Forest transitions and ecosystem services
Common entry points and trade-offs for inclusive governance
Forest and Landscape Restoration faces governance challenges due to social heterogeneity and a complex policy environment, creating a Gordian knot of contrasting needs and strategies. Scholars propose common entry points for inclusive governance and reconciling restoration strategies, but empirical evidence is scarce. The study addresses this gap by exploring common entry points from actor clusters and trade-offs for inclusive governance, and by …
Forest livelihood strategies under contrasting management regimes
Forests are central to rural livelihoods in Zambia’s Miombo landscapes, providing energy, food, materials, and income. Yet forest-use restrictions may affect households differently depending on market access, enforcement, and livelihood opportunities. This study examines how restricted and non-restricted forest management regimes shape household livelihood strategies in Copperbelt, Eastern, and North-Western provinces. Using survey data from 1115…
How does rural in-migration affect forest clearing and smallholder land use in tropical forest frontiers? Evidence from the Zambian Miombo woodlands
One of the main sources of increasing population pressure in forested landscapes of Zambia is in-migration from other rural areas. This in-migration is driven by environmental degradation and limited employment options in the villages of origin, and, to a limited extent, in-migration from urban areas due to widespread unemployment and increased cost of living in cities . The current study examines the relationship between in-migration, forest cle…
Households' livelihood in restricted forest landscapes
In response to the loss of forest cover and biodiversity, forest conservation policies have been increasingly pursued worldwide. Such policies are often criticized for limiting the access of locals to forest resources, raising the question if nature conservation and poverty alleviation goals are compatible. Few studies have attempted to examine the impact of forest restriction on the livelihood of neighboring communities by accounting for confoun…
Analyzing forest policy mixes based on the coherence of policies and the consistency of legislative policy instruments
Potential impacts of the proposed EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains on smallholders, indigenous peoples, and local communities in producer countries outside the EU
Simulating land use and land cover change under contrasting levels of policy enforcement and its spatially-explicit impact on tropical forest landscapes in Ecuador
The implications of remittances for agricultural land use and fuelwood collection
Despite the projected sharpest decline in remittances in history due to the global economic crisis induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, remittances are expected to remain an important source of external financing for many developing countries. The Philippines is among the top five recipients of remittances worldwide, while outmigration is an important livelihood strategy for rural communities in the country due to rapid population growth, poor emplo…
Effects of household-level attributes and agricultural land-use on deforestation patterns along a forest transition gradient in the Miombo landscapes, Zambia
What is the contribution of forest-related income to rural livelihood strategies in the Philippines' remaining forested landscapes
Forest products have become scarce for local communities in the Philippines. After decades of severe deforestation, a net gain in forest area has only been observed in recent years for the first time. This paper seeks to broaden the understanding of forest livelihood relationships at the turning point of a forest transition trajectory. Based on 993 household surveys from 10 distinct research sites, we use Hierarchical Cluster Analysis to identify…
Interplay of governance elements and their effects on deforestation in tropical landscapes
After state-centered and market-centered approaches have driven international development cooperation activities in previous decades, improved governance has now come into the focus as a means to help reversing global trends of tropical deforestation. Yet, “good governance” remains a normative, broad and often underspecified concept consisting of a wide range of elements and implicit value judgements. Specific knowledge is missing on the relative…

Assessing the importance of topographic variables for the spatial distribution of tree species in a tropical mountain forest
© 2016, Erdkunde. All rights reserved. Availability and improved access to high-resolution digital terrain models (DTM) enables new approaches for the analysis of spatially explicit biological data. In this study, the spatial distribution of 16 tree species in a tropical mountain rain forest in South Ecuador and its relationship with topographic variables was evaluated at a fine-scale ecological level using two presence-only species distribution …
Insights from the ground level? A content analysis review of multi-national Redd+ studies since 2010
Simulating forest dynamics of a tropical montane forest in South Ecuador
The montane forests of Ecuador are part of one of the world's hotspots of biodiversity and they also suffer the highest deforestation rate amongst South American countries. The processes that drive the dynamics of these highly diverse ecosystems are poorly understood. This is particularly true for transient dynamics, which are crucial for the protection and sustainable management of such forests. Dynamic simulation models can be used to analyse t…
Effectiveness and distributional impacts of payments for reduced carbon emissions from
This paper analyses the effectiveness and distributional effects of payments to avoid tropical deforestation. As a first aspect, we investigated whether or not expected payments for avoided deforestation would be acceptable for tropical farmers in Southern Ecuador, with the study area located directly adjacent to the Podocarpus National Park. Second, we explored possible distributional effects resulting from voluntary or mandatory remuneration sc…
