Abstract Agroforestry offers producers climate mitigation and adaptation benefits the opportunity to diversify income enhance ecosystem services . Though these are well-researched, few studies document agroforestry implementation through time in United States using consistent national data sources. To fill this knowledge gap, we investigated changes number of farm operations with across from 2017 2022 Census Agriculture. Through analysis, showed that increased by 6% nationally between (30,853) (32,717). highest percent total farms reporting at least one type were Vermont (7.8%), Maine (6.0%), New Hampshire (5.6%), while states lowest Arizona (0.3%), Utah (0.4%), North Dakota (0.4%). on eastern half country tended see increases census years, western saw largest decreases. Reasons for complex require additional analysis. Additionally, identified potential factors may decrease accuracy data, along recommendations how improve overall quality going forward. We outlined can inform decision-making related policies, funding, programs, research, extension delivery. With an online supplement, also provided detailed maps extent all 50 states.

As environmental injustices and their disproportionate harms to Indigenous communities are increasingly acknowledged, restoration strategies being deployed widely by NGOs, resource extraction industries, government agencies. The inclusion of knowledges in efforts often considered progress the pursuit ecological reconciliation. However, some cases we have observed a lack meaningful as settler colonial prescriptions for land-healing can eschew decolonize — what labeled “pop-up restoration.” We consider two underway St’at’imc Quw’utsun territories (Canada) contrast them with learning alongside communities’ own values reclaim revitalize food systems throughout forest, wetland, grassland systems. Utilizing culturally appropriate pathways, then evaluate how applying an Food Systems lens may provide framework remedy pop-up restoration, confronting aspirations transform homelands while asserting justice contexts.

Salmon are an essential component of the ecosystem in Tsleil-Waututh Nation's traditional, ancestral, and contemporary unceded territory, centred on present-day Burrard Inlet, BC, Canada, where people have been harvesting salmon, along with a wide variety other fishes, for millennia. Nation is Coast Salish community that has called Inlet home since time immemorial. This research assesses continuity sustainability salmon fishery at təmtəmíxʷtən, ancestral settlement over thousands years before European contact (1792 CE).

Numerous oral histories and substantial ethnographic evidence illustrate how plant species, communities, even landscapes were extensively managed cared for by ancestral communities in the Pacific Northwest. Camas ( Camassia spp.) is one such cultural keystone plant, common from Ocean to Rocky Mountains, with numerous records describing its role as a staple food many Northwest peoples. Supporting deep time archeological management or stewardship practices, however, has remained elusive. In this paper we analyze archived collections of camas bulbs 11 sites across Willamette Valley, Oregon demonstrate people began preparing within earth ovens approximately 8000 calendar years before present deliberately harvesting sexually mature plants circa 3500 present. We compare these findings climatological, palynological, fire history reconstructions discuss strategies associated through at population, community, landscape levels. These confirm expand upon Indigenous knowledges well offer time-tested methods conservationists seeking revitalize traditional practices throughout region beyond. This “camas case study” also offers another example human-plant symbiotic relationship, expanding our knowledge pathways, processes, mutualisms.

Abstract Indigenous peoples' deep time relationships with ecosystems hold valuable lessons on how humans can relate to, and be stewards in, the natural world. At crux of these is multifaceted way peoples participate within ecosystems. This paper describes this connection between people place by analysing a legal pedagogical philosophy called gugwilx'ya'ansk amongst Ts'msyen (Tsimshian) northwest coast North America. The author, an anthropologist from Gitk’a’ata (Gitga'at) tribe Tsimshian, narrates gugwilx’ya’ansk weaves education, governance, identity, spirituality, ritual into land‐based practices for purpose deep‐time stewardship. Through autoethnographic narrative storytelling, he focuses his own journey being groomed becoming mountain goat hunter hereditary governance system community, process revealed methodology to achieve relationality reciprocity landscape while harvesting. concludes reflecting why has been successful what it offer greater society.

Abstract Commensal relationships between wild plants and their dispersers play a key ecological evolutionary role in community structure function. While non-human are often considered critical to plant recruitment, human have received much less attention, especially when it comes non-domesticated plants.
