Forest use and agriculture in Ucayali, Peruvian Amazon: Interactions among livelihood strategies, income and environmental outcomes by Porro, Roberto, Lopez Feldman, Alejandro, Vela Alvarado, Jorge W., Quiñonez Ruíz, Lourdes, Seijas Cardenas, Zully P., Vásquez Macedo, Miguel, Salazar Arista, Clemente de Jesus, Núñez Paredes, Vladimir I., Cardenas Ruiz, Jefferson

“…Findings from a survey on sources of income and land allocation outcomes of 578 households from 26 communities with diverse ethnic composition at distinct environmental settings in Ucayali (Peruvian Amazon) are used to contrast livelihood strategies featuring high forest and high agriculture dependency, examining whether agricultural intensification can be linked to lower deforestation. A typology of households based on their land use allocation profile was used to assess current and cumulative cleared land. …”

Adding the temporal dimension to spatial patterns of payment for ecosystem services enrollment by Núñez Regueiro, Mauricio M., Fletcher, Robert J. (Junior), Pienaar, Elizabeth F., Branch, Lyn C., Volante, Jose Norberto, Rifai, Sami

“…We found the PES program enrolled land in areas with high agricultural potential, but enrollment of these lands occurred for shorter time periods than lands with lower levels of threat from deforestation. Consequently, adverse selection occurred over time but not in space. …”

Soil resistance and recovery during neotropical forest succession by van der Sander, Masha T, Powers, Jennifer S, Norden, Natalia, Salgado Negret, Beatriz, Bongers, Frans, Delgado, Diego, Dent, Daisy H, Dupuy, Juan Manuel, Finegan, Bryan, Jakovac, Catarina C, Meave, Jorge A, Muñoz, Rodrigo, Piotto, Daniel, Cáceres Siani, Yasmani, Sanchez Azofeifa, G. Arturo, Poorter, Lourens, y 15 autores más

“…Croplands and sites on high-activity clay (i.e. high fertility) show strong increases in bulk density and decreases in pH, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) during deforestation and subsequent agricultural use. Resistance is lower in such sites probably because of a sharp decline in fine root biomass in croplands in the upper soil layers, and a decline in litter input from formerly productive old-growth forest (on high-activity clays). …”

“Planting Trees is Always Good” by Planting Mollaoglu, Emil

“…The thesis presents four problem-solution complexes in which the two companies mainly represent climate change as a problem of 1) reduced emissions and carbon dioxide removal, 2) consumption, 3) deforestation and carbon sequestration and 4) where carbon offsetting also is represented as a solution to sustainable development challenges in the Global South. …”
