Conceptualizing Forest Degradation

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015
Forest degradation is a global environmental issue, but its definition is problematic. Difficulties include choosing appropriate reference states, timescales, thresholds, and forest values. We dispense with many such ambiguities by interpreting forest degradation through the frame of ecological resilience, and with reference to forest dynamics ...

Restoration of Degraded Tropical Forest Landscapes

Science, 2005
The current scale of deforestation in tropical regions and the large areas of degraded lands now present underscore the urgent need for interventions to restore biodiversity, ecological functioning, and the supply of goods and ecological services previously used by poor rural communities. Traditional timber plantations have supplied some goods but have

Direct Measurement of Forest Degradation Rates in Malawi: Toward a National Forest Monitoring System to Support REDD+

open access: yesForests, 2021
Spatial time-series measurements of forest degradation rates are important for estimating national greenhouse gas emissions but have been challenging for open forests and woodlands. This lack of quantitative data on forest degradation rates, location and

Effects of Tropical Forest Degradation on Amazon Forest Phenology

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
Anthropogenic disturbances in tropical forests cause short-and long-term alterations in forest structure, species composition, and successional processes. However, improved understanding of the impacts of disturbance on forest functioning is needed to support forest management and conservation.

Forests to the People: Decentralization and Forest Degradation in the Indian Himalayas

World Development, 2010
Summary This paper assesses degradation of forests managed by local communities (Van Panchayats (VPs)), relative to state protected and open access forests in the Indian state of Uttaranchal. It is based on ground-level ecological measures of forest quality (including canopy cover, biomass, lopping, and regeneration) in forest areas adjoining a ...

Decrease and Degradation of Forests

2020
Deforestation is one of the most accurately measurable cases of acceleration toward global environmental collapse. It is a major cause of climate change and is tearing the web of life apart. Forests are now being destroyed worldwide at a breakneck pace.
