This Practitioners’ Guide provides the step-by-step instructions and checklists that will guide a mapping team through a mapping exercise.
El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la emergencia de Eryngium horridum Malme (caraguatá), a partir de las semillas presentes en el banco de suelo de un pastizal templado de la Argentina, en el partido de Magdalena. Se seleccionó un sitio con alta densidad de la maleza, antes de que comenzara la diseminación natural de las semillas de E.
El pastoreo o su exclusión, altera el banco de semillas en pastizales. Se analizó el efecto del pastoreo sobre el banco de semillas de la estepa de halófitas de un pastizal de la Pampa Deprimida.

Appropriation of public lands associated with agricultural frontier expansion is a longstanding occurrence in the Amazon that has resulted in a highly skewed land-tenure structure in spite of recent state efforts to recognize tenure rights of indigenous people and smallholders living in or nearby forests.
Achieving forest conservation together with poverty alleviation and equity is an unending challenge in the tropics. The Makira REDD+ pilot project located in northeastern Madagascar is a well-suited case to explore this challenge in conditions of extreme poverty and climatic vulnerability.
Land use governance in the Brazilian Amazon has undergone significant changes in the last decade. At the national level, law enforcement capacity has increased and downstream industries linked to commodity chains responsible for deforestation have begun to monitor some of their suppliers’ impacts on forests.
Soil degradation in India is estimated to be occurring on 147 million hectares (Mha) of land, including 94 Mha from water erosion, 16 Mha from acidification, 14 Mha from flooding, 9 Mha from wind erosion, 6 Mha from salinity, and 7 Mha from a combination of factors.
The Australian National Soil Research, Development and Extension Strategy identifies soil security as a foundation for the current and future productivity and profitability of Australian agriculture. Current agricultural production is attenuated by soil degradation. Future production is highly dependent on the condition of Australian soils.
