Abstract: Abstract Achieving a global forest transition, that is a shift from deforestation to reforestation, is important for climate-change mitigation. Forest transitions are enabled by socioecological processes, including land displacement, agricultural intensification and woodfuel substitution for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landusepol.2021.105647
Abstract: Abstract Reconciling economic development with forest conservation is a challenge, particularly for high-forest cover, low-deforestation countries. Using Bhutan as an illustrative case, this study addresses how forest management may be reformed to benefit rural areas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.12703
Abstract: Recent land cover analysis reveals significant forest recovery around the world, suggesting that some countries may be in a forest transition. However remotely sensed imagery does not reveal the driving causes of forest recovery, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.5751/es-09615-220438
Abstract: New forests are expanding around the world. In many regions, regrowth rates are surpassing deforestation rates, resulting in "forest transitions," or net gains in forest cover. Typically measured only in terms of aggregate "forest cover"… read more here.
