“…A similar and complementary systematic map found a slightly different result, where provisioning services were most frequently studied (42%) [50]. The greater proportion of either regulating or provisioning services is a general trend in agroecology, and also more broadly, ecosystem services literature [127][128][129].…”

(1) Brazil has great potential to expand the area under agroforestry, and thereby simultaneously enhance multiple ecosystem services. However, divergent interests are currently polarized between drastic environmental deregulation and public resource allocation to chemical-intensive land use versus conservation and sustainable agriculture. This highlights an urgent need for a comprehensive overview of the evidence of the benefits to society generated by agroforestry across Brazil. (2) We present a systematic map of the scientific evidence related to the effects of agroforestry on ecosystem services in Brazil. (3) Reviewing 158 peer-reviewed articles, published in international scientific journals (database: Web of Science), we identified a disproportionate emphasis on the Atlantic Forest. Very little research has been published on the Cerrado savanna, Pampa grasslands and Pantanal wetlands. Regulating services were much more frequently studied (85%) than provisioning (13%), while cultural services represent a major gap. A consistent positive effect of agroforestry was demonstrated for soil quality, habitat and food provisioning. Trade-offs were demonstrated for soils and habitats. (4) Our analysis identifies high-priority gaps given their critical importance for human well-being which should be filled: agroforestry effects on water provision and regulation. Moreover, they should assess other ES such as erosion control, flood protection and pest control to enable a more reliable inference about trade-offs.

“…Furthermore, based on this new paradigm, the various techniques and practices for sustainable rangeland management and their implementation, are positioned in the reproduction of the socio-ecosystem. This has been championed in the sustainable agronomic techniques recommended by [62][63][64], in the socio-technical practices proposed by [58] and [24], and in the "payment for ecosystem services" [1,[65][66][67][68].…”

The objective of this study was to analyse the sustainability of different livestock systems in the Brazilian Pampa biome, from the perspective of the rangeland dilemma. We used the indicator-based framework for evaluating the sustainability of natural resource management systems (MESMIS). These were constructed for social, economic and environmental dimensions, and they were measured across a study suite of 115 establishments, representing the rangeland livestock system (RLS), intensive livestock system, and livestock–agricultural system (ALS). Indicator averages were compared between three systems via ANOVA and Tukey test. The results allocated a higher level of sustainability to RLS. When the three land-use systems were analysed across the dimensions, significant differences were found in their environmental sustainability, with the ALS presenting poorer results. Within each dimension, there were significant differences in the indicators for production systems, social participation and capital flow. We discussed two main points: the results found through the concept of the rangeland dilemma, by exploring its conditions, in addition to exposing the concept of functional integrity. In conclusion, an approach to develop policies for the Pampa is to recognize the rangeland as a “common good”, to generate income and stimulate the local economy.

“…The decline in the supply of ecosystem services is problematic since the demand for them continues to grow in the face of population growth and the adoption of current consumption and production patterns (Dominati, Patterson & Mackay, 2010;Bennett, Peterson & Gordon, 2009). In response to this observation of degradation, in the last decades several institutions and researchers have directed efforts towards research in ecosystem services, seeking to promote the advancement of knowledge and the development of mechanisms capable of answering the main questions on the subject (Seppelt, Dormann, Eppink, Lautenbach, & Schmidt, 2011;Balvanera et al, 2012;McDonough, Hutchinson, Moore & Hutchinson, 2017;Jiang, 2017;Parron et al, 2019).…”

Objetivo: Identificar potenciais serviços ambientais associados aos diferentes usos e ocupação do solo em uma bacia hidrográfica urbana em Campinas, São Paulo.Metodologia: Espacialização em software SIG do uso e ocupação do solo seguida de análise qualitativa e quantitativa dos dados com verificação em campo. Neste levantamento assume-se que, o percentual de provável oferta de serviços ambientais em uma bacia hidrográfica se associa exclusivamente à tipologia de uso e ocupação na mesma.Relevância: O avanço urbano, desenvolvimento industrial e práticas agrícolas insustentáveis têm alterado a quantidade e qualidade dos serviços ambientais providos pelos ecossistemas naturais, reflexo das modificações do uso da terra.Resultados: 42,3% da área total da bacia apresenta condições de uso e ocupação do solo capaz de fornecer serviços componentes das quatro categorias de serviços. A categoria de fragmentos florestais é tal cuja provisão de serviços se dá em maior quantidade na bacia de estudo, com percentual de provisão de 88,9%, seguida da categoria de área verde (66,7%), atividade agropecuária e recursos hídricos (63% cada) e solo exposto (15%).Contribuições: O diagnóstico de serviços ecossistêmicos e ambientais na bacia do Ribeirão das Pedras poderá subsidiar programas de Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais e auxiliar na implementação de padrões de gestão para a conservação e recuperação ambiental.Conclusão: O método aplicado para levantamento de potencial fornecimento de serviços ecossistêmicos e ambientais por bacias hidrográficas possibilitou o entendimento sobre as relações entre uso e ocupação do solo e serviços ofertados bem como das áreas prioritárias para ação do poder municipal.
