Profil

Zusammenfassung

Oliver Mußhoff erforscht Entscheidungsprozesse von Landwirten unter wirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Unsicherheiten. Seine Expertise umfasst die Analyse von Landnutzungswechseln, Risikomanagement in der Landwirtschaft sowie die Adoption neuer Technologien und Praktiken durch Landwirte. Er verbindet ökonomische Modellierung mit empirischen Studien, um zu verstehen, wie Landwirte zwischen Rentabilität und ökologischen Zielen abwägen.

• Trade-offs between multifunctionality and profit in tropical smallholder landscapes

  2020

  Nature Communications · 775 Zitationen · DOI

  Land-use transitions can enhance the livelihoods of smallholder farmers but potential economic-ecological trade-offs remain poorly understood. Here, we present an interdisciplinary study of the environmental, social and economic consequences of land-use transitions in a tropical smallholder landscape on Sumatra, Indonesia. We find widespread biodiversity-profit trade-offs resulting from land-use transitions from forest and agroforestry systems to rubber and oil palm monocultures, for 26,894 aboveground and belowground species and whole-ecosystem multidiversity. Despite variation between ecosystem functions, profit gains come at the expense of ecosystem multifunctionality, indicating far-reaching ecosystem deterioration. We identify landscape compositions that can mitigate trade-offs under optimal land-use allocation but also show that intensive monocultures always lead to higher profits. These findings suggest that, to reduce losses in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, changes in economic incentive structures through well-designed policies are urgently needed.

• Land-use choices follow profitability at the expense of ecological functions in Indonesian smallholder landscapes

  2016

  Nature Communications · 293 Zitationen · DOI

  Smallholder-dominated agricultural mosaic landscapes are highlighted as model production systems that deliver both economic and ecological goods in tropical agricultural landscapes, but trade-offs underlying current land-use dynamics are poorly known. Here, using the most comprehensive quantification of land-use change and associated bundles of ecosystem functions, services and economic benefits to date, we show that Indonesian smallholders predominantly choose farm portfolios with high economic productivity but low ecological value. The more profitable oil palm and rubber monocultures replace forests and agroforests critical for maintaining above- and below-ground ecological functions and the diversity of most taxa. Between the monocultures, the higher economic performance of oil palm over rubber comes with the reliance on fertilizer inputs and with increased nutrient leaching losses. Strategies to achieve an ecological-economic balance and a sustainable management of tropical smallholder landscapes must be prioritized to avoid further environmental degradation.
