Rethinking Synergies and Trade‐Offs at the Forest‐Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Nexus—A Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forests play a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yet their contributions are often misunderstood and inadequately addressed in the scientific discourse. This study clarifies the intricate relationships between forests and the SDGs by examining the contextual factors that influence this interplay.

Working with Tropical Meromorphic Functions of One Variable [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
In this paper, we survey and study definitions and properties of tropical polynomials, tropical rational functions and in general, tropical meromorphic functions, emphasizing practical techniques that can really carry out computations. For instance, we introduce maximally represented tropical polynomials and tropical polynomials in compact forms to ...

Is the Implementation of Cocoa Companies' Forest Policies on Track to Effectively and Equitably Address Deforestation in West Africa?

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical forests play a crucial role in achieving the sustainable development goals by contributing to climate stability, conserving biodiversity and sustaining livelihoods. However, forests are disappearing due to agricultural expansion. In West Africa, cocoa production is a major driver of deforestation.

Tropical linear spaces and tropical convexity [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
In classical geometry, a linear space is a space that is closed under linear combinations. In tropical geometry, it has long been a consensus that tropical varieties defined by valuated matroids are the tropical analogue of linear spaces. It is not difficult to see that each such space is tropically convex, i.e.

Enhancing the Adoption Intensity of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Southeast Nigeria: The Role of Education and Mediating Factors of Trust and Belief

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between farmers' education and the adoption of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices remains unclear in the literature. Additionally, research on the mechanisms underlying this relationship remains limited. This study investigates how farmers' education influences SLM adoption intensity, focusing on mediating factors of ...

Tropical surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
We present tools and definitions to study abstract tropical manifolds in dimension 2, which we call simply tropical surfaces. This includes explicit descriptions of intersection numbers of 1-cycles, normal bundles to some curves and tropical Chern cycles and numbers.
