A paradigm shift towards low-nitrifying systems: The role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)
The impacts of increasing natural climate disasters are threatening food security in the Asia-Pacific region. Rice is Asia’s most important staple food. Climate variability and change directly impact rice production, through changes in rainfall, temperature and CO2 concentrations. The key for sus...

No longer nomadic: changing Punan Tubu lifestyle requires new health strategies
This study has two central concerns: the state of human health in forests, and the causal links between forests and human health. Within this framework, we consider four issues related to tropical forests and human health. First, we discuss forest foods, emphasizing the forest as a food-producing...

Back to the trees? Diet and health as indicators of adaptive responses to environmental change: the case of the Punan Tubu in the Malinau research forest
This paper contains an overview of the state of human health in and around forests, and the causal links between forests and human health. It identifies four central links between forests and human health, focusing on two central questions: 1. What are the human health conditions in and around fo...
