Tropical rainforests disappear at an alarming rate causing unprece-dented losses in biodiversity and ecosystem services. The stability ofrainforest margins has an ecological and socio-economic dimension, andunderstanding the multidisciplinary nature of land-use changes in tropical rainforest margins is the key to identifying development objectives such as mitigation of biodiversity loss and poverty reduction. The chapters in this book cover a broad range of topical research areas, from impacts of different forest-use intensities, sustainable management of agroforestry to integrated land-use concepts.
