Evaluación económica de un sistema silvo-apícola-pastoril en el norte continental de la provincia de Buenos Aires by Alvarez Barreto, V., Cabrini, Silvina María, Fillat, Francisco Antonio, Ferrere, Paula, Signorelli, Alejandro Gabriel

“…The objective of this study was to make an economic evaluation of a silvo-beekeeping-pastoral system (SSAP) in the continental North of the province of Buenos Aires. A private cost-benefit analysis of an SSAP was performed for a producer who decides to incorporate afforestation with poplar trees and beehives to his livestock production system, and a private cost-benefit analysis at the regional level of an alternative scenario in which each livestock farm with more than 1000 head of cattle forests 100 hectares with poplar, and produce honey in association with a beekeeper. …”

Uncovering spatial patterns in the natural and human history of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) across the Amazon Basin by Thomas, E., Alcázar Caicedo, Carolina, McMichael, C.H., Corvera, R., Loo, J.

“…We scrutinized the putative association between Brazil nut and Amazonian Dark Earth soils (ADE) and geometric earthworks called geoglyphs, and examined the existence of continental patterns in human footprints on Brazil nut stands.Amazon Basin.We carried out a spatially explicit meta‐analysis of the variation of Brazil nut stand metrics across the Amazon Basin based on 87,617 density estimates and 488 average stand diameter assessments, and related these to previously published datasets and suitability maps of Brazil nut, ADE and geoglyphs.We found consistently higher Brazil nut suitability scores, stand densities and average stand diameters in the vicinities of ADE than at larger distances, regardless of their position along a gradient from south‐western to north‐eastern Amazonia. …”
