Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
Open AccessMateus Silva, André Braga J Junqueira et al.ARTICLEPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET2026
Ecosystem restoration is key to jointly address the biodiversity, climate, and social inequality crises. In Brazil, large-scale seed-based restoration is gaining momentum, but a national framework to match seed sources with planting sites is still lacking, undermining long-term success. We developed the first Seed Transfer Zones (STZs) for Brazil using 25 environmental variables. We assessed restoration supply and demand within each STZ and proje…
Livelihood resilience: The role of social‐ecological filters in a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System of southern Chile
Open AccessJulián Caviedes, André Braga J Junqueira et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025
The global agrifood system faces significant threats due to rapid and interconnected social‐ecological changes, including climate change, land‐use shifts, demographic changes and emerging diseases. Small‐scale farmers are among the most vulnerable groups to these changes due to their direct dependence on their environment. The resilience of small‐scale farming livelihoods may be influenced by several social‐ecological filters, which are the coupl…

Understanding Multidirectional Climate Change Impacts on Local Livelihoods through the Lens of Local Ecological Knowledge: A Study in Western Amazonia
Mariana de Oliveira Estevo, André Braga J Junqueira et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2022Cited by: 3References: 5
Climate-related changes taking place in Amazonia substantially impact social-ecological systems, affecting local livelihoods strongly reliant on natural resources. Here, we investigate climate change impacts on different livelihood activities in western Amazonia, through the lens of local ecological knowledge. We conducted semi-structured interviews and surveys with ∼400 residents from 24 communities spread across a ∼600 km stretch of the Juruá R…
Adaptive Management Strategies of Local Communities in Two Amazonian Floodplain Ecosystems in the Face of Extreme Climate Events
Open AccessJulia Vieira Da Cunha Ávila, Charles R Clement et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2021
In Amazonia, changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events are occurring and expected to intensify, affecting food security with subsequent social and political problems. We conducted semi-structured interviews in communities of the mid-Solimões River basin (Amazonas, Brazil). Our questions were designed to construct seasonal calendars with residents ( ribeirinhos) to understand climatic patterns and changes in livelihood activ…
Archaeology and ethnography demonstrate a human origin for Amazonian Dark Earths
Morgan Schmidt, Manuel Arroyo-Kalin et al.OTHER2021
Archaeological research provides clear evidence that the widespread formation of Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) in tropical lowland South America was concentrated in the Late Holocene, an outcome of sharp demographic growth that peaked towards 1000 BP. In their recent paper, however, Silva et al. propose that the high fertility of ADE is not of anthropic origin but instead the result of alluvial deposition starting in the Middle Holocene (8200-4200…

Interactions between Climate Change and Infrastructure Projects in Changing Water Resources: An Ethnobiological Perspective from the Daasanach, Kenya
Open AccessAndré Braga J Junqueira, André Braga Junqueira et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2021
The fast and widespread environmental changes that have intensified in the last decades are bringing disproportionate impacts to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. Changes that affect water resources are particularly relevant for subsistence-based peoples, many of whom already suffer from constraints regarding reliable access to safe water. Particularly in areas where water is scarce, climate change is expected to amplify existing stresses…

Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition
Open AccessCarolina Levis, Flavia R C Costa et al.ARTICLEScience2017
Past human influences on Amazonian forest The marks of prehistoric human societies on tropical forests can still be detected today. Levis et al. performed a basin-wide comparison of plant distributions, archaeological sites, and environmental data. Plants domesticated by pre-Columbian peoples are much more likely to be dominant in Amazonian forests than other species. Furthermore, forests close to archaeological sites often have a higher abundanc…

Anthropogenic soils in the Central Amazon: From Categories to a Continuum
Open AccessJames Angus Fraser, James Fraser et al.ARTICLEArea2011Cited by: 25References: 15
Amazonian Dark Earths (ADE), one of the best-known examples of anthropogenic (man-made) soils, are the result of Amerindian settlements in the pre-Columbian period. ADE are highly variable in terms of their size, shape, depth and physical and chemical make-up. Scholars tend to divide ADE into two categories: terra preta and terra mulata. The former are dark and highly fertile soils replete with ceramic shards, indicating former areas of habitatio…
