“…Accordingly, agroforestry implemented on former fallow land as in our site affects biodiversity positively. Agroforests also indirectly benefit biodiversity by reducing the need for conversion of forests into cropland [11,20,118]. Furthermore, by connecting areas of natural habitats, agroforestry plays a key role for biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes [20,67,119].…”

“…As a response to the rising demand for food, agriculture is intensified, which can result in soil quality deterioration, and expanded to forest landscapes [7][8][9]. The consequent deforestation causes loss of biodiversity and regulating ecosystem functions, and thereby aggravates the vulnerability of ecological systems [10,11]. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates this ecological vulnerability and threatens agricultural productivity due to rising temperatures, drought-related stress, and changes in precipitation patterns [12,13].…”

“…Along with Brazil's other PA categories, such as national parks and biological reserves, ILs not only safeguard indigenous people and their traditional knowledge, but also protect ecosystems. 1 , 7 , 8 , 9 There are 332 officially designated ILs in the Brazilian Amazon, with another 92 in earlier stages of legal and administrative approval (see Note S1 and Figure S1 ). 3 However, many of these areas are also known to contain valuable undeveloped mineral deposits (including a range of commodities, such as gold, copper, and iron ore; see Note S1 and Table S1 ).…”
