Forest landscape restoration (FLR) has a central place in current global debates about the sustainability of natural resources, climate change mitigation and adaptation, livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. FLR approaches support the involvement of different social actors in participatory decision-making processes. We conducted a bibliometric analysis research to provide an overview of scientific publications in forest restoration, FLR and local stakeholders (LS) studies, and, specifically, examine if the studies (1) recognised the relevance of the local level actors and (2) collected primary and/or secondary data on LS using different methods from related publications since 2000. We used the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus as bibliographic sources. We analysed five main research aspects: (1) publication year, (2) most productive countries according to the total number of publications, (3) most influential journals and cited papers, (4) most influential authors ranked by number of publications, their respective organisations and country collaborations, and (5) a co-occurrence analysis of countries’ collaborations and keywords. We found that forest restoration, FLR and LS studies have been growing over the years, especially in the last decade. However, only 50% (99 records) of the studies recognised the relevance of the local level actors and also collected primary and/or secondary data through different methods. Authors from organisations in North and South America, and Oceania were the ones with the most publications, with only 20% (4 authors) of the top 20 authors having degrees in social sciences. Studies about “ecosystem services”, “ecological restoration”, “natural regeneration”, “livelihoods”, “Bonn challenge” and “governance” have become the main subject of research along the years within the scope of FLR at the local level. Finally, the results showed the gaps that should be considered in future research to improve the involvement and more direct participation of LS, as well as the participation of interdisciplinary and social science researchers in FLR research teams.
Esta pesquisa diagnosticou o conhecimento empírico dos agricultores do município de Campina do Monte Alegre - SP sobre a classificação e uso agrícola dos solos e o correlacionou ao Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos (SiBCS) e à classificação da capacidade de uso das terras. A pesquisa etnopedológica englobou 20 áreas agrícolas e 17 agricultores foram entrevistados. A metodologia consistiu nas seguintes etapas: 1) elaboração do roteiro semiestruturado e realização das entrevistas; 2) amostragem e descrição morfológica dos solos; 3) sistematização e análise de conteúdo das entrevistas, com auxílio do software ATLAS.ti e 4) elaboração do mapa pedológico. Os principais atributos etnopedológicos utilizados pelos agricultores foram: cor, textura, consistência, fertilidade, acidez, teor de matéria orgânica, pedregosidade e plantas indicadoras. As classes etnopedológicas identificadas foram: “Terra Vermelha ou de Campo” (Latossolos Vermelhos, Argissolos Vermelhos e Argissolos Vermelho-Amarelos); “Terra Roxa” (Nitossolos Vermelhos e Latossolos Vermelhos); “Terra Branca” (Plintossolos Argilúvicos; Gleissolos Melânicos e Gleissolos Háplicos) e “Terra de Areia” (Argissolos Bruno-Acinzentados e Argissolos Vermelho-Amarelos). As classes etnopedológicas “Terra Vermelha ou de Campo” e “Terra Roxa” predominaram nas áreas agrícolas visitadas e, conforme o sistema de capacidade de uso das terras, foram classificadas como IIe,s e IIIe,s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
