Enhancing the sustainability of commodity supply chains in tropical forest and agricultural landscapes (2013, background): “FAOstat), are increasingly extensive in their precision, accuracy and spatial and temporal coverage (Alves et al., 2009; Hansen et al., 2010).”
Impacts of human disturbance in tropical dry forests increase with soil moisture stress (2017, background): “Doi: 10.1111/jvs.12547© 2017 International Association for Vegetation Science highest loss in forest cover, after boreal forests and humid tropical forests (Kalacska et al. 2004; Sanchez-Azofeifa et al. 2005; Hansen et al. 2010; Griscom & Ashton 2011).”
An assessment of deforestation and forest degradation drivers in developing countries (2012, background): “However, other data sources are available, such as the remote sensing based estimates of Hansen et al (2010), which might divert from the FAO estimates.”
Land use patterns and related carbon losses following deforestation in South America (2015, background): “Previous estimates of deforestation ranged from 3.74 to 4.09 million ha yr−1 for the 1990s, and 3.28 to 4.87 million ha yr−1 for (part of) the 2000s (DeFries et al 2002, Hansen et al 2008, 2010, Eva et al 2012, Harris et al 2012, Achard et al 2014, FAO 2015).”
Does community forest management provide global environmental benefits and improve local welfare (2012, background): “org M of the world’s biodiversity and terrestrial carbon is found in forests in low-income countries, some of which are subject to high rates of habitat degradation, including deforestation (Malhi et al. 1999; Luyssaert et al. 2007; Hansen et al. 2010).”
Causes and implications of persistent atmospheric carbon dioxide biases in Earth System Models (2014, background): “For example, land use carbon emissions are an important component of the terrestrial carbon budget and are highly uncertain [Hansen et al., 2010; Houghton et al., 2012; Baccini et al., 2012; Andres et al., 2012; Harris et al., 2012].”
Natural disturbance impacts on ecosystem services and biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests (2015, neutral): “In particular, we examine the effects of three of the most detrimental disturbance agents globally [i.e. fire, wind, and bark beetles (FAO, 2010)], focusing on forest ecosystems of the boreal and temperate biomes, a forest area of approximately 13.5 million km 2 (Hansen, Stehman & Potapov, 2010).”
Good practices for estimating area and assessing accuracy of land change (2014, background): “Although it is possible to estimate area of change without producing a change map (Achard et al., 2002; FAO, 2010; Hansen et al., 2010), we will assume that a map of change exists (although there will not necessarily be a map for each date).”
Tropical Dry Forest Diversity, Climatic Response, and Resilience in a Changing Climate (2019, background): “Tropical dry forests have the third highest deforestation rate globally and are subject to high anthropogenic alteration [14,18,19].”
Physical and biological feedbacks of deforestation (2012, background): “In this image, the potential forest extent is represented in gray [Hansen et al., 2010].”
Measuring and modelling above-ground carbon and tree allometry along a tropical elevation gradient (2012, background): “The biome is in flux, on the one hand tropical deforestation is estimated at 476,000 ± 49,000 km2 yr 1 (0.5%; Hansen et al., 2010), releasing 2.9 ± 0.5 Pg C yr 1 into the atmosphere – more than one third of global carbon emissions (Pan et al., 2011).”
