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...

Human impacts on water cycles (HIWC) can include modification of rainfall. Spatial and temporal variation in rainfall, with implications for 'water security', has been attributed to multiple causal pathways, different options human agency. Ten historical paradigms the cause rainfall imply shifts from 'nature controlling humans' 'human control over nature' other humans'. Paradigm have consequences efforts, interacting social–ecological systems, appease spirits, please rainmakers, expose...

Abstract Nowadays, tropical forest landscapes are commonly characterized by a multitude of interacting institutions and actors with competing land-use interests. In these settings, indigenous tribal communities often marginalized in landscape-level decision making. Inclusive landscape governance inherently integrates diverse knowledge systems, including those communities. Increasingly, geo-information tools recognized as appropriate to integrate interests legitimize the voices, values,...

The urban climate affects more than half the world's population, and green spaces are considered a nature-based solution to alleviate heat island effect adapt cities change. Knowledge on cooling draws mostly data from temperate climates, similar research in humid tropical climates often focuses dry season. This study presents year-round temperature humidity for sixteen stationary sensors Paramaribo, capital of Suriname, remotely sensed land surface temperatures these locations. Analysis was...
