TL;DR: Landscape compositions that can mitigate trade-offs under optimal land-use allocation but also show that intensive monocultures always lead to higher profits are identified, suggesting that targeted landscape planning is needed to increase land- use efficiency while ensuring socio-ecological sustainability.

TL;DR: This experiment provides evidence that N, P, and K all limit forest plants growing on a relatively fertile soil in the lowland tropics, with the strongest evidence for limitation by K among seedlings, saplings, and poles.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies that quantified changes in soil C stocks with land use in the tropics found that field observations are highly unrepresentative of most tropical landscapes, and strongly caution against extrapolating average values of land-cover change effects on soilC stocks to regions that differ in biophysical conditions.

TL;DR: A systematic and comprehensive literature review of all ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations, including several (genetic, medicinal and ornamental resources, information functions) not included in previous systematic reviews, finds thatOil palm plantations generally have reduced ecosystem functioning compared to forests.

TL;DR: Using the most comprehensive quantification of land-use change and associated bundles of ecosystem functions, services and economic benefits to date, it is shown that Indonesian smallholders predominantly choose farm portfolios with high economic productivity but low ecological value.
