Components of landscape matrix | Ecological benefits | Socio-economic benefits | Implication for climate change adaptation |
Bamboo tickets in the highland | -Regulate micro-climate | -Income generation | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people and ecosystems |
-Reduce soil erosion | -House and fence construction | ||
Eucalyptus woodlots | -Climate regulation | -Income generation | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people |
-Fuelwood and poles | |||
Agroforestry (Parkland and homestead) | -Carbon sequestration | -Improve food security by providing alternative food during drought | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people and ecosystems |
-Increases soil fertility | -Income, fuelwood | ||
-Increase agrobiodiversity | |||
Forest patches in agricultural landscapes | -Regulate micro-climate | -Reduce erosion | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people and ecosystems |
-Habitat provision | -Habitat for wildlife | ||
Woodlands | -Regulate climate | -Fuelwood, NTFPs | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people and ecosystems |
-Habitat provision | |||
Mountain forests | -Regulate water quality and quantity | -Timber and NTFPs | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people and ecosystems |
-Fuelwood | |||
Managed farm plots | -Agricultural intensification rather than expansion which leads to deforestation | Boost food production and enhance food security | Builds resilience and adaptive capacity of people and ecosystems |
