Abstract

ABSTRACTThis research focuses on the socio-ecological context of small farmers in the Mediterranean dryland region of south-central Chile or Secano Interior. This area has been characterised by a long history of natural resource exploitation, especially soil and native vegetation, and the arrival and rapid expansion of monoculture forest plantations resulting in serious environmental degradation issues. Using a mixed methods approach including social network surveys, semi-structured interviews, and geospatial data, this article compares social capital indicators and socio-ecological interactions for rural households with different levels of encroachment due to forest plantations. The research objective is to contrast diverse socio-environmental scenarios with different levels of dispersion and proximity to forest plantations. Findings on local egocentric networks propose clues about the social effects of traditional agriculture loss, rural depopulation and other socio-economic and ecological issues which respondents associated with the introduction and expansion of monoculture plantations in the region.KEYWORDS: Social networks; socio-ecological systems; natural resourcesgovernancetraditional agriculture Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

社会资本和景观:智利中南部地中海旱地单一栽培林场对小生产者的影响

摘要本研究聚焦于智利中南部地中海旱地或塞卡诺内陆地区小农的社会生态背景。这一地区的特点是长期开发自然资源，特别是土壤和原生植被，以及单一栽培森林人工林的到来和迅速扩大，造成严重的环境退化问题。本文采用混合方法，包括社会网络调查、半结构化访谈和地理空间数据，比较了不同程度人工林侵蚀的农村家庭的社会资本指标和社会生态相互作用。研究的目的是对比不同程度的分散和接近森林人工林的不同社会环境情景。关于当地自我中心网络的调查结果为传统农业损失、农村人口减少以及其他社会经济和生态问题的社会影响提供了线索，受访者将这些问题与该地区单一种植种植园的引进和扩大联系起来。关键词:社交网络;社会生态系统;自然资源治理传统农业披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
