What Drives and Stops Deforestation, Reforestation, and Forest
Abstract This article updates our previous comprehensive meta-analysis of what drives and stops deforestation (Busch and Ferretti-Gallon 2017). By including six additional years of research, this article more than doubles the evidence base to 320 spatially explicit econometric studies published in peer-reviewed academic journals from 1996 to 2019. We find that deforestation is consistently ...
Deforestation and reforestation impacts on soils in the tropics
Deforestation and reforestation cause dramatic changes to tropical ecosystems, including underlying soil properties and their corresponding ecosystem services. In this Review, the impacts of this ...
What has Driven Deforestation in Developing Countries Since the 2000s
Finally, recent empirical studies using cross-country panel data focus on the forest transition hypothesis to explain deforestation dynamics (Culas, 2012, Wolfersberger). The forest transition (Mather, 1992) describes changes in the forest stock in a country, in relation to its level of development. It states that forest cover first declines ...
Global patterns of tropical forest fragmentation
Gross deforestation rates and reforestation rates were derived from ref. 1 by dividing area change estimates of annual gross deforestation (2000-2010) and annual forest regrowth (2000-2010) by ...
Understanding the socio-economic causes of deforestation: a global
The problem of (a)deforestation is an example of a global externality (Lawrence et al., 2022). Current research claims that it is needed to identify the specific economic factors that drive deforestation and develop effective policies and tools to mitigate its impacts at the global and national level (Bhatia and Cumming, 2020; Ahmed et al., 2023).
The Unseen Effects of Deforestation: Biophysical Effects on Climate
Biophysical cooling due to deforestation from 30°N to 40°N offsets about 40% of the warming associated with carbon loss from deforestation; from 40°N to 50°N biophysical effects offset 85% of CO 2 effects (Figure 5B). Above 50°N, biophysical global cooling is 3-6 times as great as CO 2 induced global warming.
PDF Deforestation and Forest Land Use: Theory, Evidence, and Policy
deforestation exceeds 3.5 percent annually, and fuelwood prices have risen by more than 5 percent a year for the last decade. Fuelwood may now consume 20 percent of the cash income of subsistence households in rural areas. Malawi's deforestation has occurred largely on open-access forest (land where property
PDF Rethinking the Causes of Deforestation: Lessons from Economic Models
A Framework for Analyzing Deforestation. The conceptual framework used here is helpful both in understanding deforestation processes and in classifying modeling approaches. Five types of variables are used in models of deforestation: The magnitude and location of deforestation—the main dependent variable.
Deforestation
deforestation, the clearing or thinning of forests by humans. Deforestation represents one of the largest issues in global land use.Estimates of deforestation traditionally are based on the area of forest cleared for human use, including removal of the trees for wood products and for croplands and grazing lands. In the practice of clear-cutting, all the trees are removed from the land, which ...
Identifying the Causes of Tropical Deforestation: Meta ...
The "win-win" hypothesis is based on the assumption that poverty is the root cause of deforestation, and hence higher income leads to more forest cover or less deforestation. Thus, the coefficient on income in a regression model of forest cover is expected to be positive.
Deforestation and Forest Loss
Global deforestation peaked in the 1980s. Can we bring it to an end? Since the end of the last ice age — 10,000 years ago — the world has lost one-third of its forests. 2 Two billion hectares of forest — an area twice the size of the United States — has been cleared to grow crops, raise livestock, and for use as fuelwood. Previously, we looked at this change in global forests over the ...
The Impact of Globalization on Forest Growth: Evidence from
Since Amazonian deforestation has reached a historic level (Yanai et al., 2020; Maeda et al., 2021) [28,29], the impact of globalization on deforestation is somewhat weak, even imperceptible; thus, the impact of globalization on forest growth in such areas is different than in other regions. ... Hypothesis 2. The impact of ...
Global forest loss disproportionately erodes biodiversity in intact
Deforestation increases the odds of a species being threatened by extinction, and this effect is disproportionately strong in relatively intact landscapes, suggesting that efforts are needed to ...
Is deforestation needed for growth? Testing the EKC hypothesis for
The EKC hypothesis for deforestation states that, at the beginning of a country's economic expansion, there are high standards of natural forest conservation. Nevertheless, when the country starts growing, forests participate as engines of development, and the deforested area increases rapidly to obtain resources and free up land for carrying ...
The hydrological legacy of deforestation on global wetlands
The quality and quantity of water delivered to wetland ecosystems (including lakes) are key drivers of biodiversity and ecosystem function. There has been a major focus on the impact of catchment deforestation and changing land use on the quality of water draining to wetlands (e.g., nutrient and sediment loads) (1, 2), but there has been little attention paid to the legacy of deforestation on ...

How Forests Attract Rain: An Examination of a New Hypothesis
Makarieva and Gorshkov have developed a hypothesis to explain how forests attract moist air and how continental regions such as the Amazon basin remain wet (Makarieva et al. 2006, Makarieva and Gorshkov 2007, and associated online discussions; hereafter, collectively "Makarieva and Gorshkov"). The implications are substantial.
Environment: What can we do to stop deforestation?
The goals intended to halve deforestation by 2020, and stop it by 2030. But assessments have concluded we're actually further from stopping deforestation now than we were six years ago. Despite the challenges, the goals can still be achieved with the right measures. In 2014, the future of forests looked bright.
