Despite expanding interest in ecosystem service research over the past three decades, in-depth understanding of contribution forests and trees to food production livelihoods remains limited. This review synthesizes current evidence base examining forest agricultural tropics, where often occurs within complex land use mosaics that are increasingly subjected concomitant climatic anthropogenic pressures. Using systematic methodology we found 74 studies investigating effect or tree-based...
Abstract This paper examines why, despite greater numbers of youth out‐migration, connections to rural land remain strong for young people in a remote farming village on Flores Island, Indonesia. Following recent geographic work the development people's aspirations and how imaginings “elsewhere” support navigational practices, I explore migrate pursue their that lay well outside village. Drawing household survey data life experiences middle generations moving between Indonesian cities, show...
Abstract As rural places and people are increasingly intertwined between cities, markets mobility, broader perspectives needed to examine the multiple changes occurring urban spaces, families generations. This article discusses how a generational perspective can study ‘more‐than‐rural’ change in contemporaneous manner. Drawing on field examples from village Flores Island, Indonesia, I show intergenerational views, gathered through household surveys in‐depth interviews, gave further depth...
Abstract Processes of rapid and truncated agrarian change—driven through expanding urbanisation, infrastructure development, extractive industries, commodity crops—are shaping the livelihood opportunities aspirations Indonesia’s rural youth. This study describes everyday experiences youth as they navigate changing character agriculture, aquaculture, fishing livelihoods across gender, class, generation. Drawing on qualitative field research conducted in Maros District South Sulawesi, we...
Swidden agriculture or shifting cultivation has been practised in the uplands of Southeast Asia for centuries and is estimated to support up 500 million people – most whom are poor, natural resource reliant uplanders. Recently, however, dramatic land-use transformations have generated social, economic ecological impacts that affected extent, practice outcomes swidden region. While certain socio-ecological trends clear, how these broader changes impact upon local livelihoods ecosystem...
Abstract Background Miombo woodlands cover ≈ 2.7 million km 2 of central and southern Africa between dry (650 mm mean annual rainfall) moist miombo (1400 mm) are currently threatened by land use changes that have intensified over the last 50 years. Despite miombo’s global significance for carbon (C) storage sequestration, there has been no regional synthesis maps stocks in woodlands. This information is crucial to inform further research development appropriate policies management strategies...

From the perspective of a remote village in eastern Indonesia, this article examines consequences rural young people's changing aspirations. Markedly different from their parents' generation is how many youth pursue university degrees larger cities and aspire for 'modern' work. Drawing on household survey ethnographic interview data, I show shared ideas about 'success' future push people poor middle-income households into similar pathways education Then, use lenses doxa, habitus emergent...
There has been growing interest in mixed species plantation systems because of their potential to provide a range socio-economic and bio-physical benefits which can be matched the diverse needs smallholders communities. Potential include production forest products for home commercial use; improved soil fertility especially when nitrogen fixing are included; survival rates greater productivity species; reduction amount damage from pests or disease; biodiversity wildlife habitats. Despite...
There is increasing awareness of the importance gender in natural resource management. Especially for communities dependent upon forests their livelihoods, roles and relations can affect access to forest resources, income food generating activities. As a consequence, mediated products may lead different security outcomes women, men children. Because cross-cutting issue many development, research state institutions, this study examines existing evidence base related gendered low middle...
Interventions to ‘improve’ the human condition through democratic and capitalist ideals increasingly draw on capital markets influence governance in line with Western mandates of state building. As a major recent example, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation Forest Degradation ‘plus’ (REDD+) develops new market regimes govern, finance, trade carbon donor discourses civil liberties, expansion, and, more broadly, Emerging REDD + networks that aim finance now align conditionality governance,...
In nearly all parts of the world, an important part people’s livelihood is derived from natural resources. Gender considered one most determinants access and control over forests. It thought that women men within households communities have different opportunities roles responsibilities in relation to forest use. probable when equal forests, better food security outcomes can be achieved for individuals are dependent on forests their livelihoods. A systematic evidence map base linking gender...
Miombo woodlands are extensive dry forest ecosystems in central and southern Africa covering ≈2.7 million km2. Despite their vast expanse global importance for carbon storage, the long-term stocks dynamics have been poorly researched. The objective of this paper was to present summarize evidence gathered on aboveground (AGC) soil organic (SOC) miombo from 1960s mid-2018 through a literature review. We reviewed data find out what extent found further investigated if there differences based...

Miombo woodlands are extensive dry forest ecosystems in central and southern Africa covering ≈2.7 million km2. Despite their vast expanse global importance for carbon storage, the long-term stocks dynamics have been poorly researched. The objective of this paper is to present summarize evidence gathered on above- belowground (root soil) miombo from 1960s mid-2018 through a review. We analyzed data answer: (1) What range aboveground found over last six decades? (2) Are there...
