Estimating the world's potentially available cropland using a bottom-up approach (2013, background): “Rapid urbanization, bioenergy policy mandates, forest plantations, and new protected areas are also competing for land access (Meyfroidt and Lambin, 2011).”
Drivers of changes in agricultural intensity in Europe (2016, background): “…an early industrialisation of agricultural land use and a quick adoption of technologies (Jepsen et al., 2015) as well as lower yield gaps (Neumann et al., 2010), while marginal areas experienced low-intensity landuse or even de-intensification (Kuemmerle et al., 2015; Meyfroidt and Lambin, 2011).”
Middle-range theories of land system change (2018, background): “Processes of forest transition have been described through interacting pathways combining these three land-use dynamics and influenced by multiple drivers (Rudel et al., 2005; Meyfroidt and Lambin, 2011; Liu et al., 2017; de Jong et al., 2017).”
Hotspots of land use change in Europe (2016, background): “…on conversions among board land-use classes, such as deforestation (e.g., Geist and Lambin 2002, Hansen et al 2013, Graesser et al 2015), urbanization (e.g., Deng et al 2008, Taubenböck et al 2012), or forest expansion (e.g., Rudel et al 2005, Meyfroidt and Lambin 2011, Kuemmerle et al 2015).”
Globalization of land use: distant drivers of land change and geographic displacement of land use (2013, background): “Unintended consequences of land use policies: leakage and indirect land use changes Early studies of reforestation and forest transitions — defined as national-scale shifts from shrinking to expanding forest areas — also focused on local and national-scale processes: agricultural intensification and”
Land‐use change trajectories up to 2050: insights from a global agro‐economic model comparison (2014, background): “Another source of uncertainty is that those countries have recently seen a considerable slowdown in land clearing (Soares-Filho et al, 2010), indicating a beginning forest transition, as observed in countries like Thailand or Vietnam (Meyfroidt et al., 2010; Meyfroidt and Lambin (2011).”
