Approaches to ecosystem services assessment and drivers of change in forest ecosystems [PDF]
The present loss of species and genetic diversity decreases the resilience of ecosystems, while at the same time ecosystems experience growing pressures from drivers such as climate change and land use change. The challenge is to translate these threats to biodiversity into tangible and quantifiable factors which can be used by policymakers to promote ...

MODELING THE FOREST TRANSITION: FOREST SCARCITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICE HYPOTHESES [PDF]
An historical generalization about forest cover change in which rapid deforestation gives way over time to forest restoration is called “the forest transition.” Prior research on the forest transition leaves three important questions unanswered: (1) How does forest loss influence an individual landowner's incentives to reforest? (2) How does the forest
