Doctoral Dissertation: Ese'eja Signatures: A Systematic Assesment of the Effects of Indigenous Agricultural Practices on Rainforest Diversity in the Amazon

Durham/ ocampo - raeder本项目探讨了土著资源管理对秘鲁亚马逊雨林多样性的创造和维护的影响。研究人员将分析三个Ese’eja社区农业实践的变化范围，并测量不同类型的农业实践对原始森林树种多样性的影响。方法包括植物样带、生态分析和人种志。该项目将记录不同社区农业实践的变化（人类影响）如何导致树种数量和丰富度的可识别变化。这项研究将有助于我们了解雨林群落的人类生态。

Abstract 0001538 Durham/Ocampo-RaederThis project examines the impact of indigenous resource management on the creation and maintenance of rainforest diversity in the Peruvian Amazon. The researcher will analyze the range of variation in agricultural practices among three Ese'eja communities, and measure the impact of different types of agricultural practices on tree species diversity in the primary forest. Methods include botanical transects, ecological analysis, and ethnography. The project will document how variation in agricultural practices across communities (the human impact) causes identifiable variability in the number and richness of tree species. The research will contribute to our understanding of the human ecology of rainforest communities.
