by Valerio-Hernández (2002) but without distinguishing between Arabica and Robusta coffee. The map shows that coffee is produced at Nicaraguan altitudes of 100–1400 masl. According to CAFENICA (Cooperativas de Pequeños Productores de Café de Nicaragua) experts, Arabica coffee grows between 500 and 1400 masl. In contrast, below 500 masl most producers grow Robusta coffee. Robusta coffee plants have different eco-physiological requirements than Arabica coffee plants and would have introduced error to the analysis, as Coffea arabica (Arabica coffee) and Coffea canephora (Robusta coffee) are two different species. Therefore, we only used information on Arabica coffee and sites with elevations between 500 and 1400 masl. We extracted the geographical coordinates of coffee farms in the 3155 polygons (area of approximately 1200 km2 ) identified as growing coffee that represent the Nicaraguan coffee zone. We obtained coordinates, at 30 arc-second spatial resolution (approximately 1 km at the equator), for a total of 4919 pixels that show where coffee is currently present.
