Dear Professor Bourdeix, good afternoon
My name is João Pedro Cordido, and I,m a agronomist from Rio de Janeiro - Brasil and I follow your work and this yahoo group since 2013, its very interesting and didatic all information and your work (your blog is full of good ideas and observations)
In my Master degree I studied Nitrogen in Coconut and in my PhD I did a databank in eucalyptus to observe differences between highly and less productive plants, their nutrition and rain and sun light use and efficieny
At now I have a project to create a databank about edaphic and climatic conditions to understand historical different environment conditions to plants and their response in production (to sugarcane in Rio de Janeiro)
Create and analise a databank is not a easy work, but explain the minimal necessity to plant survive and the the oposite condition is the highest nutrient accumulation and biomass production (using a boundary line technic) (in annex are my PhD thesis).
I want create a coconut world databank, and his edaphic and climatic condition, if is your interest we can talk about and do a research together.
