“…A colheita sustentável é essencial não apenas para a conservação das espécies de plantas, mas também para a subsistência de muitas pessoas da zona rural (Ghanbari, Vaezin, Shamekhi, Eastin, Lovrić, & Aghai, 2020). Entretanto, faz-se necessário mais pesquisa e desenvolvimento que levem à inovação e à transição para o gerenciamento de coprodução sustentável (Sheppard, Chamberlain, Agúndez, Bhattacharya, Chirwa, Gontcharov, Sagona, Shen, Tadesse & Mutke, 2020).…”

“…No campo social, notou-se a importância do pinhão para a qualidade de vida, por garantir subsistência, alimento aos animais e até benefícios físicos, tendo em vista o esforço para colheita corroborando com o exposto por Ghanbari, Vaezin, Shamekhi, Eastin, Lovrić & Aghai (2020). Por outro lado, o esforço pode ser demasiado pela utilização de equipamentos rudimentares e pela dificuldade do processo, que pode colocar em risco a vida dos extrativistas.…”

O estudo tem o objetivo de identificar os desafios e perspectivas da atividade extrativa do pinhão considerando o contexto da comunidade de Barro Preto, em Arvorezinha, RS, a partir das dimensões da sustentabilidade. A presente pesquisa possui uma abordagem qualitativa. Esta investigação situa-se no paradigma interpretativista. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se o conceito de Entrevista Conversacional para Contar Histórias - ECCOH e realizou-se contato com três extrativistas, bem como utilizou-se dados secundários. Foi realizada a análise temática para interpretação dos dados. Pode-se inferir que o tema ambiental é pouco abordado pelos participantes, ainda que seja uma temática recorrente e apontado na literatura como eminentemente atrelado à atividade agroextrativa. Sugere-se uma contribuição teórica ao desvendar o conceito de que a atividade extrativa contribui à sustentabilidade. Fica provada a possibilidade de a narrativa ser construída a partir de atores relevantes dentro deste processo; e ainda assim dimensões como a ‘ambiental’ e ‘política’ parecerem pouco exploradas na discussão.

The occupations of the local people in the target watershed are primarily based on combinations of animal husbandry, farming, carpet-weaving, beekeeping, and cultivation or extraction of forest products [18,19].…”

“…Based on our knowledge, information about the population structure and regeneration status of woody species in zones subjected to a different degree of human interventions at the Arasbaran biosphere reserve in Iran is rare. Local human populations depend on forests to meet livelihood needs through livestock grazing, tourism, and other activities [18]. The impact of these activities on species diversity is the main management challenge for sustainable forest management.…”

Proper understanding of the diversity and natural structure of woody species and the impacts of human interventions are prerequisites for maintaining the remaining forests as well as restoration of deforested and degraded areas. This research was conducted to document the impact of human interventions on the population structure and the species diversity in the Arasbaran biosphere reserve in Iran due to the limited research and insufficient knowledge. The study area was divided into three adjacent sampling areas of low, medium, and high destruction intensity. Thirty fixed area 0.1-hectare plots were sampled to evaluate the composition, diversity, and species richness. Oak (Quercus macranthera), hawthorn (Crataegus meyeri), and maple (Acer campestre) were the top three dominant tree species at all the sites. The relative dominance of the top three species comprised 87.8% of the basal area of all species. The relative abundance of the top three species accounted for 68.1% of the species. The mean density and basal areas per tree across all three destruction statuses were 145 ± 59 stems ha−1 and 0.01 ± 0.005 m2 ha−1, respectively. The mean height of trees was different at low and high disturbance sites (4.6 ± 0.96 m and 3.37 ± 1.74 m, respectively). Due to the impact of human interventions on forest structure, composition, and diversity, conservation programs are recommended for implementation and in collaboration with local communities to employ management aimed at providing services for local people while restoring these forests. Basic ecological studies such as this study are the foundation to begin developing policies and management that meet multiple ecological and social goals.

“…They also provide various NTFPs which improve household food security both under normal circumstances and during periods of food scarcity. NTFPs contribute significantly to household income (Vinceti et al, 2018;Mugido & Shackleton, 2019) and supplement a part of the available energy that local populations need for development (Zhu et al, 2019;Zubair et al, 2019;Ghanbari et al, 2020;Sheppard et al, 2020). The valuation, conservation, and sustainable management of trees is key to adapting to and mitigating climate change of arid regions.…”
