• Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change (2019, neutral): “Although the rate of forest loss has slowed globally since the 1980s, it is still rapid inmany tropical regions (27), and the increased extent of temperate and boreal forests (28) has been accompanied by increased fragmentation and changes in function [such as carbon storage (29)].”
• Fostering natural forest regeneration on former agricultural land through economic and policy interventions (2020, background): “Compared to subtropical and temperate zones, natural regeneration on former agricultural land in the tropics tends to be a more recent phenomenon, where net forest loss is still occurring (Song et al 2018).”
• Identifying the spatiotemporal changes of annual harvesting areas for three staple crops in China by integrating multi-data sources (2020, background): “However, climate change, urbanization, economy and policy, and cropland degradation have led to significant changes in cropland area and threaten global food security (Liu et al 2014, Asseng et al 2015, Song et al 2018).”
• Factors Affecting Long-Term Trends in Global NDVI (2019, background): “[19] studied the global land change from 1982 to 2016 and found that tree cover increased by 2.”
• Global land use / land cover with Sentinel 2 and deep learning (2021, background): “Over the last several decades, human-induced land use/land cover (LULC) change has affected ecosystems across the globe [1].”
