DOI: 10.1080/1747423x.2021.2018514
Abstract: ABSTRACT Understanding the drivers of forest transitions is relevant to inform effective forest conservation. We investigate pathways of forest transitions in the United States (1920–2010), France (1850–2010), and Austria (1830–2010). By combining evidence from forest… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agriculture11030189
Abstract: As the extent of secondary forests continues to expand throughout the tropics, there is a growing need to better understand the ecosystem services, including carbon (C) storage provided by these ecosystems. Despite their spatial extent,… 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.
