对南美洲土地利用变化的不同驱动因素和地点的研究往往是孤立的。然而，有证据表明，在许多情况下，地点和司机之间的联系越来越紧密。农业商品链日益多样化和国际化，正在创造新的跨越生产边界和部门的联系，对保护具有重要影响。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了大豆和牛生产边界的部门和地理耦合对南美洲森林保护的影响，特别注意政策引起的森林砍伐渗漏的可能性。我们的结论是，耦合边界的存在需要更多的以行为者为中心的方法来保护政策和研究。
Different drivers and places of land use change in South America have often been studied in isolation. Evidence suggests, however, that in many instances, both places and drivers are becoming increasingly interconnected. The growing diversification and internationalization of agricultural commodity chains is creating new linkages across production frontiers and sectors that have important implications for conservation. In this article, we explore the implications of the sectoral and geographical coupling of soybean and cattle production frontiers for forest conservation in South America, with particular attention to the potential for policy-induced deforestation leakage. We conclude that the existence of coupled frontiers creates a need for more actor-centered approaches to conservation policy and research.
