TL;DR: In this article, an assessment on key ecological factors affecting runoff and soil erosion and the usefulness of plot-level monitoring of soil erosion was conducted by collecting runoff data from 14 runoff plots.

TL;DR: Three techniques called ranking, rating, and pairwise comparisons are described and used within the framework of a generic set of criteria and indicators applied in a case study involving a forest concession in Kalimantan, Indonesia, indicating that these techniques are effective tools both for selecting sets of criterion and indicators and eventually for prioritizing them.

TL;DR: This work proposes a framework for assessing system performance using indicators from the sustainable-livelihoods perspective, and develops an Integrated Interpretation of the Indicators.

TL;DR: A soft methodology is presented, called cognitive mapping, which can be used to assess the cross-indicator interaction, linkages, and connectivities of the indicators, and attempts to evaluate the overall cumulative impacts of all indicators as they impact sustainability directly and indirectly through their interactions with other indicators.

TL;DR: The Global Science Conference on Climate-Smart Agriculture (GSCA) as discussed by the authors focused on contributing to economic development, poverty reduction and food security; maintaining and enhancing the productivity and resilience of natural and agricultural ecosystem functions, thus building natural capital; and reducing trade-offs involved in meeting these goals.
