Functional traits and performance of woody species on oil- affected soils of the Ecuadorian Amazon by Villancis, Jaime, Casanoves, Fernando, Hang, Susana, Armas, Cristina

“…These activities have resulted in high deforestation, acceleration of soil erosion, decrease in water infiltration, increase in superficial runoff (Bertzky et al., 2011), and reduction of fauna species (Arroyo-Rodríguez et al., 2007; Pozo-Rivera et al., 2023).In response, the Ecuadorian government has implemented reforestation programs on sites affected by oil extraction processes since 2000 (Villacís, 2016). …”

Understanding poverty-environment interactions by Musoma, Richwell Tryson

“…Although tobacco is associated with environmentally damaging practices especially pollution through extensive agrochemicals use and land degradation through deforestation (cutting wood to cure tobacco leaves), these practices were found to be a function of household decisions and how the farmer perceives the tobacco management benefits (short-term benefits than long-term outcomes) rather than wealth. …”
