Rents, Actors, and the Expansion of Commodity Frontiers in the Gran Chaco (2018, background): “Several theories have sought to explain such smallholder frontiers (Browder et al. 2008; Walker et al. 2009; Godar et al. 2012).”
Sacred groves, sacrifice zones and soy production: globalization, intensification and neo-nature in South America (2016, background): “While in many ways livestock achieved territorialization goals by transforming earlier frontiers (Hecht 1985; Gardner 2009; Rodrigues et al. 2009; Walker et al. 2009; Hoelle 2014), it lacked significant backward linkages (since both the grass and the animals were able to reproduce themselves) and…”
Statistical confirmation of indirect land use change in the Brazilian Amazon (2011, methodology): “We obtained prices of beef through field interviews conducted in 2000, 2005 and 2007 (Arima et al 2006, Walker et al 2009a) and from published agricultural almanacs (AnualPec 2003, 2009) for 42 municipalities.”
Persistence of cattle ranching in the Brazilian Amazon: A spatial analysis of the rationale for beef production (2012, background): “In fact, the literature sugests that some of the underlying drivers of extensive ranching in rontier regions of the Amazon—such as its role as a low-investment nd effective way to lay claim to land or to capture the increases n land value associated with advancing infrastructure and land enure—are k”
Exchange Rates, Soybean Supply Response, and Deforestation in South America (2012, background): “With few exceptions, (Arcand et al., 2008), references to the role of currency fluctuations in land change science literature, if present, are largely anecdotal (Nepstad et al., 2006, Walker et al., 2009a, Brandão et al., 2005) or inconclusive (Ewers et al., 2008).”
Multiple pathways of commodity crop expansion in tropical forest landscapes (2014, unknown): “ridors [42, 43].”
Linking Land Change with Driving Forces and Actors: Four Conceptual Models (2010, background): “For example, Walker et al. (2009) addressed policies that have created location rents in Amazonia, the effect of these rents on land managers, and the spatial implications of their behavior on forests.”
