Participatory Simulation of Land-Use Changes in the Northern Mountains of Vietnam: the Combined Use of an Agent-Based Model, a Role-Playing Game, and a Geographic Information System (2005, methodology): “From validating to legitimizing the decisionmaking model Land use/cover change (LUCC) models have to be carefully validated if they are to be used to support collective decision-making or action (Lambin et al. 2003, Parker et al. 2003, Pontius et al. 2004).”
Impacts of human disturbance in tropical dry forests increase with soil moisture stress (2017, background): “Disturbances are often selective and therefore can cause shifts in species composition of forests (Kennard et al. 2002), while excessive disturbance may lead to loss of forest cover (Leiva & Fernandez-Ales 2003; Qu ezel & M edail 2003; Plieninger et al. 2004; Dufour-Dror 2007).”
Global demand for gold is another threat for tropical forests (2015, background): “…of high diversity tropical ecosystems has been mainly due to agricultural expansion, cattle ranching, timber extraction, and urban expansion; and these activities have important consequences for the global carbon budget, biodiversity loss, and degradation of ecosystem services (Lambin et al 2003).”
Reconnecting to the Biosphere (2011, background): “In the globalized social–ecological system, intricate crossscale interactions play out in novel ways (Lambin et al. 2003; Holling 2004; Adger et al. 2009; Galaz et al. 2010).”
Urban energy systems within the transition to sustainable development. A research agenda for urban metabolism (2017, background): “Cultural factors are linked to political and economic inequalities and are the foundation of decision-making (Lambin et al., 2003).”
Harvestmen in an Atlantic forest fragmented landscape: Evaluating assemblage response to habitat quality and quantity (2007, background): “These processes, fostered by the expansion of agriculture and urban frontiers ( Lambin et al., 2003 ), cause not only the loss and fragmentation of tropical forest, but also the modification of the structure and quality of remnants, both through edge induced mechanisms and the proliferation of fires”
Application of remote sensing and GIS inland use/land cover mapping and change detection in a part of south western Nigeria (2007, background): “Remote sensing has an important contribution to make in documenting the actual change in land use/land cover on regional and global scales from the mid-1970s (Lambin et al., 2003).”
