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...

This paper analyzes land use change in the Brazilian savanna and draws out policy implications about the adoption of resource management technologies. Resources management technologies are more likely to be adopted in areas experiencing a long-term deterioration in market conditions. Adoptions oc...

Benhin, J.K.Barbier, Bruno[Forestry, deforestation and biodiversity in Ghana]Forestry, deforestation and biodiversity in Ghana

A dynamic model of forest land use in Ghana is developed and used to derive demand equations for optimal timber harvesting, cocoa land and maize land that are a function of the model’s price parameters. An equation is also developed to estimate the biodiversity level in Ghana. The hypothesis that...
