This large-scale land-use change has had great ecological, economic, and social impacts on both the areas converted to oil palm and their surroundings. However, research on the impacts of oil palm cultivation is scattered and patchy, and no clear overview exists. We address this gap through a systematic and comprehensive literature review of all ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations, including several (genetic, medicinal and ornamental resources, information functions) not included in previous systematic reviews. We compare ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations to those in forests, as the conversion of forest to oil palm is prevalent in the tropics. We find that oil palm plantations generally have reduced ecosystem functioning compared to forests: 11 out of 14 ecosystem functions show a net decrease in level of function. Some functions show decreases with potentially irreversible global impacts (e.g. reductions in gas and climate regulation, habitat and nursery functions, genetic resources, medicinal resources, and information functions). The most serious impacts occur when forest is cleared to establish new plantations, and immediately afterwards, especially on peat soils. To variable degrees, specific plantation management measures can prevent or reduce losses of some ecosystem functions (e.g. avoid illegal land clearing via fire, avoid draining of peat, use of integrated pest management, use of cover crops, mulch, and compost) and we highlight synergistic mitigation measures that can improve multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously. The only ecosystem function which increases in oil palm plantations is, unsurprisingly, the production of marketable goods. Our review highlights numerous research gaps. In particular, there are significant gaps with respect to socio-cultural information functions. Further, there is a need for more empirical data on the importance of spatial and temporal scales, such as differences among plantations in different environments, of different sizes, and of different ages, as our review has identified examples where ecosystem functions vary spatially and temporally. Finally, more research is needed on developing management practices that can offset the losses of ecosystem functions. Our findings should stimulate research to address the identified gaps, and provide a foundation for more systematic research and discussion on ways to minimize the negative impacts and maximize the positive impacts of oil palm cultivation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/brv.12295"],["dc.identifier.fs","621226"],["dc.identifier.gro","3148957"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27511961"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14337"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5600"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Wiegand Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["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","1464-7931"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Bioklimatologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"],["dc.subject.gro","Elaeis guineensis"],["dc.subject.gro","biodiversity"],["dc.subject.gro","ecosystem functions"],["dc.subject.gro","ecosystem services"],["dc.subject.gro","land-use change"],["dc.subject.gro","oil palm"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","A review of the ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations, using forests as a reference system"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We suggest and explore a conceptual framework in which economic gains can be maximized when production activities are specialized at increasingly broader scales (from the household to the village, region or above), particularly when markets for outputs and inputs function well. Conversely, more specialization likely reduces biodiversity and significantly limits ecosystem functions. When agricultural specialization increases and moves to broader scales as a result of improved infrastructure and markets or other drivers, ecosystem functions can also be endangered at broader spatial scales. Policies to improve agricultural incomes may influence the level of specialization at different scales and thus affect the severity of the trade-offs. This paper takes Jambi province in Indonesia, a current hotspot of rubber and oil palm monoculture, as a case study to illustrate these issues. We empirically show that the level of specialization differs across scales with higher specialization at household and village levels and higher diversification towards the province level. We discuss ways to resolve trade-offs between economic gains and ecological costs, including landscape design, targeted policies, and adoption of long-term perspectives."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ecolecon.2016.01.001"],["dc.identifier.fs","619944"],["dc.identifier.gro","3148962"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13142"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5604"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Faust Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B05: Land use patterns in Jambi - quantification of structure, heterogeneity and changes of vegetation and land use as a basis for the explanation of ecological and socioeconomic functions"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B10: Landschaftsbezogene Bewertung der ökologischen und sozioökonomischen Funktionen von Regenwald- Transformationssystemen in Sumatra (Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C02: Soziale Transformationsprozesse und nachhaltige Ressourcennutzung im ländlichen Jambi"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C03: Culture-Specific Human Interaction with Tropical Lowland Rainforests in Transformation in Jambi, Sumatra"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C08: Design effektiver Politikinstrumente zur Förderung nachhaltiger Landnutzung"],["dc.relation.issn","0921-8009"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.subject.gro","Economies of Scale"],["dc.subject.gro","Ecosystem Services"],["dc.subject.gro","Indonesia"],["dc.subject.gro","Monoculture"],["dc.subject.gro","Oil Palm"],["dc.subject.gro","Rubber"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Economic and ecological trade-offs of agricultural specialization at different spatial scales"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We further separate measures on emission inequality based on household characteristics as well as decompose it into sources of emission. The results show that as per capita expenditure increases, within group emission inequality tends to decline until the middle-income group but then further increase in expenditure worsens emission inequality. We also find that expenditure inequality is the predominant driver of emission inequality although recent increases in expenditure inequality have not lead to a commensurate increase in emission inequality. The decomposition of inequality based on emission sources suggests that energy-transportation predominantly contributes of the overall emission inequality; reducing the emission intensity of these sources would serve to lower emission inequality substantially."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10018-015-0119-0"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/14697"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Inequality in emissions: evidence from Indonesian household"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In particular, we investigate the relative roles of nonfarm incomes and productivity improvements achieved via changes in crops versus improvements on the same crops on income dynamics. Framing the article in the context of an optimal labor allocation model, relying on unique household panel data from Central Sulawesi, and using advanced panel econometric methods, we find that local innovations related to the adoption and intensification of new cash crop varieties, more specifically the shift from coffee to cocoa production, can explain a substantial part of the observed post‐crisis developments. Causal estimates of the effect of growing cocoa suggest that households were on average able to achieve about 14% higher income levels during the post‐crisis period compared to the planting of other crops, most notably coffee. Also, our results demonstrate the importance of engagement in nonfarm activities for household income growth. Comparative analyses using a nationally representative survey suggest that similar processes are at play in other parts of Indonesia."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/agec.12015"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/14882"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Cash crop choice and income dynamics in rural areas: evidence for post-crisis Indonesia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
