Insight, part of a Special Feature on The influence of human demography and agriculture on natural systems in the Neotropics Urban Forest and Rural Cities: Multi-sited Households, Consumption Patterns, and Forest Resources in Amazonia (2008, background): “…Columbia University, 5Center for Environmental Research and Conservation, Columbia University, 6The School for Field Studies, 7Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies and ACT - Dept. of Anthropology, Indiana University (Grau et al. 2003, Aide and Grau 2004, Wright and Muller-Landau 2006).”
Global expansion and redistribution of Aedes-borne virus transmission risk with climate change (2017, background): “Whether expanding transmission risk leads to future establishment and viral outbreaks 342 depends not only on disease introduction, but also on land use patterns and urbanization at 343 regional scales, a fact that may ultimately buffer some high-elevation regions like the Andes 344 from increased d”
Abandonment of agricultural land: an overview of drivers and consequences (2007, background): “competitive exclusion [79], invasion of exotic plants [80], litter accumulation [81] and increased predation [82].”
Guest Editorial, part of a Special Feature on The influence of human demography and agriculture on natural systems in the Neotropics Globalization and Land-Use Transitions in Latin America (2008, background): “The fate of Latin American ecosystems will depend on how economic and social forces influence where and how the growing Latin American population lives in the coming decades and how the region responds to the global changes in population, trade, consumption, and technology.”
Determinants of agricultural land abandonment in post-Soviet European Russia (2011, background): “For instance, from 1990 to 2000 in Russia, the average life expectancy declined from 69 to 65 years, and the male life expectancy in rural areas of central European Russia declined even more rapidly – from 61 to 53 years (Rosstat, 2002).”
Plant species diversity in alien black locust stands: a paired comparison with native stands across a north-Mediterranean range expansion. (2012, background): “Previous studies have underlined the possible homogenisation effect derived from the spread of recent alien secondary forests (Grau et al., 2003; Olden and Rooney, 2006; Martinez, 2010).”
International Labor Migration from a Tropical Development Frontier: Globalizing Households and an Incipient Forest Transition (2008, background): “the case of Puerto Rico ( Grau et al. 2003 ; R udelet al. 2000) and others (Hecht et al. 2006); however, we call for a more explicit incorporation of globalizing household economies into forest transition theory.”
Interaction effects between economic development and forest cover determine deforestation rates (2006, background): “Rather, it is the result of human migration from rural to urban areas in response to shifts from agriculture to industry-based economies (Rudel et al., 2000; Grau et al., 2003).”
The agroecological matrix as alternative to the land-sparing/agriculture intensification model (2010, positive): “Based on this and other examples, some have proposed that the FT model could be a framework for understanding tropical landscape dynamics in general and even be used for promoting a conservation agenda (8, 9, 11).”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “Despite this overall trend toward deforestation, abandonment of agricultural land is a growing phenomenon in some tropical regions, especially where economic development and urban expansion is occurring rapidly [Franco et al., 1997; Grau et al., 2003; Lambin et al., 2003; Rudel et al., 2000].”
