We describe an ecological-economic land-use change model as an integrated, exploratory tool used to analyze how tropical land-use change affects ecological and socio-economic functions. The model analysis seeks to determine what kind of landscape mosaic can improve the ensemble of ecosystem functioning, biodiversity, and economic benefit based on the synergies and trade-offs that we have to account for. More specifically, (1) how do specific ecosystem functions, such as carbon storage, and economic functions, such as household consumption, relate to each other? (2) How do external factors, such as the output prices of crops, affect these relationships? (3) How do these relationships change when production inefficiency differs between smallholder farmers and learning is incorporated? We initialize the ecological-economic model with artificially generated land-use maps parameterized to our study region. The economic sub-model simulates smallholder land-use management decisions based on a profit maximization assumption. Each household determines factor inputs for all household fields and decides on land-use change based on available wealth. The ecological sub-model includes a simple account of carbon sequestration in above-ground and below-ground vegetation. We demonstrate model capabilities with results on household consumption and carbon sequestration from different output price and farming efficiency scenarios. The overall results reveal complex interactions between the economic and ecological spheres. For instance, model scenarios with heterogeneous crop-specific household productivity reveal a comparatively high inertia of land-use change. Our model analysis even shows such an increased temporal stability in landscape composition and carbon stocks of the agricultural area under dynamic price trends. These findings underline the utility of ecological-economic models, such as ours, to act as exploratory tools which can advance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the trade-offs and synergies of ecological and economic functions in tropical landscapes."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0190506"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29351290"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15038"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59163"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B10: Landschaftsbezogene Bewertung der ökologischen und sozioökonomischen Funktionen von Regenwald- Transformationssystemen in Sumatra (Indonesien)"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Zentrum für Biodiversität und Nachhaltige Landnutzung"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.subject.ddc","570"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.subject.mesh","Arecaceae"],["dc.subject.mesh","Carbon Sequestration"],["dc.subject.mesh","Conservation of Natural Resources"],["dc.subject.mesh","Crops, Agricultural"],["dc.subject.mesh","Ecosystem"],["dc.subject.mesh","Models, Theoretical"],["dc.subject.mesh","Palm Oil"],["dc.subject.mesh","Tropical Climate"],["dc.title","Land-use change in oil palm dominated tropical landscapes-An agent-based model to explore ecological and socio-economic trade-offs."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The vast majority of the local residents in our study area believe that the expansion of oil palm reduced the flow regulation function of a watershed causing more frequent flooding in the rainy season and water scarcity problems during the dry season. The research aimed to characterize surface runoff as an indicator of water flow regulation and simulate effectiveness of different mitigation options for surface runoff management in a watershed with rapid expansion of oil palm plantations. Our study started with plot experiments to characterize surface runoff used to adapt curve number (CN) values of the different land-use types required for SWAT modeling. Further, we carried out small watershed experiments to adapt the CN values of different mitigation options. The SWAT model performance was in satisfactory agreement with the Nash–Sutcliff efficiency values of 0.88 and 0.82 for calibration and validation, respectively. After successful model calibration and validation, we simulated the effectiveness of the following mitigation options: (a) frond pile management, and (b) frond pile management and silt pit treatment with a density of 20 units per ha. Both options were chosen for their simple construction enhancing their adoption and sustainable application. Frond pile management and the combination of frond pile and silt pit treatment reduced total surface runoff in a watershed scale from 151 mm to 141 mm (10{\\%}) and from 151 mm to 109 mm (31{\\%}), respectively. The mitigation options which were evaluated in this study were ecologically effective in regulating water flow through reduction of surface runoff. They were also economically viable, because the mitigation options increased the availability of water which can increase oil palm production while the implementation costs are low due to the simple design using frond leaves residues abundantly available onsite. Due to the fulfillment of at least two sustainability pillars, these mitigation options should be adopted as one evaluation criterion in the certification process carried out by Indonesian certification body for sustainable palm oil (ISPO). Further research is still needed to study optimal design criteria for mitigation options including their dimension, density and spatial distribution in a watershed."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.swaqe.2016.05.001"],["dc.identifier.gro","3148908"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5546"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Wiegand Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","2212-6139"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.subject.gro","Expansion of oil palm plantation"],["dc.subject.gro","Mitigation option"],["dc.subject.gro","SWAT model"],["dc.subject.gro","Surface runoff management"],["dc.title","Mitigation options for improving the ecosystem function of water flow regulation in a watershed with rapid expansion of oil palm plantations"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
