项目摘要

This project will build on a large-scale experimental project, based within large industrial oil palm plantations in Riau, Indonesia, that investigated the impact of varying herbicide use and manual cutting of understory vegetation on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resilience to drought, and palm oil yield. Key findings from the work included a positive effect of reducing herbicide use and allowing more understory vegetation to grow on predator numbers, plant diversity, soil biodiversity, rate of decomposition and below ground processes, but with only limited impacts on GHG emissions and yield. In addition to benefitting biodiversity and ecosystem processes in oil palm, reducing levels of herbicide spraying can also potentially save money and pollution risk through runoff of herbicides into waterways . Although these findings have been well-publicised for large-scale industrial plantations, they have not yet been disseminated to small-scale farmers ("smallholders"), although they produce roughly 40% of palm oil production in Indonesia and Malaysia.This project brings together a strong team of researchers and practitioners from the UK (University of Cambridge and NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH)), Indonesia (IPB University (Bogor Agricultural University) and Sinar Mas Agro Research and Technology Research Institute (SMARTRI)) and Malaysia (Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Wild Asia), who have expertise in oil palm management, experience of working with smallholders, and a diverse range of viewpoints (researcher, industry and NGO). Using existing strong connections between project team members and the smallholder community, this project will run workshops with networks of smallholders in both Indonesia and Malaysia, to promote uptake of management recommendations from the previous project and solicit feedback from smallholders on the feasibility of using different understory management options within their farms. To assess whether findings from the original project also hold true in a smallholder context, we will measure biodiversity, ecosystem functioning (including GHG emissions) and yield across a range of smallholder plantations that currently use different understory management practices. We will then experimentally trial three different understory management options within smallholder farms that currently have low levels of understory vegetation. We will collect data on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and yield within these areas as before and use results to identify management options that benefit both biodiversity, ecosystem processes and food production.We will ensure outcomes from the project are disseminated clearly with opportunities for feedback, by running workshops and field visits with participating smallholders in both Indonesia and Malaysia. We will also work with sustainability schemes, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) to make sure that results feed into sustainability guidelines, promoting the uptake of successful management options on a wider scale and over a longer timeframe than this project alone can achieve. By identifying management options that promote more environmentally friendly palm oil production, greater diversity of crops, as well as reduced herbicide applications, the results of this work have the potential to benefit the environment, as well as smallholder productivity, health, income and food security.

该项目将建立在一个大型实验项目的基础上，该项目以印度尼西亚廖内的大型工业油棕榈种植园为基础，调查了不同除草剂使用和人工砍伐林下植被对生物多样性、生态系统功能、温室气体排放、抗旱能力和棕榈油产量的影响。这项工作的主要发现包括减少除草剂的使用和允许更多的林下植被生长对捕食者数量、植物多样性、土壤生物多样性、分解率和地下过程的积极影响，但对温室气体排放和产量的影响有限。除了有利于油棕的生物多样性和生态系统过程外，减少除草剂喷洒水平还可以通过除草剂流入水道来节省资金和污染风险。虽然这些研究结果已广为宣传的大规模工业种植园，他们还没有传播到小规模的农民（“小农”），虽然他们生产大约40%的棕榈油产量在印度尼西亚和马来西亚。这个项目汇集了一个强大的团队的研究人员和从业人员从英国（剑桥大学和NERC生态和水文中心），印度尼西亚（IPB大学（博戈尔农业大学）和Sinar Mas农业研究和技术研究所）和马来西亚（马来西亚普特拉大学（UPM）和野生亚洲），他们拥有油棕管理方面的专业知识，与小农合作的经验，以及各种观点（研究人员，行业和非政府组织）。该项目将利用项目小组成员与小农社区之间现有的强有力联系，与印度尼西亚和马来西亚的小农网络举办讲习班，以促进采纳上一个项目的管理建议，并征求小农对在其农场内使用不同林下管理方案的可行性的反馈意见。为了评估原始项目的结果是否也适用于小农背景，我们将测量目前使用不同林下管理方法的一系列小农种植园的生物多样性，生态系统功能（包括温室气体排放）和产量。然后，我们将在目前林下植被水平较低的小农农场内试验三种不同的林下植被管理方案。我们将一如既往地收集这些地区的生物多样性、生态系统功能和产量数据，并利用结果确定有利于生物多样性、生态系统过程和粮食生产的管理方案。我们将确保项目成果得到明确传播，并有机会通过举办研讨会和实地考察与印度尼西亚和马来西亚的参与小农进行反馈。我们还将与可持续发展计划合作，例如可持续棕榈油圆桌会议（RSPO），以确保结果纳入可持续发展指导方针，促进在更大范围内和更长的时间内采用成功的管理方案，而不是仅凭这个项目。通过确定促进更环保的棕榈油生产、更大的作物多样性以及减少除草剂使用的管理方案，这项工作的结果有可能有益于环境，以及小农的生产力、健康、收入和粮食安全。
