Trade-Offs in Multi-Purpose Land Use under Land Degradation por Vlek, Paul L.G., Khamzina, Asia, Azadi, Hossein, Bhaduri, Anik, Bharati, Luna, Braimoh, Ademola, Martius, Christopher, Sunderland, Terry C.H., Taheri, Fatemeh

“…Land degradation reduces our options to meet both food demands and environmental needs. In order to illustrate this trade-off dilemma, four representative services, carbon sinks, water storage, biodiversity, and space for urbanization, are discussed here based on a review of contemporary literature that cuts across the domain of ecosystem services that are provided by land. …”

Capturing farm diversity with hypothesis-based typologies: An innovative methodological framework for farming system typology development por Álvarez, S., Timler, Carl J., Michalscheck, M., Paas, W., Descheemaeker, Katrien K., Tittonell, Pablo A., Andersson, Jens A., Groot, Jeroen C.J.

“…We demonstrate that the methodological decisions on data collection, variable selection, data-reduction and clustering techniques can bear a large impact on the typology results. We illustrate the effects of analysing the diversity from different angles, using different typology objectives and different hypotheses, on typology creation by using an example from Zambia’s Eastern Province. …”

Natural regeneration as a tool for large-scale forest restoration in the tropics: prospects and challenges por Chazdon, R.L., Guariguata, Manuel R.

“…Here, we focus on the conditions that favor natural regeneration within tropical forest landscapes. We illustrate cases where large‐scale natural regeneration followed forest clearing and non‐forest land use, and describe the social and ecological factors that drove these local forest transitions. …”

Securing well-being with the advent of climate hazards: Case of forest-dependent communities in a landscape in the Congo Basin por Chia, E.L., Tiani, A.M., Sonwa, D.J., Pérez Terán, A.S.

“…– This paper aims to examine the contribution of forests resource systems to the different aspects of community well-being, the implications of climate variability on the different sources of well-being and further identifies direct and indirect social and policy opportunities relevant for communities to enhance their capabilities in the face of climate variability and change in the Tri-National de la Sangha landscape of Cameroon.– It illustrates on data collected from focus group discussions and from 151 households randomly selected in three villages to operationalize the conceptual links between community well-being and vulnerability.– The study shows that vulnerability to climate change interferes with community strategies to achieve well-being, in addition to non-climatic processes which are both internal and external to communities. …”

Conversion of traditional cropland into teak plantations strongly increased soil erosion in montane catchments of Southeastern Asia [Abstract only] por Evrard, O., Ribolzi, Olivier, Huon, S., Rouw, Anneke de, Silvera, N., Latsachack, K.O., Soulileuth, B., Lefevre, I., Lacombe, Guillaume, Sengtaheuanghoung, Oloth, Valentin, Christian

“…Furthermore, sediment yields strongly increased from 98 to 609 Mg km-2. These changes illustrate the severity of soil erosion processes occurring under teak plantations characterized by the virtual absence of understorey vegetation to dissipate raindrop energy, which facilitates the formation of an impermeable surface crust. …”
