文摘
- •
Shifting cultivators in the tropics are replacing natural forest fallows with orchards.
- •
We compare biodiversity, ecosystem services and potential revenue from fallows and orchards.
- •
Orchards provide equivalent levels of ecosystem services, but lower biodiversity
- •
Economic gains from orchards are small suggesting an income diversification strategy.
- •
Tree diversity in the managed landscape is maintained by retention of both fallows and orchards.
