Abstract Settlement expansion and commercial agriculture affect landscape sustainability ecosystem service provision. Integrated approaches are promoted to negotiate trade-offs between competing land uses their reconciliation. Incorporating local perceptions of dynamics as basis for such negotiations is particularly relevant sub-Saharan Africa, where most people depend on natural ecosystems livelihoods well-being. This study applied participatory scenario building spatially explicit simulation unravel the potential impact rubber settlement provision selected services in southwestern Ghana under a business-as-usual scenario. We collected data workshops expert surveys locally services, indicator values, probable land-use transitions. The was translated into an assessment matrix integrated modeling platform, allowing visualization comparison scenarios plantation expansion. results show capacity current (2020) future patterns provide indicating decline provisioning compared 2020 patterns, threat benefits humans derive from ecosystems. highlights urgent need policies measures control drivers land-use/land-cover change.

Euterpe oleracea Martius is the main palm tree species that contributes to Amazonian economy and its pulp a widely sought-after product in market due nutritional health benefits. However, high demand has stimulated changes land use practices of native stands, including management models increase fruit productivity. Thus, we aimed evaluate socioeconomic aspects involved extractivism/local this community Brazilian Amazon. We interviewed 10 families from 15 ones participate productive chain community, with questions related aspects, practices, commercialization E. oleracea. Its collection an important activity provides family income, majority production being for pulp. Family labor fundamental importance maintenance presented all steps chain. The advantage Santa Luzia location near consumer markets, so members should take more effectively stimulate strengthening community’s local processing unit, mainly pulp, which constitutes greatest contribution.

This systematic review examines the intersection of systems thinking and learning theory in addressing rural–urban challenges light increasing global urbanization. We explore how different dimensions thinking—ontological (how we understand systems) epistemological think about systems)—align with single-, double-, triple-loop research from 2014 to 2024. Through a rigorous screening process peer-reviewed literature, analyze theoretical frameworks manifest approaches, methodological choices, outcomes. Our findings reveal promising developments persistent gaps current suggest pathways for more integrated frameworks. also highlight need studies that develop knowledge practices support collective joint trajectories towards sustainability cross-sectorial perspective geographies. synthesis contributes discussions on effectively address complex at interface while advancing both understanding practical application.
