Dispelling common misconceptions to improve attitudes and policy outlook on charcoal in developing countries (2013, methodology): “It would also partly explain why the dominant response to charcoal interventions has been to catalyze switches to ‘modern’ alternatives even if the long term sustainability of such alternatives is questionable or increases dependency on imported fuels (Arnold et al., 2006; Maes and Verbist, 2012).”

Energy, Gender and Development: What are the Linkages? Where is the Evidence? (2011, unknown): “Arnold et al. (2006) report on evidence, primarily from East Africa, that tree management by farmers is on the rise resulting in increasing reliance on private fuelwood supplies.”

Role of non-timber forest products in sustaining forest-based livelihoods and rural households' resilience capacity in and around protected area: a Bangladesh study† (2015, background): “2 fuels, mainly firewood, to cook and heat their homes and rely on traditional medicines harvested from forests (Arnold et al. 2006). The same study also finds that, in some 60 developing countries, hunting and fishing on forested land supplies over a fifth of people’s protein requirements (Mery et ”
Modeling Energy and Development: an Evaluation of Models and Concepts (2008, background): “Third, the contrast between declining per capita use and increasing total production of fuel wood in many regions expresses pressure on forests, shortages, and a potential fuel wood crisis (see e.g., Arnold et al., 2006).”

Energy justice for all? Rethinking Sustainable Development Goal 7 through struggles over traditional energy practices in Sierra Leone (2017, background): “As mentioned in the introduction, around 38% of the world's population relies on some form of fuelwood as a primary energy source and fuelwood crisis narratives have continue to shape policy development in many different parts of the developing world (for example see Leach and Mearns, 1996; Benjamin”
Poverty and firewood consumption : A case study of rural households in northern China (2011, background): “The impact of firewood collection on forest degradation and on its relationship with rural livelihood has been largely debated, the issue receiving varying attention over time (Arnold et al. , 2003; 2006).”
Urban energy transition and technology adoption: the case of Tigrai, northern Ethiopia. (2012, unknown): “In their synthesis of woodfuels, livelihoods and policy interventions, Arnold et al. (2006) argue that the fuelwood discourse or crisis has shown a classic pattern of thesis and antithesis over the last few decades.”
Fuelwood, forests and community management – evidence from household studies (2008, result): “This focus on the recent economics literature with an emphasis on demand and policy issues related to fuelwood scarcity and community management also distinguishes the paper from other reviews such as Dewees (1989), Hyde and Köhlin (2000), and Arnold et al. (2006).”
