“…The articles have increased over time, with the visible increased beginning in 2018 to 2021 for food security and social forestry. The study also shared a similar pattern with findings from [16], whereby the number of articles related to food security increased between 2018 and 2019. Additionally, other papers limited the publication year to review current literature, such as less than 15 years [12,14], 20 years [15,17], and more than 20 years [16].…”

Food security issues, particularly forest resources, have gained increasing worldwide attention over the past few years. Although studies have discussed various food security contributions, few have addressed the connection between community livelihood with food security, particularly in social forestry areas. Thus, the study aims to address the gap from an overview of community livelihood and food security in various Asian countries. The study retrieved approximately 142 articles from different databases and filtered 71, highlighting 30 case studies related to social forestry and food security, published between 2010 and 2021 cross schemes in Asia. The key indicators of community livelihood and food security mainly stated access to forest area, consumption of forest resources and non-timber forest products. The findings could improve future planning and management of social forestry and enhance food security for rural development and community livelihood. Ultimately, the study proposed a framework of forest-food security linkages, specifically for social forestry areas.

“…The majority of global urban agglomerations, especially in developing countries, are densely populated and highly economically clustered, with declining amounts and quality of natural landscape, ecological status and agricultural land [10,25]. The types and structure of agricultural landscape, which play a key role in providing and maintaining ES, have changed greatly with rapid urbanization, representing the transformation of agricultural planting structure, agricultural production and farming mode, farming technology [59][60][61] and farmers' livelihoods [36]. What are the processes and modes of agricultural transformation in PUAs?…”

There is a gap in understanding the relationships between the transformation of agricultural landscapes, ecosystem services and human well-being in the peri-urban fringe of major cities worldwide. In this paper, we use semi-structured interviews, perception surveys, social surveys and field mapping to examine linkages between agricultural and landscape transition, ecosystem services and human well-being in five sample villages in Xi’an metropolitan zone, China. The results indicate that: (1) Agricultural change has increased landscape fragmentation, with a shift from grain to more profitable horticulture and nursery production. The farming system is more diversified and exhibits a multifunctional character. (2) This transformation has had a significant impact on the character of the agroecosystem. (3) The agricultural transformation towards greater multifunctionality has increased the supply of ecosystem services, including tourism-related activities, potentially improving human well-being. (4) Different combinations of activities in the sample villages were evaluated with respect to a well-being index, indicating the importance of combining horticulture and tourism. (5) Linkages identified between agricultural transformation, ecosystem services and human well-being may have significant implications for potential approaches within future studies.

“…The intensification process of the agricultural farming system is a response to the world population growth and the new food consumption pattern in recent decades [1,2]. In order to increase the crop productivity, a series of changes in mechanisation, the use of fertilisers and pesticides, and the establishment of mono-cropping have been implemented with the aim of maximised production [3,4].…”

No-Tillage Does Not Always Stop the Soil Degradation in Relation to Aggregation and Soil Carbon Storage in Mediterranean Olive Orchards

et al. 2022

Intensive tillage (CT) application in Mediterranean olive orchards has threatened soil quality and led to soil degradation. No tillage with bare soil (NT+H) has been considered as an alternative practice to this management system; however, there are discrepancies in the literature on the results of the application of this practice. Our main objective was to assess the impact of continuous tillage and zero tillage on soil aggregate stability, SOC and SON stocks. The study was conducted in a Mediterranean rainfed olive grove under semi-arid conditions in a Calcaric Cambisol, for 16 years evaluating complete soil profiles (0–120 cm depth). In the long-term, the management practices CT1 and NT+H significantly affected aggregate particle size by reducing the percentage of macro-aggregates (>250 μm) and promoting a higher number of micro-aggregates (<250 μm). Nevertheless, NT+H affected the Bw and BC horizons with the increase in the large macroaggregates (>2000 μm) percentage. In relation to these results, the soil structural stability indices showed a significant decrease in both Mean Weight Diameter (MWD) and Geometric Mean Diameter (GMD) values with losses of more than 50% with respect to the initial period (CT0) in the first two horizons. In the long term, both in CT1 and in NT+H, higher SOC concentrations were found in deep horizons showing a C redistribution in depth and important losses in TN values—while, in CT0, macroaggregates contained the highest CPC values, after the long-term both management practices (CT1 and NT+H) affected the C dynamics and were characterised by higher C pool in the microaggregates than in the macroaggregate fractions. Therefore, long-term NT+H and CT1 showed an SOC storage deterioration and increased susceptibility to decomposition, CO2 emissions and fertility losses. This trend i.e., decreases in SOC stocks following NT, confirms previous studies on the subject and points to nutrient balance impacts.
