Gap description:
1 - Insufficient research on the long-term effectiveness of co-governance and commons-based stewardship arrangements for sustaining NbS beyond initial project funding cycles.
2 - The definition of the temporal scales of interest deserves importance in connection with both NbS lasting and needed maintenance as well as expected impact (...)Time scales are more often determined by the NbS funding duration, which hinders the evaluation of the impact as they are likely to be better understood in the long term, since some impacts, such as social or health ones (e.g., reduction in the prevalence or incidence of different illnesses), require a longer time to become apparent
3 - There is likely a difficulty in capturing the productivity and profitability dimensions of agroforestry systems since these systems take a long time to mature, requiring substantial, long-term data beyond typical funding cycles.
