  • Common entry points and trade-offs for inclusive governance: Balancing actor traits and policy in decision-making on forest restoration strategies

    Open Access•Vianny Ahimbisibwe, Richard Fischer et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainability Science•2026

    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 …

  • Conservation and land-use governance in Brazil: Domestic and international interconnectivity

    Open Access•Cláudia Azevedo-Ramos, Jessica Pacheco et al.•ARTICLE•Land Use Policy•2026•References: 72

    Governance strategies, involving both governmental and non-governmental entities, are instrumental in regulating land use practices and conservation, specifically in countries with high agricultural commodity production. Their interconnection is vital for advancing sustainable agriculture and forest use while simultaneously addressing greenhouse gas emissions and land use and land rights. This study examines domestic and international interconnec…

  • Effectiveness of policy instrument mixes for forest conservation in the tropics – Stakeholder perceptions from Ecuador, the Philippines and Zambia

  • Tropical deforestation: Does researchers' direct engagement with decision makers yield more policy impact and what are trade-offs with scientific independence

    Open Access•Richard Fischer, Denis B Karcher•ARTICLE•Forest Policy and Economics•2022•References: 25

  • Analyzing forest policy mixes based on the coherence of policies and the consistency of legislative policy instruments: A case study from Ecuador

  • Interplay of governance elements and their effects on deforestation in tropical landscapes: Quantitative insights from Ecuador

    Open Access•Richard Fischer, Fabian Tamayo Cordero et al.•ARTICLE•World Development•2021•Cited by: 5•References: 8

    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…

  • Relationships between forest floor vegetation on ICP Forests monitoring plots in Europe and basic variables in soil and nitrogen deposition

    Walter Seidling, Richard Fischer et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2008

    Forest floor vegetation is repeatedly assessed on intensive monitoring plots of the ICP Forests programme along with environmental parameters such as deposition and soil factors. Based on the floristic composition of the herb layer, detrended correspondence analyses (DCA) were performed. The first axis of a DCA based on 720 forest plots across Europe revealed a phytogeographic differentiation of the Mediterranean plots and may moreover partly ref…
