ACES examines how woodland loss is changing ecosystem services and wellbeing of the rural poor in Mozambique. It aims to integrate this information in to land use policy and practice to alleviate rural poverty in Mozambique. Poor rural households depend vitally on ecosystem services derived from African woodlands. However, little is known about the impacts of woodland loss and agricultural expansion on rural wellbeing. It is likely that gradual land-use change can cause abrupt changes to rural livelihoods, but the key ecological and social processes involved remain opaque. At all levels of land use policy and practice, there is a clear need for empirical evidence on the impacts of land-use change on rural wellbeing. ACES will deliver such evidence, within a framework designed for, and by, those involved in land use decisions. It will do so through a novel mixture of stakeholder participation in the construction of Bayesian Belief Networks, the collection of large scale socio-ecological data sets along gradients of land-use change, and their quantitative and qualitative analysis, leading to the creation of future scenarios of the impacts of land-use change. These methods allow the incorporation of different types of knowledge, a systems approach to complex realities, and the co-production of outputs that maximise impact. This work will move beyond the existing literature which describes how the rural poor rely on woodlands (Campbell and Byron '96) towards an integrated understanding of the socio-ecological processes at play. Our approach will inform debate and policy formulation that will directly influence the expansion of commercial agriculture, intensification of small-holder agriculture, rural development, and the likely trade-offs in management of woodlands for food, energy, timber, carbon and biodiversity. The project will employ four post doctoral researchers from Mozambique and Zimbabwe who will work in close collaboration with cognate researchers from 2 UK Universities, led by an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Southern and Northern institutions. A steering committee of experienced scientists and practitioners from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Brazil and Europe will provide strategic guidance and international policy linkages. The project builds on decades of work at three sites in Mozambique, and long involvement in pro-poor science-based policy on land management in Mozambique. It leverages 6 other projects in Mozambique with a value of >£2.1M, and international projects >£30M. In particular, this project is closely linked to a £1.9M investment in pro-poor land use in our study area, allowing our research to have a direct impact, as well as attracting stakeholder interest and the development of communities of practice.

Aces研究了林地损失如何改变莫桑比克农村贫困人口的生态系统服务和福祉。它旨在将这些信息整合到土地使用政策和实践中，以减轻莫桑比克的农村贫困。贫穷的崎toblow养家庭在非洲林地衍生出生态系统服务。然而，对于林地损失和农业扩张对粗糙福祉的影响知之甚少。土地利用变化很可能会导致对粗糙生计的突然变化，但是所涉及的关键生态和社会过程仍然不透明。在各个级别的土地使用政策和实践中，明确需要关于土地利用变化对崎bound依赖的影响的经验证据。 ACE将在涉及土地使用决策的框架内提供此类证据。它将通过利益相关者参与贝叶斯信仰网络的建设，大规模的社会生态数据集沿土地利用变化的梯度及其定量和定性分析的收集，从而创造了土地利用变化影响的未来情景。这些方法允许合并不同类型的知识，一种系统的复杂现实方法以及最大化影响的产出的共同生产。这项工作将超越现有文献，该文献描述了农村穷人如何依赖林地（Campbell and Byron '96），对对社会生态过程的综合理解。我们的方法将为辩论和政策制定提供信息，这些辩论和政策将直接影响商业农业的扩张，小型农业的强化，粗暴的发展以及林地管理粮食，能源，木材，碳，碳和生物多样性的可能性取舍。该项目将雇用来自莫桑比克和津巴布韦的四名博士研究人员，他们将与来自南部和北部机构的科学家跨学科的科学家团队领导的2所英国大学的同源研究人员密切合作。来自津巴布韦，莫桑比克，巴西和欧洲的经验丰富的科学家和从业者的指导委员会将提供战略指导和国际政策联系。该项目建立在莫桑比克的三个地点的数十年工作，并长期参与了莫桑比克的基于贫困科学的土地管理政策。它利用莫桑比克的其他6个项目，价值> 210万英镑，国际项目> 3000万英镑。特别是，该项目与我们的研究领域的贫困土地利用进行了190万英镑的投资，使我们的研究能够直接影响，并吸引利益相关者的兴趣和实践社区的发展。
