Agricultural expansion is a major cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. In Africa, biologists have observed that the populations of some tsetse species, which transmit human and livestock trypanosomosis, decline or disappear as human populations grow and farmers clear fly habitat for cultivation....

Numbers of plant species and individuals were examined relative to land use in an agricultural settlement in the Brasilian Amazon. Land uses were forest, cropped after forest, fallows, cropped after fallow, and pasture. These uses corresponded roughly to farmers` land use changes over time. As ex...

Of the countries considering national-level policies for incentivizing reductions in forest-based greenhouse gas emissions (REDD+), some 25 are experiencing (or are emerging from) armed-conflicts. It has been hypothesized that the outcomes of the interactions between carbon-storage and peacebuild...

In Colombia coffee production is facing risks due to an increase in the variability and amount of rainfall, which may alter hydrological cycles and negatively influence yield quality and quantity. Shade trees in coffee plantations, however, are known to produce ecological benefits, such as interc...

A study was conducted to assess the impact of agricultural land use history on macro-aggregate (4.0–4.8 mm) stability in the 0–5 cm layers of Chromic and ‘Hydromorphic’ Vertisols in north Cameroon. Macroaggregate stability to water drop impact was determined and the ASI50 index calculated. Macroa...

Insect pests are a major cause of crop yield losses around the world and pest management plays a critical role in providing food security and farming income. This study links Nigerian farmers’ perceptions of pest severity to the landscape, agronomic, biophysical, and socio-economic context in whi...
