Poverty has many faces and poverty reduction pathways in different contexts. Lack of food income interact with lack access to water, energy, protection from floods, voice, rights recognition. Among the by which agricultural research can increase rural prosperity, integrated natural resource management deals a complex nexus issues, tradeoffs among issues that are various stages denial, recognition, analysis, innovation, scenario synthesis creation platforms for (policy) change. Rather than on portfolio externally developed 'solutions' ready adoption use, concept sustainable development may primarily hinge strengths weaknesses local communities observe, analyse, innovate, connect, organize collective action become part wider coalitions. 'Boundary work' supporting such efforts help resolve polycentric governance context, especially where incomplete understanding knowledge prevent potential win-win alternatives current lose-lose conflicts emerge. Integrated research-development approaches deal context ('theory place') options change') multiple ways vary selecting sites studying pre-defined starting whatever issue deserves prominence given location interest. A knowledge-to-action linkage typology recognizes three situations increasing complexity. In Type I more directly lead single decision maker; II inform tradeoff decisions, while III negotiation support + maker settings higher level Current impact quantification first, is challenged second inadequate third case, dealing social-ecological systems. Impact-oriented funding focus miss opportunities larger ultimate involvements.

Tree planting has been widely touted as an inexpensive way to meet multiple international environmental goals for mitigating climate change, reversing landscape degradation and restoring biodiversity restoration. The Bonn Challenge New York Declaration on Forests, motivated by widespread deforestation forest degradation, call 350 million ha 2030 relying restoration (FLR) processes. Because the 173 commitments made 63 nations, regions companies are not legally binding, expectations of what FLR means lacks consensus. frequent disconnect between top-level aspirations on-the-ground implementation results in limited data activities. Additionally, some countries have landscape-scale outside Challenge. We compared contrasted theory practice compiled information from databases projects initiatives case studies. present main happening across regional groups; many regions, potential need/opportunity exceeds activities underway. Multiple objectives can be met manipulating vegetation (increasing structural complexity, changing species composition natural disturbances). Livelihood interventions context-specific but include collecting or raising non-timber products, employment community forests; other address tenure governance.

Abstract Agroforestry (AF)-based adaptation to global climate change can consist of (1) reversal negative trends in diverse tree cover as generic portfolio risk management strategy; (2) targeted, strategic, shift resource capture (e.g. light, water) adjust changing conditions lower or more variable rainfall, higher temperatures); (3) vegetation-based influences on rainfall patterns; (4) adaptive, tactical, tree-crop interactions based weather forecasts for the (next) growing season. Forty years ago, a physiological research tradition aboveground and belowground was established with questions methods climate-tree-soil-crop space time that are still relevant today’s challenges. After summarising early contributions, we review recent literature assess current levels uncertainty assessments through AF. Quantification microclimate within around canopies showed gap between standard station data (designed avoid influences) actual which crop meristems livestock operates real-world Where scenario modelling ‘macroclimate’ mean annual temperature extrapolates from past decades, it ignores effects trees. There is shortage long-term phenology records analyse biological responses across wide range species variability, especially where flowering pollination matter.

Numerous reforestation projects have been conducted to improve soil fertility in degraded forests, often causing alterations the microbial communities. However, it remains unclear whether functional groups are affected and how these correlate with an increase nutrient contents during reforestation. We investigated abundance composition of free-living nitrogen-fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs) by quantifying sequencing marker gene nifH bulk soils from five approaches, including legumes non-legumes, subtropical China. The relationships between diazotrophic community attributes nitrogen (N) content (NO3−, NH4+ biomass N) were examined under various approaches. Abundance diazotrophs was highest native tree plantation (Schima spp. Michelia macclurei) Acacia mangium monoculture (AM), lowest Pinus massoniana monoculture. correlated positively organic matter water while there a negative correlation pH. differed significantly among approaches closely variations pH, content.

In the present study we compared community composition, structure, regeneration status and carbon stock of a human managed arboretum (restoration site) during three decades with natural forest in western Himalaya. Results reveal that ecological restoration activities enhanced species richness woody plants by 66.4% total 125 as to 42 forest. Similarly, above ground was ∼38% higher (49.5 Mg/ha) (30.8 Mg/ha). Plantation success ∼52% survival rate for temperate Himalayan native species. Tree density 322.6/ha 50% small girth trees (<50 cm gbh) tree 184/ha. basal area 41.5% (23.8 m2/ha) (13.9 m2/ha). case vegetation layer, shrubs, saplings seedlings show 23.5, 12.2 7.6 individuals/25 m2 10.1, 3.0 4.1 Hence, our results indicate sub-tropical forests Himalaya contribute 1.36% annual increment addition improvement structure Therefore, similar institutional projects have ample potential reducing emissions mitigate climate change impact.
