Smallholder Specialization Strategies along the Forest Transition Curve in Southwestern Amazonia
研究了玻利维亚潘多和巴西阿克雷两处亚马逊地区小农的生计策略，发现森林覆盖率高的潘多更依赖森林收入，而阿克雷地区保护区内森林依赖度高于区外，区外更依赖畜牧业。
Rural specialization strategies can be examined within the forest transition framework. We compared smallholder livelihood strategies between neighboring southwestern Amazonian sites at different stages along the forest transition curve. Surveys of 243 households in Pando, Bolivia and Acre, Brazil, within and outside of two major protected areas, confirmed a higher reliance on forest-based income in forest-rich Pando than in Acre. In Acre, forest reliance was higher in the protected area than outside, where forest cover was lower and households were more livestock-dependent. Country context and protected area status were critical to explaining different smallholder specialization strategies in similar biophysical environments.
