Soil ecosystem service (SES) approaches evidence the importance of soil for human well-being, contribute to improving dialogue between science and decision-making encourage translation scientific results into public policies. Herein, through systematic review, we assess state art SES in tropical regions. Through this 41 publications were identified; while most these studies considered SES, a lack consistent framework define was apparent. Most measured natural capital processes, only three...
Recent efforts to achieve social, economic, and environmental goals related sustainability emphasize the importance of nature-based solutions (NBS), as grey infrastructure alone is insufficient address current challenges. The majority frameworks proposed in literature fail full potential NBS, neglecting long-term results, unintended consequences, co-benefits, their contribution achieving global agreements, such Agenda 2030, especially for water management a peri-urban context. Here we...
Understanding local stakeholders' perception and their relation with the landscape its natural resources is an important step for successfully implementing Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). Here, we present a case study on FLR in context of global biodiversity hotspot—the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using participatory approach to include knowledge into project planning. We analyzed land use cover, organized workshop focus group methodology associated maps other visual representations...
Ecosystem restoration strategies vary widely in the techniques applied and ecological contexts. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate how success varies across socio-ecological contexts, taxonomic groups biomes. Restoration is quantified as percentage of each metric value attained site compared reference systems. show that different for plants, animals, soils indicators. Abundance easier restore than carbon stocks, which are species diversity. However, abundance may be poor indicator...
