Equity in Community Forestry in the United States
In the United States as elsewhere, community forestry is growing as a form of forest management and governance. Community forests bring decision-making and benefits closer to the community, yet not everyone in a community has the same access to either. We examine how community forest governing bodies address equity in decision-making about, and benefits from, community forest management. Using a case-study approach, we conducted semi-structured i…
The contributions of community forests to rural prosperity in the United States
Racial capitalism and the duality of exploitation in forest labor contracting
Studies of labor markets in forestry have consistently found that white workers tend to fill better-paying, higher-quality jobs than workers of color. Such segmentation of labor markets is well documented in other industries and has been theorized as a general feature of racial capitalism. Although it is widely recognized that racial capitalism marginalizes entrepreneurs of color, scholarship on racial capitalism has generally focused on the prec…

Equity in resilience: A case study of community resilience to wildfire in southwestern Oregon, United States
In the fire-prone and fire-adapted landscape of the Rogue River Basin of southwestern Oregon, communities mobilize to prepare, respond, and recover from wildfire while modifying the current social and ecological system. Marginalized communities are often most affected and least prepared for disturbances of this kind, where racism, colonialism, and structural equities prevent meaningful inclusion and equitable allocation of resources. This researc…

Community Forests” in the United States – How Do we Know One When we See One
Community forests (CFs) involve communities in decision-making about, management of and access to forests, and have potential to benefit both communities and forests. However, they lack a single definition, clear distinction from related topics, or method for identification. This perspectives article explores historical and current literature on CFs and proposes a conceptual framework for understanding CFs and related concepts in the U.S. context…

The impacts of Redd+ on the social-ecological resilience of community forests
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) has emerged as an important and cost-effective climate change mitigation strategy internationally. In many localities around the world, REDD+ and related interventions have been superimposed on, and overlap with, existing decentralized institutional arrangements such as community forests. These interventions often modify local institutions through new rules and practices that co…

Capital, labor, and gender: The Consequences of Large-Scale Land Transactions on Household Labor Allocation
Contemporary large-scale land transactions (LSLTs), also called land grabs, are historically unprecedented in their scale and pace. They have provoked robust scholarly debates, yet studies of their gender-differentiated impacts remain more rare, particularly when it comes to how changes in control over land and resources affect women's labor, and thereby their livelihoods and well-being. Our comparative study of four LSLTs in western Ethiopia fin…

Public Awareness and Perceptions of Watershed Management in the Min River Area, Fujian, China
With the increasing magnitude and frequency of natural disasters in China, environmental issues are of major concern to governments and the general public. Using questionnaire surveys, we examined public perceptions of environmental problems resulting from economic development in the Min River Watershed, China. This study found that public awareness and understanding of environmental issues were high. Two major concerns identified were water poll…
