The causes of land-use and land-cover change: moving beyond the myths

Autor: Lambin, E.F. Turner, B.L. Geist, H.J. Agbola, S.J. Angelsen, A. Bruce, J.W. Coomes, O.T. Dirzo, R. Fischer, G. Folke, C.

Common understanding of the causes of land-use and land-cover change is dominated by simplifications which, in turn, underlie many environment-development policies. This article tracks some of the major myths on driving forces of land-cover change and proposes alternative pathways of change that ...

Impact of macroeconomic change on deforestation in South Cameroon: integration of household survey and remotely-sensed data

Autor: Mertens, B. Sunderlin, William D. Ndoye, O. Lambin, E.F.

Integration of information from household surveys and data on land-cover changes derived from remote sensing helps to understand the causes and processes of land-use/land-cover changes. A household survey covering 552 households in 33 villages was carried out in the East Province of Cameroon. Thi...

Land-cover change trajectories in Southern Cameroon

Autor: Mertens, B. Lambin, E.F.

The objective of this study is to better understand the complexity of deforestation processes in southern Cameroon by testing a multivariate, spatial model of land-cover change trajectories associated with deforestation. The spatial model integrates a spectrum of independent variables that charac...

Forest transitions: towards a global understanding of land use change

Autor: Rudel, Thomas K. Coomes, O.T. Moran, E. Achard, F. Angelsen, A. Jianchu Xu Lambin, E.F.

Places experience forest transitions when declines in forest cover cease and recoveries in forest cover begin. Forest transitions have occurred in two, sometimes overlapping circumstances. In some places economic development has created enough non-farm jobs to pull farmers off of the land, thereb...
