Satisfying this need asks for a decision-making processes awareness of the specific environmental, social and economic features of the territory itself. Considering the challenge to linking effectiveness and ef ...

Abstract:
... Choice making is often susceptible to processing strategies, such as attribute non-attendance (ANA) where respondents make their choices based on only a subset of attributes. Such strategies can be the reason for heterogeneity in preferences and need to be detached from regular taste heterogeneity. A common approach to accommodate heterogeneity in the presence of ANA strategies is the Latent Class ...

Abstract:
... The disconnect between land managers bearing the cost of restoration and land management, and society benefitting from the ecosystem services flowing from natural capital, leads to sub-optimal investments in restoration and land management. To bridge this disconnect a system involving easement agreements is proposed whereby the issuer of the easement (the investor) is buying the right to determine ...

Abstract:
... A vibrant literature has emerged around Bourdieusian-inspired notions of the ‘good farmer’ and how such concepts might aid our understandings of agriculture and agricultural change. To date, however, studies of the good farmer have been framed largely in relation to land management, with little consideration given to riparian environments which make up a significant part of the farmed landscape.

Abstract:
... Secondary (or recent) woodlands, whose development is favoured by massive farmland abandonment, are increasingly seen as promising habitats that limit losses of biodiversity and ecosystem processes. The importance of temporal forest continuity (i.e. the duration of an uninterrupted forest state) for conservation of the forest fauna has been demonstrated for several taxa, but its influence on funct ...

Abstract:
... Silvopastoral systems are sustainable production systems characterized by greater biodiversity and multifunctionality, compared with other livestock production methods. The complex functional dynamics, however, make silvopastoralism a difficult construct to design and study. The key design criterion for these complex land use practices is to optimize the use of spatial, temporal, and physical reso ...
