In the 15 plots of 0.1 ha established in the well-drained uplands, 81 families, 310 genera and 1124 species were found. This resulted in a reallocation of time away from forest clearing and hillside farming in the uplands, thereby reducing rates of deforestation. By perpetuating poverty in rural areas they encouraged population movement to crowded cities and to ecologically fragile uplands. Individual transects were distributed in space within each site sampling across several uplands in deciduous forest, while in riparian forest transects were across different streams. Locally rare species (with only one individual in a plot) occurred mostly in well-drained uplands. Thirteen species occurred in only one plot (9 in the riparian zone and 4 in the uplands). These included growing the cereal as a rain-fed crop on uplands, in inland swamps, and along river floodplains. Migration studies up until this time had focused on rural-urban migration or rural-rural migration other than to the forested parts of the uplands. The cause of the damage (to tourism and fisheries) was logging in the uplands. By implication, agricultural price policies affecting both prices and price variation have been influential in shaping environmental change in the uplands. Although some initial employment gains have been reversed, wage-induced increases in agricultural productivity in the uplands have reduced forest pressure. Part 2 examines the impacts of employment of upland farmers on patterns of resource allocation in the uplands. In the well-drained uplands, the spatial configuration of the plots is more important than soils in explaining species patterns. Negative effects may lead to forest clearance and land degradation in the uplands. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
