  abstract = {{I}n tropical forests farmers are among the most important agents of deforestation. {A}t the interface between societies and their environment, ecosystem services ({ES}) is an integrated working framework through which natural and anthropogenic dimensions can be addressed. {H}ere, we aimed to understand to what extent farmers impact {ES} availability. {B}ased on case studies in three locations in the {B}razilian {A}mazon rainforest, we performed statistical analyses at 135 sampling points and 110 farms to link socioeconomic and {ES} data, both derived from field work. {T}he socioeconomic data characterized agricultural production, sociological characteristics, and quality of life. {ES} data were obtained from statistical analyses that yielded a multiple {ES} indicator for each sampling point and farm. {O}ur results produced three main findings: first, the establishment of {ES} associations is due more to agricultural production characteristics than to sociological and quality-of-life factors. {S}econd, the impact of agricultural production on {ES} availability depends on the level of total incomes. {A}n increase in incomes causes a decrease in the forest cover that provides many {ES} and an increase in other areas that provide fewer {ES}. {F}inally, our analyses show a very strong site effect that probably expresses the heterogeneity of the biophysical contexts,

but also the importance for {ES} availability of the historical depth of deforestation and/or the role of specific public policies. {F}inding ways of producing an alternative impact on {ES} availability and establishing specific {ES} associations will therefore depend more on changes in the global political context than in individual practices.},
