Contribution from forest (timber, Amazon nut, other NTFPs and hunting), husbandry (agriculture, agroforestry and livestock) and off-farm income (salary, business and gifts) incomes to the total net income of community households in the Bolivian Amazon by type of income: (S) subsistence and (C) cash.
<p>The upper and lower quartiles in the boxplots explain 25% of the variation in the median net income derived by participating households. Empty circles are the outliers.</p
Socioeconomic and biophysical variables potentially determining income from forests, husbandry, off-farm, Amazon nut and timber at community household forests that were collected in this study.

Study site and location of research transects within a community household in the Bolivian Amazon.

Conceptual framework showing the potential relationships of socioeconomic (i.e., social assets, local ecological knowledge, financial assets) and biophysical attributes (i.e., market accessibility, natural and physical assets) in relation to household income.
<p><b>Attributes can have direct and indirect effects on the response variable.</b> An example of these relationships is included within parentheses in each attribute box. This conceptual framework is further developed for timber and Amazon nut income in the Supporting Information. Other variables used to characterize the different attributes are listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0170594#pone.0170594.t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>.</p
Socioeconomic and biophysical factors determining forest (timber, Amazon nut, other NTFPs and hunting) income of community households in the Bolivian Amazon.
<p>Solid arrows indicate significant effects of a variable on another, whereas, dotted arrows indicate non-significant effects. Standardized coefficient values are at the intersection of the arrows indicating the direction of the relationships. Values are only provided for significant relationships that resulted from the structural equation (SEM) models.</p
Income of community-based households from different sources by type of income (S) subsistence and (C) cash in the Bolivian Amazon.
<p>The upper and lower quartiles in the boxplots explain 25% of the variation in the median net income derived by participating households. Empty circles are the outliers. CTMP = Community timber management plan, NTFPs = Non-timber forest products.</p
Social and biophysical characteristics of selected <i>campesino</i> communities undertaking community timber management plans (CTMPs) in the Bolivian Amazon.

Socioeconomic and biophysical factors determining income derived from husbandry (agriculture, agroforestry and livestock) by community households in the Bolivian Amazon.
<p>Solid arrows indicate significant effects of a variable on another, whereas, dotted arrows indicate non-significant effects. Standardized coefficient values are at the intersection of the arrows indicating the direction of the relationships. Values are only provided for significant relationships that resulted from the structural equation (SEM) models.</p
Best predictors of income derived from forest, husbandry, off-farm, Amazon nut and timber.
<p>Values correspond to the weights of the Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) of all possible models in which each variable appears. Significance levels: p <0.01***, p <0.05**, p <0.1*, p >0.1^ (most important variable in the absence of a significant predictor per attribute). At least one variable was selected per attribute for each income source.</p
