TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework highlighting the central role of institutions in mediating environment-society relationships is proposed. But the authors focus on the implications of intra-community dynamics and ecological heterogeneity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw new theorisation together with cases from African, Asian and Latin American settings, and link critical studies of nature with critical agrarian studies, to ask: To what extent and in what ways do "green grabs" constitute new forms of appropriation of nature? How and when do circulations of green capital become manifest in actual appropriations on the ground, through what political and discursive dynamics? What are the implications for ecologies, landscapes and livelihoods? And who is gaining and who is losing, how are agricultural social relations, rights and authority

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new forest-savanna ecology and history, which they refer to as a forest island in regional social and political history, and a forest gain as historical evidence of vegetation change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a set of four general principles that underlie high-quality knowledge co-production for sustainability research, and offer practical guidance on how to engage in meaningful co-productive practices, and how to evaluate their quality and success.
