Among the strategies to promote sustainable tropical forest development around the world, the Federal Extractive Reserve System of Brazil is widely cited as an exemplary model. It is designed to protect rubber tapper communities, their forests, and their livelihoods while preventing deforestation and conserving biodiversity. In response to changing markets and policies, rubber tappers in the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve have recently diversified production to include market agriculture and cattle production, precipitating deforestation in the reserve, with the implication of increased ecological degradation compared to the extraction of nontimber forest products (NTFPs). Our remote sensing and forest inventory analyses yield different insights about the... |

Ecological assessments and monitoring programs often rely on indicators to evaluate environmental conditions. Such indicators are frequently developed by scientists, expressed in technical language, and target aspects of the environment that scientists consider useful. Yet setting environmental policy priorities and making environmental decisions requires both effective communication of environmental information to decision makers and consideration of what members of the public value about ecosystems. However, the complexity of ecological issues, and the ways in which they are often communicated, make it difficult for these parties to fully engage such a dialogue. This paper describes our efforts to develop a process for translating the indicators of... |

Контрастность суши и моря в береговой зоне и их активное вещественно-энергетическое взаимодействие позволяют рассматривать береговую зону в качестве яркого примера парагенетического ландшафтного комплекса. Парагенетический подход дает возможность оценить экологическое состояние береговой зоны на основе изучения вещественных потоков между ее наземной и аквальной частями. Программа экологического мониторинга береговой зоны содержит обширную информацию, которая объединена в тектоническую, геолого-геоморфологическую, литологическую, метеогидрологическую, гидролитодинамическую, биоценотическую и антропогенную группы. В отличие от традиционных подходов, предложенная программа предусматривает совместную характеристику сопряженных зон суши и моря и взаимосвязей... |
