Utveckling av nyplanterade träd i urban miljö : en studie av trädplanteringar i Hyllie by Johansson, Karin

From Tree Planting to Tree Growing: Rethinking Ecosystem Restoration Through Tree by Duguma, L.A., Minang, Peter A., Aynekulu, B. E., Carsan, S., Nzyoka, J., Bah, A., Jamnadass, Ramni H.

“…Performance indicators are often the number of trees planted or area planted, not the number of trees grown, or the area of land covered with grown trees. 2) Most projects operate on a short time frame (1-3 years) while many tree species (e.g. native trees in many African countries) need more time to sufficiently grow. 3) Emphasis on the right trees, for the right place and the right purposes, is very weak. 4) Even in projects of adequate duration emphasis on after-planting management is often limited. 5) There is lack of tree tenure to formally transfer the management of planted trees to local communities who reside in the landscapes over a long period of time. …”

FTA Highlight No.5 – Food Security and Nutrition by Ickowitz, A., McMullin, S., Dawson, Ian K., Sunderland, T.C.H., Powell, B., Nurhasan, M., Vinceti, B., Jamnadass, Ramni, Meybeck, A., Gitz, V.

“…Evidence shows that greater tree cover is associated with greater dietary diversity. Wild and planted trees provide important foods, and forests are key habitats for wildlife and sustain healthy rivers providing fish, both of which also are important for diets. …”

Traditional agroforestry systems and biodiversity conservation in Benin (West Africa) by Fifanou, V.G., Ousmane, C., Gauthier, B., Brice, S.

“…Species richness varied with the size of household where households with small land holding conserve more tree species in their field than households with large land holdings. 64% of households surveyed were making deliberate efforts to plant tree species on their farmlands. The most important reasons which determined household ambitions to conserve woody species on farmland were tree products contribution to food and medicine. …”

Litterfall dynamics under different tropical forest restoration strategies in Costa Rica by Celentano, Danielle, Zahawi, Rakan A., Finegan, Bryan, Ostertag, Rebecca, Cole, Rebecca J., Holl, Karen D.

“…We evaluated litterfall and nutrient dynamics under four treatments: plantation (entire area planted), tree islands (planting in six patches of three sizes), control (same age natural regeneration), and young secondary forest (7–9-yr-old natural regeneration). …”

Assessing land use changes and livelihood outcomes of rural people in Chittagong Hill Tracts region, Bangladesh by Ahammad, R., Stacey, N., Sunderland, T.C.H.

“…The land use patterns revealed decreasing crop lands (mainly swidden shifting cultivation/land rotation farms) and an increase in areas of planted trees within this landscape. However, household use of the reduced crop land has not affected food production in the on‐road zone, whereas the diversity of food sources has declined. …”

Reducing risks by transforming landscapes: Cross-scale effects of land-use changes on ecosystem services by Fedele, G., Locatelli, Bruno, Djoudi, H., Colloff, Matthew J.

“…Local people converted forests to rubber plantations, reforested less productive croplands, protected forests on hillsides, and planted trees in gardens. Our results show that land-use decisions were propagated at the landscape scale due to reinforcing loops, whereby local actors perceived that such decisions contributed positively to livelihoods by reducing risks and generating co-benefits. …”

Landscape rehabilitation of degraded tropical forest ecosystems: case study of the CIFOR/Japan project in Indonesia and Peru by Kobayashi, S.

“…The approach to rehabilitation has been through the "taungya" system whereby farmers grow annual crops among newly planted trees. With the Instituto Nacional de Investigacion Agraria (INIA), Peru, the project is trialling revegetation of fallow fields abandoned after agricultural use in the Ucayali region of the Peruvian Amazon. …”

Stadsodling by Gunnarsson, Kristina

“…There is a positive effect of weaker wind, but on certain sites the wind gets very strong instead and you might need a wind shield to protect sensitive plants. Trees and bushes act like protective shields, some species more efficiently than others. …”
