Forests and other tree-based systems such as agroforestry contribute to food and nutritional security in myriad ways. Directly, trees provide a variety of healthy foods including fruits, leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and edible oils that can diversify diets and address seasonal food and nutrition...

This section introduces some basic concepts surrounding the climate system, climate change and climate variability. We will provide some insights into the challenges of climate modelling and what the inherent uncertainty really means for us, before exploring the way adaptation has so far been dis...


Neufeldt, HenrySand, Isabel van deDietz, JohannesMinh HHYatich, T.Lasco, RodelNoordwijk, Meine van[Climate change, climate variability and adaptation options]Climate change, climate variability and adaptation options

In this section we provide a more in-depth look at the role trees play in the provision of goods and services in multifunctional landscapes. Tree growth is, however, vulnerable to climate variability, depending on the physiological properties of the tree and characteristics of the site. A further...

In the Brazilian savannas, or Cerrados the rapid advance in agriculture and cattle ranching is affecting soils through, for example, accelerated erosion and depletion of soil organic matter (SOM). Changes in soil microbial biomass are good indicators of changes in SOM. We therefore assessed the e...

This study assessed the influence of land use (continuous cropping, CC; tree plantations, F; pasture, PG; and native savanna, NS) on P concentrations and partitioning in bulk soil and two aggregate size fractions of two Oxisols, one loamy and one clayey. The quantity and quality of physically pro...

Neufeldt, HenryZech, W.Thomas, Richard J.[Introduction: sustainable land management for the oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Introduction: sustainable land management for the oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

Little is known about the sustainability of cultivation systems in the Brazilian savannas, also known as the Cerrados, despite its increasing significance for that country`s agriculture. To characterize management effects and follow alterations of organic compounds in different fractions, we stud...


Neufeldt, HenryResck, DVSAyarza, Miguel AngelZech, W.[Soil organic matter in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Soil organic matter in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

The effects of land-use change on the structure of Oxisols in the Brazilian savannas (also known as the Cerrados) are still insufficiently understood. We therefore studied loamy and clayey Oxisols under natural savanna, crop, pasture, and reforestation to (1) quantify management-induced changes i...


Neufeldt, HenryAyarza, Miguel AngelResck, DVSZech, W.[Distribution of water-stable aggregates and aggregating agents in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Distribution of water-stable aggregates and aggregating agents in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

Plant production in the Brazilian savannas, also known as the Cerrados, is limited mainly by low P availability. In tropical soils, rich in sesquioxides, P supply of plants depends heavily on the transformation of organic P by phosphatase enzymes into HPO 4 2- and H 2 PO 4-. We examined two Oxiso...
