Looking beyond land-use and land-cover change
Coffee Landscapes Shaping the Anthropocene
Coffee was introduced to Mexico in the late eighteenth century, but it was not until the late nineteenth century that wealthy European immigrants purchased "unregistered" land and invested in coffee cultivation. Displaced farmers, mostly indigenous, returned to the region as plantation workers and learned how to cultivate coffee. After the Mexican Revolution and when land reform reached the southern states, small farmers began cultivating coffee.…

Climate change mitigation and agriculture
The consensus on anthropogenic global climate change is as complete as any technical issue can be, to be sure. The quantitative details are mired in the uncertainty stemming from the nature of the
Global food security, biodiversity conservation and the future of agricultural intensification
Anticipating Critical Transitions
All Change Research on early warning signals for critical transitions in complex systems such as ecosystems, climate, and global finance systems recently has been gathering pace. At the same time, studies on complex networks are starting to reveal which architecture may cause systems to be vulnerable to systemic collapse. Scheffer et al. (p. 344 ) review how previously isolated lines of work can be connected, conclude that many critical transitio…
Syndromes of Production in Agriculture
Agricultural syndromes of production can be recognized in both historical and contemporary times. Recent literature in ecology focuses on alternative ecological states and the tipping points that may separate them, suggesting a point of view that "regime" changes will happen at those points. In agricultural ecosystems the idea of a regime is equivalent to a syndrome of production and there is no reason not to expect that regime switches will occu…

The agroecological matrix as alternative to the land-sparing/agriculture intensification model
Among the myriad complications involved in the current food crisis, the relationship between agriculture and the rest of nature is one of the most important yet remains only incompletely analyzed. Particularly in tropical areas, agriculture is frequently seen as the antithesis of the natural world, where the problem is framed as one of minimizing land devoted to agriculture so as to devote more to conservation of biodiversity and other ecosystem …

Nature's Matrix
Landscapes are frequently seen as fragments of natural habitat surrounded by a 'sea' of agriculture. But recent ecological theory shows that the nature of these fragments is not nearly as important for conservation as is the nature of the matrix of agriculture that surrounds them. Local extinctions from conservation fragments are inevitable and must be balanced by migrations if massive extinction is to be avoided. High migration rates only occur …
Effects of Biodiversity on Ecosystem Functioning
Humans are altering the composition of biological communities through a variety of activities that increase rates of species invasions and species extinctions, at all scales, from local to global. These changes in components of the Earth's biodiversity cause concern for ethical and aesthetic reasons, but they also have a strong potential to alter ecosystem properties and the goods and services they provide to humanity. Ecological experiments, obs…

Tragedy of the Commons
The tragedy of the commons has been an influential metaphor in the environmental movement, not only referring to the misappropriation of common property resources by private producers, but also incorporating a variety of other issues into the metaphorical commons. Criticisms of the thesis have concentrated on the facts of how humans manage classical common property resources in the real world. Yet the most provocative aspects of the metaphor are …
Management of insect pests and weeds
Cuba and the dilemma of modern agriculture
Environmental Problems Arising from National Revolutions in the Third World
Symptoms of imperialism's legacy abound in Nicaragua. First, and perhaps foremost for the short term, is the lack of a significant cash base. Clearly a big cash flow guarantees nothing with regard to development, but the lack of even a trickle can have profound effects since possibilities for initiating projects and programs are severely curtailed. From an environmental point of view this can be disastrous. For example, in 1987 the state forestry…
