Livelihood adaptations to climate variability: insights from farming households in Ghana (2014, result): “These claims corroborate other studies (e.g. Enfors and Gordon 2008; Laube et al. 2012) suggesting that small-scale irrigation among smallholders provides additional on-farm income sources during the dry season and thus helps to enhance the resilience of vulnerable households.”
Resilience in ecology: Abstraction, distraction, or where the action is? (2014, background): “described for social-ecological systems (Allison and Hobbs, 2004; Carpenter and Brock, 2008; Cinner, 2011; Enfors and Gordon, 2008), however, less emphasis has been placed on”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “Management practices connect the elements of the mosaic: compost and waste fertilize fields and paddies; coppicing and pollarding in the woodlands provide wood for charcoal and fodder for livestock.”
The importance of social drivers in the resilient provision of ecosystem services (2011, background): “Examples of factors that can maintain poverty traps with respect to ecosystem services include hunger, water supply, disease, poverty, population growth, environmental degradation, and poor governance (Sanchez et al., 2007; Enfors and Gordon, 2008; Bonds et al., 2009).”
