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

Diseases emerge when forests degrade

Science, 2016
Infectious Disease Why emerging infectious diseases originate in tropical habitats remains a mystery, but habitat degradation may play a role. Mycobacterium ulcerans causes the tropical skin disease Buruli ulcer. Morris et al. looked for the presence of M.

UNDERSTANDING FOREST DEGRADATION – A REVIEW OF FOREST STRUCTURE INDICATORS

BORNEO AKADEMIKA, 2022
Forest degradation has profoundly impacted the forest structure which has affected the carbon stock, biodiversity, microclimate and function of the ecosystem. This consequently reduces the forest’s capacity in providing goods and services. Forest degradation is typically a multi-stage anthropological process that develops gradually but might be ...

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.

Forest and environmental degradation

1998
Recurrent concern has been expressed over recent decades regarding tropical deforestation. Concern has focused on the unsustainable nature of many of the agronomic systems that have been established on cleared forest land and on the broader biophysical feedbacks that are associated with the loss of forest cover; the latter include climatic and ...
