What evidence exists on the relationship between agricultural production and biodiversity in tropical rainforest areas? A systematic map protocol

Abstract Background Agriculture produces food for billions of humans and creates livelihoods farmers. However, the current production systems, driven by increasing demand ever-growing human population, are undermining ecological resources, primarily those related to biodiversity. Accordingly, agricultural in tropical rainforest countries has been a trade-off, as regions harbor high biodiversity while also being pressured land expansion. Consequently, threats inevitable will likely affect ecosystem service provisions necessary process. Presently, no study reviews maps evidence relationships between agriculture landscape. Therefore, such is identify knowledge gaps provide scientific relevant policymakers safeguarding within policies. This aims collect available published literature that evaluates relations We focus on priority crops producing commodities situated Methods Generic search terms derived from research question elements be used articles. These English, searches encompass global countries. Peer-reviewed gray articles retrieved engines databases screened first using title abstract second at full-text level. The latter screening process involve data coding retrieve characteristics each eligible finally collate these into an map, which state further support evidence-informed policy formulation. map presentation final report complemented narrative synthesis explaining trends, pinpointing gluts gaps, serving information, searchable associated stakeholders.
