MODELING THE FOREST TRANSITION: FOREST SCARCITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICE HYPOTHESES [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2007
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
