• Environmental Income and Rural Livelihoods: A Global-Comparative Analysis (2014, background): “Conceptual discussions of the role and potential contributions of forests to livelihoods include Angelsen and Wunder (2003), Belcher and Schreckenberg (2007), de Sherbinin et al. (2008), Shackleton, Shackleton, and Shanley (2011); and Sunderlin et al. (2005).”
• From Subsistence to Safety Nets and Cash Income: Exploring the Diverse Values of Non-timber Forest Products for Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation (2011, background): “As such, relatively few households find themselves in this position because of the relative scarcity of NTFPswith large external markets and the higher barriers to entry for such products (Marshall et al. 2006; Belcher and Schreckenberg 2007).”
• Wild Edible Fruits: A Systematic Review of an Under-Researched Multifunctional NTFP (Non-Timber Forest Product) (2019, background): “However, more recent literature [115,135] finds no consistent relationship between poverty and NTFP use, and that evidence in support of NTFP poverty traps is scarce [132].”
• The management of tree genetic resources and the livelihoods of rural communities in the tropics: non-timber forest products, smallholder agroforestry practices and tree commodity crops (2014, background): “Experience shows, however, that the concept of commercialisation and conservation proceeding in tandem is often illusory (Belcher and Schreckenberg, 2007), as more beneficial livelihood outcomes are generally associated with more detrimental environmental outcomes (Kusters et al., 2006).”
• Trade, harvest, and conservation of caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) in the Himalayas (2013, background): “For management of open access resources, a necessary first step for sustainable management will be the creation of institutions governing resource access and use (Belcher and Schreckenberg, 2007).”
