Socio-Economics and Vegetation Change in Urban Ecosystems: Patterns in Space and Time (2009, methodology): “The rate of vegetation change was calcu- lated following the methods of Puyravaud (2003) as: Rate ¼ 1 t2 t1 ln A2 A1 ; where A1 is the cover of woody vegetation at an initial time (t1) and A2 is the cover of woody vegetation at a later time (t2).”
Consequences of Environmental Service Payments for Forest Retention and Recruitment in a Costa Rican Biological Corridor (2009, methodology): “The annual rate equation provided a standard method for making land-cover change comparisons that were insensitive to the differing time periods (10 vs. 5 yr) between observation dates (Puyravaud 2003).”
Agriculture expansion and deforestation in seasonally dry forests of north-west Argentina (2005, methodology): “We calculated relative deforestation rate (r= change in forest area in relation to remaining forest) following Puyravaud (2003).”
Understanding the impacts of Costa Rica's PES: Are we asking the right questions? (2010, background): “Historic forest area data for Costa Rica, however, have varied wildly depending upon data sources, spatial and temporal resolution, the definition of forest used, how secondary forest is treated, the formula used to calculate deforestation rate (Puyravaud, 2003), and other details as shown in Fig.”
Guidelines for the application of IUCN Red List of Ecosystems categories and criteria (2015, background): “For example, ecosystems in the early stages of large-scale exploitation may be more likely to exhibit linear patterns of decline (ARD) than those in an advanced stage of decline, where the area lost over time will eventually reduce to zero with diminishing area (Puyravaud, 2003).”
