Abstract:
The present study aims to assess (1) the ecosystem services (ES) provided by LFS and (2) the differential ES between local (Creole) and exotic breeds from pig, cattle and goat. The ES are defined as the benefits that humans derive from LFS. They were summarized in 12 ES indicators that cover services related to provisioning, ecological and socio-cultural aspects and territorial vitality. A total of 106 LFS units that covers the five agroecological zones of Guadeloupe were analysed. Functional typologies of LFS per species were created from surveys. The effect of breed on the ES indicators was tested. Results showed that the 40 pig LFS units were separated into 3 clusters that were differentiated in ES according to provisioning ES (cluster 1), cultural use and sale to the neighborhood (cluster 2) and pork self-consumption (cluster 3). The typology of the 57 farms with cattle distinguished 4 clusters with differences in ES provided in self-consumption (cluster1), ecological ES (cluster 2), socio-cultural ES for racing or draught oxen (cluster 3) and ES associated with territory vitality (cluster 4). The 66 goat LFS units were classified into 3 clusters different in ES concerning self-consumption (cluster 1), cultural aspects (cluster 2) and provisioning ES (cluster 3). Our study highlights that ES indicators are not breed dependent (P > 0.10) but rather livestock farming system dependent. The ES rely more on the rearing management than on the breed type, and up to now, there are no specifications in Guadeloupe to differentiate management between breeds.
摘要:
本研究旨在评估(1)LFS提供的生态系统服务(ES)和(2)猪的本地(克里奥尔语)和外来品种之间的差异ES,牛和山羊.ES被定义为人类从LFS中获得的益处。它们被总结在12项ES指标中,这些指标涵盖了与供应相关的服务,生态和社会文化方面和领土活力。分析了涵盖瓜德罗普岛五个农业生态区的总共106个LFS单元。从调查中创建了每个物种的LFS的功能类型。测试了品种对ES指标的影响。结果表明,40只猪LFS单位被分成3个簇,根据供应ES(簇1)在ES中区分,对社区的文化使用和销售(集群2)和猪肉自我消费(集群3)。57个有牛的农场的类型区分了4个集群,这些集群在自我消费中提供了不同的ES(集群1),生态ES(集群2),赛牛或草牛的社会文化ES(第3组)和与领土活力相关的ES(第4组)。66个山羊LFS单元被分为3个关于自我消费的ES不同的集群(集群1),文化方面(集群2)和供应ES(集群3)。我们的研究强调,ES指标不依赖于品种(P>0.10),而是依赖于畜牧业系统。ES更多地依赖于饲养管理,而不是品种类型,到现在为止,瓜德罗普岛没有规格来区分品种之间的管理。
