The humid tropics are exposed to an unprecedented modernisation of agriculture involving rapid and mixed land-use changes with contrasted environmental impacts. Afforestation is often mentioned as an unambiguous solution for restoring ecosystem services and enhancing biodiversity.
We conducted a 12-year field experiment to study the combined effects of rice straw compost and chemical fertilizer application on a double rice cropping system in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam and established 7 treatments using a randomized block design with 3 replications.
The Northern Uplands of Vietnam form one of the largest ecological regions in the country, characterized by complex biophysical conditions and a high diversity in ethnic minorities, cultures, and farming systems.
After reviewing the main causes and effects of land degradation and erosion in the uplands of mainland Southeast Asia, this chapter presents several case studies of recent land-use changes governed by economic, political and institutional transitions, the expansion of teak and rubber tree plantat
Forest transition — i.e., the shift from decreasing to expanding forest cover — in the northern mountains of Vietnam was analyzed at the local scale in four villages from the 1970s to 2007–2008 to understand feedbacks from local environmental degradation on land uses, the conditions under which s

Poverty and deforestation are critical issues in a number of developing countries where the policy framework is in many cases insufficient to provide rural people an incentive to afforest.
There has been an increased interest in the use of vegetative barriers in acid-infertile upland management systems in Southeast Asia.
This paper explores the economics of land degradation in the rice-shrimp system inthe Mekong Delta of Vietnam. A bioeconomic NPV model was developed toevaluate and compare the long-term benefits of alternative production choices andfarm technologies.
