SUMMARY The new Brazilian Forest Code obliges farmers to restore degraded lands on conservation set-asides required all rural properties, known as Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves. While can do so through agroforestry systems (AFS) improve their livelihoods offset the costs of restoration, these areas must also maintain basic ecological functions. How this be done in practice, however, stills need regulated at state level, but there are few scientific studies Brazil benefits...
Location-specific forms of agroforestry management can reduce problems in the forest–water–people nexus, by balancing upstream and downstream interests, but social ecological finetuning is needed. New ways achieving shared understanding underlying social-ecological relations needed to adapt contextualize generic solutions. Addressing these challenges between thirteen cases tropical scenario development across three continents requires exploration aspects issues, knowledge participative...
Metrics of hydrological mimicry (‘mimetrics’) reflect similarity in ecological structure and/or functions between managed and natural ecosystems. Only the land-surface parts cycles are directly visible represented local knowledge water-related legislation. Human impacts on water (HIWC) can, beyond climate change, arise through effects regional processes, from both reduced increased use compared to a reference vegetation with which landscape hydrology aligned. Precipitationsheds, oceanic...
Despite its economic potential, oil palm has earned a bad reputation for negative environmental and mixed social impacts. In the Eastern Brazilian Amazon, production expanded rapidly over past decade. Meanwhile, in same landscape, Agroforestry Systems (AFS) have been widely promoted as solution to achieve growth coupled with socio-environmental benefits smallholders. Our study seeks shed light on pathways reconciling farmer livelihoods. We randomly sampled 198 smallholders municipality of...
