Woody Plant Encroachment, Grassland Loss, and Farm Subsidies

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) aims to prevent the degradation of ecosystems, such as grasslands, which play a key role in the provision of biodiversity, forage, and cultural ecosystem services. However, woody plant encroachment increasingly causes the loss of grasslands, which provide forage, are biodiversity hotspots, and
